I can't decide whether I like pork scrathings or not, I know that they are disgusting but every time I have them they taste really good, odd. I only ever have them if I am starving though.

I adore them, especially the softer ones which are just basically slightly crisped up lard. The really hard crackling skin bits occasionally beat my teeth though; if it's a particularly large piece they just can't cope.
Damn you all, I now want a pint and a pack of scratchings. |

QUOTE (Stella MM @ Nov 27 2005, 02:26 AM) Now you know why the English are reknowned throughout the world for our culinary excellence.  Nah, I wouldn't be so quick to take the blame.... Mikey's possibly leading a sheltered existence, as pork rinds (as they are known here) are a Yank "delicacy" too, particularly in the South and Southwest. They run a far distant second to the Mexican chicharrones, if you ask me. (I'm biased, though, it's my heritage.) This post has been edited by thirtyhelens: Nov 28 2005, 04:07 AM |

Yup, plenty of pork rinds available in the States. My dad used to eat them all the time when I was a kid... but I have to say, I haven't touched one since.

It's closed now, but when it was open, driving past it was awful. I love the snacks, but boy do they factories stink. |
