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! -- Jean B. |

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. Huey |

Not my main thing and they are expensive, at least as compared to potato chips or similar non LC snacks. |

There are indeed differences among brands.

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. Huey |

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. I can't find them anywhere else than in asian supermarkets, but I live in France, not in the US. Ah. Regions with a lot of Mexican immigrants will them in most stoes. That's most of the US. |
