Hitlerszalonna or Hitler-szalonna (Hungarian "Hitler bacon") was a dense fruit jam,〔"Így például a mindenféle vegyes hullott gyümölcsből készült kemény tömblekvárt Hitler szalonnának nevezték." (Interview of Deme Juliet ) (born Mailender () Juliet) Budapest, Hungary, Interviewer: Zsolt Boros December, 2004 Centropa〕 although there is debate about how much fruit was actually in it and how edible it was, that was eaten by Hungarian troops and civilians during World War II. It was made from mixed fruits such as plum and sold in brick shaped blocks held in a piece of paper rather than in a jar. These slabs were sliced, a bit like szalonna (bacon). Soldiers kept it in a case〔 Photo of case and forum discussion 〕 and it could be cooked with other foods. The term itself is considered slang and defined as something like "tough fruit".〔Szabó, Edina ''(A magyar börtönszleng szótára )'' (2008) (Hungarian dictionary of slang)〕 == Etymology == One possible source of this name derives from food provisions given to Hungarian soldiers. In armed conflicts before World War II, Hungarian soldiers were aligned with the Austrian Kaiser (emperor), and received normal bacon as their food supply, which was referred to as "Kaiser-bacon". (Compare Kaiser roll.) During World War II, Hungarian soldiers received food provisions from the Germans, and it was often fruit flavored jam instead of bacon. So the soldiers started to refer to this jam as the emperor's bacon, and the "emperor" was Adolf Hitler. This expression has also appeared in a printed book.〔Ungváry, Krisztián. ''A magyar honvédség a második világháborúban''. Budapest: Osiris, 2005.
