Quick question
What are pork rinds? I've heard them mentioned so many times on this group
but still haven't a clue what they are or where you buy them from in the UK. Thank you, Denise |

Fried pork skin.
I don't get to help much because I'm still new to all this but that was an easy one. Lorraine "Dee Varley" wrote in message ... What are pork rinds? I've heard them mentioned so many times on this group but still haven't a clue what they are or where you buy them from in the UK. Thank you, Denise |

What are pork rinds? In the UK, you can sometimes get them as 'bacon flavour puffs' from Superdrug, or find 'pork scratchings' in a supermarket or pub. -- Lexin (300/229/182) (5'7) LC since 9 June 2003 |

Thank you, Denise They are the skin of a pig fried to utter crispness in grease. They are quiet puffy and light, although some varieties such as cracklin's are heavier and more substantial. In Hispanic countries they're called "chicharrones." I know you have them in Great Britain, but maybe just in the countryside. I work with a guy from Shropshire (sorry if spelling is off) and I offered him some of my store-bought pork rinds. He said, "Um...no thanks...my grandfather used to make those when he slaughtered a pig and I didn't like them then..." I think most countries where pork is eaten have some variation of them. They have always been very popular in mostly the southern and southwestern parts of the US but almost unheard of in the northeast where I am until relatively recently. |

They

I had no idea that I could consider 'pork scratchings' a suitable food for
dieters! I have seen them in pubs but haven't tried them. Thank you for the enlightening replies, All the best, Denise |

What are pork rinds? Deep fried crispy pork skins. Chicarones in Spanish. Available anywhere that has Hispanic items. May be near the munchy snacks elsewhere. I've heard them mentioned so many times on this group but still haven't a clue what they are or where you buy them from in the UK. Maybe they are named pork cracklings in the UK. Pork outards not pork inards. |

Quick question
I saw a web site that sells microwave pork rinds. Has anyone tried them.
Wasn't it GW Bush Sr who loved them? -- Diane Atkins since 12/4/2003 234/212/150 5"8 "Doug Freyburger" wrote in message om... Dee Varley wrote: What are pork rinds? Deep fried crispy pork skins.
