Italians and Christmas Eve

I ate something called chicila (sp) or lard bread. I was wondering if you have had it, where i can find it, if at the bakery what do i ask for?

tia

wow..that totally does not sound appetizing at all lol

Did it have stuff in it? Or was it just a regular bread?

You can usually get it at an A&S pork store or Italian gourmet deli or bakery. I don't know the Italian name for it though. They should know what you want if you ask for lard bread.
