Smoked pork loin

[jdtofbna]

Ok, I got carried away and, at the advice of my favorite wine merchant, I bought some smoked cheese and a hunk of Hugarian smoked pork loin to go with this juicy French Columbelle, to serve as snacks with 2 friends. That was all well and good, but now I'm left with big leftover hunks of smoked cheese and smoked pork loin---I mean, seriously smoked, like the meat was air-dried (still has the string attached.) I'm having some friends over Friday evening and would like to incorporate the dried smoked meat into some sort of hors d'oeuvres, but not being a big meat eater, I'm sort of clueless. Unless sliced very thinly, the meat is quite tough, but sliced thinly and allowed to come to room temp, it has a great flavor. Any suggestions????
