Smoked prunes

In Ukraine they have a sort of smoked prunes which I guess they really like, because they are everywhere. The first time I experienced it was inside a big fat chocolate cake. I thought the cake had gone bad and I threw it out. Then I had smoked prunes ruin my yogurt and the other day I even accidentally drank the juice of smoked prunes. One time though these prunes really made sense to me. They have a so called 'Forest salad' in which smoked prunes are mixed with roasted walnuts, chicken and mayonnaise. That is actually quite good.
