Májka (Czech Meat Spread)

Májka is a traditional Czech canned meat product made primarily from pork with added fat and spices. It is a finely ground product with a smooth texture, sold in tins. It has a characteristic mild, slightly spiced flavour. In the kitchen it is used mainly as a quick spread on bread or rolls, but it also works well in cold appetisers and spreads combined with vegetables or eggs. It is especially popular at picnics and as a quick snack. Thanks to its long shelf life in the tin, it is a classic pantry staple in Czech households.
