Smoked Speck

Speck is an English word meaning "fat" or "blubber", attested since the early 17th century. This word also exists in German with the same meaning, but it normally refers to pork fat with or without some meat in it. Normal English use refers to German culinary uses, particularly of smoked or pickled pork belly.

In parts of the English-speaking culinary world, the term "Speck" refers to Italian Speck, a type of prosciutto, rather than German Speck, which is identical to the Italian "lardo". The term "Speck" became part of popular parlance only in the eighteenth century and replaced the older term "bachen", a cognate of "bacon".

There are a number of regional varieties of Speck, including:

• Bacon
• Black Forest Speck
• Gailtaler Speck from Austria, with PGI status, which has been made since the 15th century in Gail Valley ("Gailtal") in Kärnten.
• Lardo
• Pancetta
• Tiroler Speck from Austria's Tyrol region, which has PGI status, and has been made since at least the 15th century.

Use in the figurative sense

In German, typesetters (and publishers) use(d) the word Speck (printing) traditionally for easy made manuscripts, which have a lot of preset text or large pictures. Hamburger Speck is a sweet speciality in Hamburg.

Jewish deli Speck

Some Jewish delis in the United States sell a beef product called Speck. It is made from the top layer of fat cut from a pickled brisket (corned beef), dusted in paprika, double smoked and then grilled. It is then sliced and either served on its own, traditionally on rye bread with mustard or combined with another sliced meat in a sandwich.

• The Faintest Speck of Dirt: Disgust Enhances the Detection of Impurity.

• Sherman GD, Haidt J, Clore GL.AbstractPurity is commonly regarded as being physically embodied in the color white, with even trivial deviations from whiteness indicating a loss of purity. In three studies, we explored the implications of this "white = pure" association for disgust, an emotion that motivates the detection and avoidance of impurities that threaten purity and cleanliness. We hypothesized that disgust tunes perception to prioritize the light end of the light-dark spectrum, which results in a relative hypersensitivity to changes in lightness in this range. In Studies 1 and 2, greater sensitivity to disgusting stimuli was associated with greater ability to make subtle gray-scale discriminations (e.g., detecting a faint gray stimulus against a white background) at the light end of the spectrum relative to ability to make subtle gray-scale discriminations at the dark end of the spectrum. In Study 3, after viewing disgusting images, disgust-sensitive individuals demonstrated a heightened ability to detect deviations from white. These findings suggest that disgust not only motivates people to avoid impurities, but actually makes them better able to see them.
