Well I guess they are called pork rinds, but does anyone here eat these deep fried delights? I used to eat them with my mom all the time when I was young, but have not had them in forever. Do any of you make them homemade?
This site says the are called Scrunchions in Newfoundland and Oreilles de Christ (Christ Ears) in Quebec. http://mrtrotters.com/world.htmlI must say I have never seen them or even heard of them. I guess they are just not something that you can get around here or something people make. I would be interested in giving them a try though.
And binned it?!Caribbean girl can correct me if I am wrong, but I don't know we have that much if at all around here. I know a few people who like the fat from the pork when fried or baked but I don't know about the fried pork rinds or scratchings. I'll be asking around for sure. The thread caught me because I am herebaking some pork and would you believe my husband cut off all of the skin? Yup.

Those are them! Except we call them pork rinds and fried pig skins here. I love the terminology for British things as the names of everything sound so much better than what we Americans call different things. My favorite right now is "butty" which is what you all call french fry sandwiches. I am really shocked that those sandwiches are not mainstream here the the US because they sound so good!Do you mean Pork Scratchings? They are a traditional pub snack in the UK (not so much these days, but you can still buy them). Delicious!

However, when I looked these terms up, it seems they are made with different parts of the pig - but I think the concept is similar.
