Szalonna has two meanings.Szalonna is the Hungarian word for bacon and is also a village in Hungary, in the Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county.

Bacon

Hungarian backon is a back bacon rind, it is made of smoked pork fat with the rind, Hungarian tradition - bacon skewered onto a rod and roasted over an open fire pit. Once the bacon rind starts to sizzle and drip with grease, you remove the bacon from the fire and allow the grease to drip onto a slice of freshly baked bread. Return the bacon to the fire, and wait for the dripping, then again bring the bacon over your slice of bread to sop up the grease. This is repeated until the piece of bread is nearly saturated with grease. Sliced cucumber, red onion, paprika, ground pepper, and salt are used to jazz up the slice of bread, and then more drippings are followed to top it off. It is then eaten up as a rare and wholly coronary cajoling delicacy.

The Village

Sightseeing for visitors. In the village there is an old architectural heritage from the romanesque art: the church. It consists of two parts. Older is the rotunda on the east side of the recent building. Younger is, - although it is also of Árpád age - the village romanesque church with murals. The rotunda has several relatives of this type in the Carpathian Basin: Herencsény, Bagod-Szentpál, Hidegség. A group of such extended rotunda old churches have a specific characteristic: the six folded inner structure of Karcsa, Gerény and Kiszombor.
