Mmmmm MMMMMM good and such wonderful memories of the taste and smells.
Hi there
I am one that loves what you are describing.
The szalonna sütés over an open fire is a treat and it was akin to a
marshmallow roast or weenie roast in North American culture. This can be
done when camping or in the backyard over an open fire pit. Usually a piece
of szalonna the size of ones palm is cut halfway through in ½" squares and
the stick is inserted into it and the sütés begins. When most of the lard is
extracted this way and its about caramel brown its called tepertö and at
this time it curls and fans out like the tail on the proverbial turkey. This
is the time to cut it and put it on the rye bread that you have onions and
hot peppers on. Needless to say this is washed down with some Tokaji or Egri
Bikavér wine.
As for the (raw) füstölt paprikás (sonkás) szalonna eaten with raw onion and
rye bread and washed down with wine ;-)))))) ahhhh !!!! wish this quad
bypass would allow it :-(((((
Volt jó étvágy!

Hi Elizabeth... its a slab of bacon (preferably smoked) that is put on a
sharp stick. Its rotated slowly over a fire (takes patience & time) until
drippings are created. Once that starts then the drippings are put on
bread (my in-laws used rye) then peppers, onions tomatoes are put on the
bread folded up & eaten. My in-laws often would saute their veggies for a
bit as they didn't like them "crunchy' however not sure how others do
it. 'Tis sheer heaven to eat! Not sure where the Hungarian turkey slang
came from as my in-laws always said we were going to sült szalonna & thus
we spoke of it in our house as well.
Hope your e-mails begin coming thru OK
