If there is no obvious and well-known word in English for this, I would
suggest defining the word the first time it is used, ie: ...pork sulte
(a salted meat from the neck/throat)....   and then simply using
"pork sulte" from there on out.

If you use a little-known or specialized English word then some of us
will 
still have to look it up. Adamantius, are you listening? :-)
