Chicharrones

[nocoincidences]

I used to get them fresh cooked in Texas.

I am in Virginia now and the concept of fried pork rinds is not really understandable.

I've been trying to find them to order but a lot of sellers add stuff into the product that is not fried pork rinds.
Does anyone have a brand that is reliably the pork rinds I have loved for years?

2. My granmother made them when I was a kid, but we called them 'cracklings'. ...

7. I would think cracklings would be readily available back east

8. Not really. Chicharrones became some sort of a diet food and became popular even in Ohio. Cracklins were ...

... made only by country folks and the younger folks just didn't care for them. I've never seen them in a bag, but I could find chicharrones.

3. Chicharrones...

I get them from a nearby Spanish market…

One big surprise: This past weekend, we had them served as freshly created “pork scratchings” at the local Irish pub… They were soooo good, I could cry…

4. I buy Clancy's Chicharrones pork rinds at Aldi's.

I tried many different brands, but Clancy's (imo) tastes the best.
