Oatmeal Kissel with Fatback

A remarkable oat kissel with fatback — you've probably never had anything like it! This recipe makes a truly unusual kissel (a thick, pudding-like dish). Estonian cuisine is known for its unconventional fare — everyday dishes that include some surprisingly "bold" ingredients. Where else would you get to try a kissel made with pork fat? You might think the dish should be called Ukrainian, since Ukrainians are famously fond of salo (pork fat), but the Estonians beat them to it. It's quite possible cooks in other countries make similar kissels too. In short, this is an oatmeal kissel with pork fat, roughly speaking.
