It's a prominent side dish in Ukrainian cuisine (smoked, with herbs and garlic).

I think the side dish (сало) is similar but not identical to lard. Lard is processed by melting and separating the fat from the original tissue, while сало is not processed this way.
Sounds similar to lardo [1], which is a false friend of lard. Lard in Italian would be called strutto. Funnily enough lard in French is just bacon, and lard is called saindoux.
