Our latest last-minute post about an upcoming food event involves this weekend's first-ever "Budapest Mangalica Festival", a multi-day extravaganza featuring all kinds of activities involving Hungary's most overrated beloved breed of pig. But instead of giving you a longwinded list of all the various disznó-related diversions, we instead are going to use the opportunity to point out that the Mangalica has actually just arrived in America, where its unique pig properties are already being deployed with shocking results.

According to US food site seriouseats.com, a Seattle-based company called Wooly Pigs has just begun selling what it calls "Mangalitsa." While we were a little disappointed not to see Hungary specifically mentioned as the homeland of the newest addition to the American culinary melting pot, this was more than made up for by the above pic and below explanation:

The special qualities of Mangalitsa fat allow it to be whipped like cream.

Who knew?

Needless to say, anything that can be whipped like cream can probably also be whipped like cream and sweetened with sugar and dropped onto a plate of dessert pancakes, or otherwise eaten at the end of a gut-stuffing Hungarian meal likely to include at least one other course of fat-rich pork. Good weekend, and God Bless.
