Pork Rinds

[Saint Nick]

Okay, so I never had a pork rind until today. These things are fucking delicious. I just had the spicy Mission brand. Not bad macros either at 34g fat, 0g carbs, and 64g protein per bag. Any other brands out there?

PS the curled up pork rinds are the best.

I like cracklins. Subtly different, but the same general idea. The only problem is sometimes get one with a grease pocket that burst when you bite it. Not nice :^D

I prefer the kind that are more compact rather than puffy. It makes them crunchier.

Is this pretty involved or simple? I'm definitely game!

If you have Mexican grocery store near you they sell them in bulk by the pound -

cut up fat and skin, put in pot. stir til crispy :biggrin:

Mind you I am talking crackling. If you just want rind, just use the skin.

It's a by-product of making lard.

pork rinds are both amazing and disgusting. Been eating these all my life, but only occasionally. At first, they are delicious, but halfway through a small bag, they tend to sour on me and I can't stand the taste of them.

they are great to add to soup. French call it grattons.

I like pork rinds; however, I love cracklins. When I go home for vacation, I always stop and get a pound of Cajun seasoned cracklins.

Haha this. Delicious, but I still cringe a little when I eat them.

taco shops out here have Chicharone Burritos. I've never tried one but heard they're good. They soak them in some kind of sauce so they're not crunchy.
