If you want your heart to explode, yes. They are grilled pig fat. But they do rather well with Guinness.

Those look fucking delicious. Can't believe I live in Tennessee and can't find fresh ones

>>11954448
can't you just fry the shit out of chopped up pig belly?

>>11954480
Well, sure, but that's a ton of time and work and oil

>>11954506
>oil
it comes with oil anon
are you okay?

>>11954671
It's not grilled or pan fried, retard. To make cracklin you deep fry pork belly with skin. Deep fry. That means a big pot and a big jug of oil

nothing better with a nice cold ale down the pub

>>11953894
The ones like in your pic are. They need to have that fat layer otherwise they are useless.

>>11953894
Only if you're eating them hot from the fat while you start rendering down your next batch of fatback.

Doesn't know about making chicharones in a big cazo

>>11953894
Yes but many people are turned off by them (and rightly so) because the variety you get in stores/gas stations are terrible imitations due to restrictions in making them to have a shelf life longer than a few days...

There was a gas station near where i lived that had fresh ones and they sold enough daily to have them fresh.

any easy recipes for these?

>>11956037
Don't even understand that. What manner of retardation are you trying to get across?

>>11954722
You're the retard. You just need a little oil to start them off. Don't cook too fast, once they're nice and crunchy I promise you it'll look like you fried them in a quart of oil from all the rendered fat.

>>11956122
Yes. Buy pork skin. Cook them until the fat renders out and they crisp up.

>>11957314
Precisely. Render most of the fat and you'll get crispy shards of umami without the excess calories.

Every time we roast a joint of pork, and it is about 90% cooked, we remove the skin with a sharp knife taking care to leave most of the fat on the meat. You then use a spoon to scrape as much fat off the underside of the skin as possible and put the skin back in the oven suspended over a vessel that will catch any remaining fat as it renders and drips off. Eventually you'll end up with a large shard of super crunchy skin you can break into pieces and share round.

>>11957531
what do you do with the rendered pork fat?

>>11953894
They are sublime, if only they didn't come with instant coronary disease..

Reminder that fat is actually good for you:

lost a tooth to these things

I fucking love these things. I can only get fresh ones when I travel to Louisiana to visit family, I just can't find them even in East Texas.

>>11958962
Kek.

Never said that fat is not good for you , but depends really on the fat; monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats that produce high-density lipoproteins (HDL) are proven to be good for our health (in that it removes LDL cholesterol form our bloodstream) and thus protects against coronary disease and lowers the chances of a stroke later in life. These are usually found in fish, fatty vegetables like the avocado, raw olive oil etc. On the other hand trans and saturated fats while they make everything so fucking tasty are literally the reason we get coronary disease (because we tend to abuse them). Obviously they are all needed in a moderation for our body to function properly(aka lower our ldl and raise our ldl cholesterol).

>>11958962
>saturated f-fat isnt b-bad c-cuz sugar!!!

>>11953894
They're good, I get them once in a while. This supermarket near me sells big ass bags of fresh cracklings, and huge ass sheets of rinds that you break into pieces yourself. You can buy the pellets and cook them yourself.

>>11959018
Also forgot to mention that from what I understand the quality of our arterial system is obviously affected by other things like smoking and hereditary factors that we get from our parents (high blood cholesterol or hyperlipidemia) that just means that you have to be careful with those trans fats...

>>11953956
>>11958872
They aren't that bad for you, faggot. Just like any food, if you have it once in a while, it has no impact on your health what so ever. You aren't gonna have a heart attack because you ate a handful of pork rinds

>>11957806
Cook with it.

These are the only ones I have ever had and I thought they were good. Do you suggest trying to find a restaurant that makes fresh ones?

>>11953956
beer sucks

>>11953894

so good

>>11959156
Fresh is absolutely not the same as these. Way, way better

>>11959019
>pork fat is bad!

Oy vey you are right goy.. I mean guy! Eat more matzo!

>>11959228
But they're art-is-anal, anon, they've got to be better than any alternative.

>>11953894
With a salsas roja and fresh tortillas, my negro

>>11953894
They're fucking god tier for sure. Top thought technology at the pub is to get a bag of cracklings and a bag of salt and vinegar then mix them together.

>>11959212
air fried rinds are shit

>fat is unhealthy!
yes good goyim stay weak and stupid

>>11959644
>Biting into a crisp and getting surprised by a crunchy scratching
Not a nice feeling desu senpai
