The day has finally come. Humanity has achieved perfection.

For years people here have loved pork fat, known as salo.

Normally, small slices of the white fat are eaten with black bread, raw garlic and vodka.

Though I think in terms of quantity, that list is probably reversed. After a bunch of vodka, most people would try anything. But that's not the perfection, as wonderful as a pork fat 'n' garlic sammich may sound.

For the equivalent of £1 you can now get four small sticks of salo covered in chocolate at Kiev's poshest Ukrainian restaurant.

Chocolate covered pork fat. What a way to go.

I'd like to see it deep fried before I call it "perfection".
