Oct. 21- Love for the pig and its fat, was celebrated in western Ukraine by holding the biggest pork festival ever. Traditionally pork fat (Salo) is eaten in small slices with black bread, garlic and vodka. But at the festival the norm was changed in the bigger the portion the better. 51-year old Volodymr Stryhaniv broke all the records: in just twenty minutes he managed to woolf down one kilogram of pork fat. He can now proudly call himself king of Salo. Reuters QuickCut is a video snapshot of the most compelling images from around the world.
