That's something I haven't seen elsewhere. (To explain to those who don't know - it's a carbonated grape-flavored beverage - not too sweet, kind of tangy in taste.) Kofola… :S

The great thing about something like zabijacka is that the family really appreciated the pig, all the pig. Pretty much nothing went to waste. The meat that could not be eaten right away was preserved for later, and used to sustain the family through the winter. The wooden cottage where my great-grandma grew up used one of the rooms for meat storage during winter. As my dad has told me, various pieces of meat or bacon would hang from the ceiling rafters, and the door was kept shut to keep the room cool. The family would only go in to cut off a piece of meat for dinner. Well, eating any meat is barbaric in a way.

I myself never witnessed one of these rituals (nor am I really keen on it), even though I have eaten a few hurky. :S Whenever I tell anyone about this custom, they give me a look of disbelief and gasp: “that’s positively barbaric!!”

Amanda is right, chocolate bars filled with a SLIGHTLY chestnut flavored filling, more like nougat, though. Because of its chocolatey consistency that melted in your mouth, I used to savour them! Yes, you're right about soda/pop being a regional variety. Not just southern. ;) However, I just wanted to clarify that there is a difference between the sweet stuff and the clear carbonated water. Otherwise, like you did with the beer - someone might end up with malinovka instead of soda :S :) Hello again,
