Default pork rinds/pork cracklings

In the past I have never deigned to eat pork rinds/cracklings. I
thought they sounded just disgusting. However, I am now eating
them, find them pretty palatable, and think they will really hold
off any craving I might have for crisp things. Very helpful!

Ground up, they make a great LC substitute for bread crumbs.

I tried them once. They are sold here only in asian grocery stores.

And I could'nt believe how one could eat that. It had the taste of badly
washed sausage enveloppe (if you know what I mean).
It tasted like something that shouldn't be eaten.
And I have no problem with pork , in general.


Maybe there are several "qualities", grades, and I only found the poor one.

You may have found something tuned for the Asian
market. Here in the NYC area they are available in
many of the supermarkets and come in flavors like
barbeque. Not my main thing and they are expensive,
at least as compared to potato chips or similar non
LC snacks.

I tried them once ... And I could'nt believe how one could eat that.


The flavor and strength of the flavor varies widely by brand. Some are
strong and nasty others mild and just slightly tastey.

Freshness is a HUGE factor, too.

There are indeed differences among brands.

Understood. I'll try them again while looking up for the freshness, at
least.

I can't find them anywhere else than in asian supermarkets, but I live
in France, not in the US.

If you can see inside the bag I've found that the lighter the color the
better the flavor, and that the lighter the texture the better the
flavor. If there are any visible clumps it will taste bad.

Ah. Regions with a lot of Mexican immigrants will them in most stoes.
That's most of the US.

Carbs and vegetable oil are *cheap*.
