- There are many recipes in my Polish cookery books for a variety of spreads using cooked meat or fish.
- In Polish this would be called pasta – a paste or a spread.
- This recipe was given to me by my late cousin who lived near Durham.
Ingredients

Method
- Drain the salmon from the liquid in the tin.
- Remove the skin and any bones.
- Mash the salmon up with a fork.
- Add the cheese and the lemon juice.

- Add some soured cream to make a softer spread.
- Season to taste.
- Put into a bowl to serve or into individual little pots.
