YUMMY scrumptious BACON! EVERY day should be National Bacon Day, not just New Years Eve.

A gypsy-style Hungarian tradition sutni szalona, pronounced "shoot-knee salona (long o), also known as "greasy bread" is made with a thick slab of jowl bacon roasted over a fire (hardwood) until the grease starts to drip. The grease is dripped onto a slice of thick, fresh bread and tomato, onion, green peppers, & salt are used for flavoring with more drippings on top. Don't knock it until you've tried it. Pure bacon ambrosia at it's best!

In the traditional gypsy-style. szalonna is skewered on a rod (or preferably, a freshly cut stick from a cherry, apple or other fruit tree) and roasted over an open fire pit or narrow container allowing the fire to heat to extremely hot temperatures. A wood fire is best(hardwood) for additional flavor, although hardwood charcoal (not briquets) is acceptable. Once it starts to sizzle and drip with grease, the szalonna is removed from the fire and the grease is allowed to drip onto a slice of freshly baked bread. The szalonna is returned to the fire and the process is repeated until the piece of bread is nearly saturated with grease.
Sliced cucumber, red onion, green peppers, sliced radishes, paprika, other vegetables, ground pepper, and salt are used to add flavor to the slice of bread, and then more drippings are followed to top it off. Periodically, the charred remains are scraped off of the szalonna and are used as an additional topping. This dish was considered to be a peasants’ food since the most important aspect was the fat, discarded by wealthier Hungarians.
Makes my mouth water!
