I'm a sucker for Indian food.

I will occasionally eat chitlins. And by occasionally, I mean once or twice a year. I know they're nasty (theoretically speaking) and godawful for you, but I can't help myself. That shit is good.

Literally.

Ya, i wont eat that either...

tinaz said:

I used to love them, but I haven't eaten pork in years! One day they looked so good in that bag, I almost broke down. I thought, "What harm could it do?"
But I didn't.

tinaz said:

amen to that sista!

tinaz said:

No amen to that. But, u're female... understandable.

for me it's actual sugar. I use waaaay to much sugar. Like 3-4 spoons in my coffe; Soda (pop)..i drink waaay to much soda; and kool aid too. I need to learn how to make plain water my fiend.

Food.

When I lived in Philly I used to get pork rinds at the meat store. REAL pork rinds, not the airy fluffy ones in the chip aisle.

I'd eat them till I wanted to puke.

I haven't found them here.

I'd change the emoticon to the emoticon be happy you can't find them if you can't resist them!

I guess you're right , but I'd sell a kidney for just a taste of that crispy-lardy-goodness.

johnart said:

What were they like? did you have to cook em?

tinaz said:

I was thinking of "fat back"- pork skin that you drop in hot oil and fry until crispy- with a little bit of fat still on it!

LMAOOOO

tinaz said:

You can buy a slab at the butcher, get them to slice it up, and drop it in that oil and fry the hell out of it.

Let us know how it comes out!

chocolate1 said:

LOL! So do I call it fat back? Or Pig skin?

tinaz said:

fatback.
(feelin' nostalgic for Mom's fried pork skins )

veronikka said:

Kinda but not. I mean, I suppose the main ingredient is the same...pork skin. The one Veronikka posted is more of what I'm talking about.

Fat back is Tocino, which you use as a base when cooking. You cut small strips and render the grease for use in whatever you're making. (and if you're a piggy like me then you eat the pieces instead of discarding them )
But that one is crazy salty.

Chicharron, is pork rinds. Not as salty. Larger pieces (in Puerto Rico you can buy huge chunks at traffic lights ) and you sometimes eat it with Pan de Agua (baguette type bread). You don't cook it any further than how it comes.
