Fun Baader-Meinhof effect I experienced: the very evening of the day in which I read this article, while chatting with my father-in-law, he mentioned (without me prompting) eating and enjoying a sandwich with lard, honey and chestnuts while vacationing in the Alps. Not quite the same but close enough, for more accessible ingredients. And the mountain setting makes a lot of sense because:
all the ingredients would be local and traditional
the cold means people burn more energy and thus favours the development of more energy-dense foods
Huh… This reminds me of a conversation I had ~11 years ago with a Polish guy recounting his visit to Chechnya and Chechnyan hospitality, including them giving him bread with sour cream and sugar.
