Pork cracklings

[Groucho]

Something I feel will split opinion on this fine food, err, football forum.

Crackling, yay or nay?

 

[FTY]

DEFO!

My favorite part of the pig.

Doesn't look nice there though.

Crackling is ace. Good hog roast sandwich with crackling ...

I like pork crackling and I also like that the poll says pork cracking.

 

[noharmdone]

Love it..

 

[ijjysmith]

Yes.

But they're called Pork Scratchings.

I remember when my mate introduced me to them.

I text him a few days later. Asked him what the white bit was.

He replied. Two words. 'Pig fat'.

Boss.

That was a top shout for a pulled pork sandwich in Edinburgh, this thread has reminded me of it.

Yes.

But they're called Port Scratchings.

To clarify - I thought crackling was the stuff from a roast joint, while scratchings are the pork based bar snack.

Crackling is from the roast joint.

Stupid autocorrect.

I am fully aware it can be switched off.

Oink is boss mate - which sauce did you have?

I sort of meant both anyway.

Yay, but I actually prefer bacon fries as the snack of choice - my local cruiser sells cracklings that might as well have been made by Royal Doulton!

The best ones you can get from the offy are ones that come in a white bag (not mr porky) and have been imported from Wolverhampton, so you know they're proper.
