Ukrainians are depicted by the Russians as rustic, stingy, and inordinately fond of salted salo (pork back fat); their accent, which is imitated in jokes, is perceived as funny.
A Ukrainian tourist is questioned at international customs: "Are you carrying any weapons or drugs?"
"What are drugs?"
"They make you get high."
"Yes, salo."
"But salo is not a drug."
"When I eat salo, I get high!"

Thought it was a Canadian peculiarity.
