In Italy and Croatia it is custom to prepare salted cod (baccala) salad, stew or spread for Christmas Eve. One very popular dish is pate made from cod, potatoes, garlic, parsley and olive oil. A couple of times, out of pure laziness and lack of tools I made pate chunkier. And I liked it. Then I made it even chunkier, and liked it even better. Next time the pieces grew a bit more. And they kept growing... And that is how the Chunky Baccala Salad was born.
