Being a poor country, I'd have to imagine it came from necessity to use everything and to get nutrients. I remember hearing in history class that toward the end of WWII, Russians were eating car axle grease (It was made from animal fat) and shoe leather.

This one just happens to be scrumptious. You should see the butchers expression when I ask for the pork fat trimmings.

F'ing Smuckers makes it.

Or make your own:

Ingredients:
3 Pounds Red Plums
4 cups sugar

Directions:
Wash and pit 3 pounds of red plums, place in bowl of food processor and chop coarsley. Measure 5 cups plums. Add the sugar and allow to stand for one hour. Boil hard, uncovered until syrup sheets off a metal spoon, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat; skim off foam. Pour at once into hot sterilzed jars; seal. Makes 5 half pints.

Mock if you want, food snob, but that **** is awesome spread on dark German wheat then dipped into a hot can of beefaroni.

+1 Some people have far more serious nutritional problems than worrying about the detrimental effects of putting lard on your bread. Go tell some starving malnourished East African that lard is bad for you. I've seen someone do this.....they look at you like you are a complete idiot.

It's not me being a food snob. Ill eat bad **** too. It's the fact most americans indulge in it to extreme degrees because they think its healthy for them.

never said i was gonna do that...

Hell to the yes! Although I'm a ravioli guy myself. Actually, just ravioli on bread is good.

yeah, but no one carries it!


thanks for the recipe...now to find some plums....

and it has freaking high fructose corn syrup in it!

nasty!

Seriously who the f thought "hey lets put eggs and vinegar out in the sun then eat it!" I wish the inventor of mayo was never born.

blasphemy

I guess Dominos in Japan would be upset to hear that.It's one of their Pizzatoppings.

The beginning, the middle and the end.

do they sell vegemite in the us? it doesn't seem too popular here from the wiki page, even though kraft makes it. i wanna try it.

i'm also czech, at least a little, and sadlo seems disgusting to me... although i'm also vegetarian...

They don't sell it in the US.

Olive oil and balsamic vinegar FTW!

well, actually, it's just transliteration of it that reflected the original arabic pronunciation (as closely as english could, i suppose), but it's not the original spelling as that involves a completely different alphabet.

i've always liked mayonnaise, but after eating vegenaise, i can't eat regular mayo anymore. that eggy taste kills it for me.
