Self-determination - pork rinds

Hi,

Well, I am constantly suprised by the range of experiences on LBO talk, but I assume I am one of the few people here who has roasted an entire pig and then carved it up into serving portions...

The skin of a pig is just the thin outer surface. Directly below the skin is a thick layer of fat. A pork rind is the skin and a chunk of the layer of fat, deep fried in lard. Cracklins are just a layer of fat, deep fried in lard. In New York you can find both if you ask around.

I eat them on road trips through the south. It's a culture thing. Like shopping at Piggly-Wiggly or drinking RC Cola.
