<-----has never had a pork rind but is now curious.

they're a crunchy, airy, pork flavored mouth-gasm...

From the baby jesus himself.

Actually, I prefer REAL porkrinds (not that the others are fake) from the meat store (I used to get them in Philly, can't find here ). They are not airy at all but nice and firm and full of lardy goodness. I ate them non-stop.

Me, too. And not for the salmon patties and salad I have at home, either.

Jeez! It's like one mind here! You're scaring me...because I've got a salmon fillet in my fridge that so does not sound good anymore.

That doesn't make me want to try pork rinds, but it does make me want to go find some Bugles.

I had caramel Bugles the other day....

That is beautiful

Those are not the ones from the butcher.

In Puerto Rico, at the traffic lights you can get huge slabs of real pork rinds.

They come in bags and you just break em' off and eat em with a piece of bread. x 1 million

My hometown is Bayamon also called "El Pueblo de Chicharron" (the pork rind town)

I'd lick a real pig to get some 'real' pork rinds

I had no idea they even made caramel Bugles.

Quite honestly, I'm not sure how I feel about it.

See! That's why I can't get back to a size 4.

See. That's the real McCoy! I knew what John was talkiing about when he said "real pork rinds." Any Southerner worth his salt knows bout cracklins!

One of the best parts of rendering lard at home is the cracklings.

I need to find me a meat store here and see if they'd do it, even if they're not out for sale.

In Iowa--and probably other Midwest states--you can just buy a whole pig and the butcher will give you everything when he's done raising it and cutting it up--lard included. It's not enough to entice me to move back, but it's definitely an incentive.

Tonight I made chikkunz fingers "breaded" with crushed pork rinds.

Lambs & bulls/cows have cloven hooves & eat cud, which is how they are classify as clean animals. I'm sad to say that I don't have a sciencific explanation at the moment.

And I've never seen bulls OR lambs eat human waste neither.

There is no "scientific" explanation for why some animals are 'clean' and others 'unclean,' other than the diet of the animals. Goats, sheep, deer and cows are basically herbivores, whereas pigs, like humans are onmivores (eat plants and meat). Shellfish and catfish are 'unclean' because they filter the waters they live in but what about farm raised?

It makes no difference. Catfishes will still suck up the bottom of the ocean AND lakes. And shellfishes are to the water what pigs/swines are to the land. There are creatures that we need to naturally clean the environment.

And please don't ever get me started about oysters. Those creatures suck up more trash than catfishes!

For the record, how many of you have even eaten pig tongue? Many years ago, I've actually seen cooked pig tongues and they look like beef from a distance! :omg

Everything is eaten on the pig. Not one organ, orafice, appendage, is wasted.
