Pork rinds/pork scratchings

Do they count as junk food? They are mainly protein (ok, and fat).

I'm debating whether they can be included as permissible in limited quantities in my diet.

Best err on the side of caution and send them to me to eat.

Nice try I don't have any so I'd have to go out to get them. If I do that, I'm eating them!

My daughter and I make our own.

The supermarkets sell slices of pork skin for crackling and we cut it into strips, salt well, then stick in when using the roasting oven. Grrrrreat they are too.

Anything that involves a blowtorch sounds like fun.

Do you add oil, or just salt? How long do you bake them for?

(Good thing I proof read this as my phone changed blowtorch to biotech)

If you want to control diabetes or loose weight, scratchings are perfect. They helped me loose eight stones.

Just don't eat them AND carbs. That is the road to disaster.

I rub a little salt on the skin and then leave it overnight, pat dry with kitchen towel, trickle of oil another light salt and cut into strips and roast along with anything else that is in a hot oven.

My favourite snakes include pork crunch, rinds and scratchings etc., and always have a supply in the house and take them with me on camping trips.

So good that I have been known to have them with my morning fruit juice!

It's not just a British thing. The US has pork rinds too.

We deep fry slices of potato, so why is crunchy pig any different?

scratchings are ok if you follow the atkins diet, used to be very popular diet and we have both lost weight on this plan very quickly but is really only a quick fix diet for a few weeks but the results/loss can be amazing

I follow a less than 20g of carb a day diet and have done for over four years. Dr Atkins was a man that understood the science and marketed it to make money.

You'll find any diabetic, insulin dependent or non-insulin dependent who has a handle on their control, limits their daily carb intake in one way or another.

They HAVE to be eaten with a pint of bitter. It's like red wine and steak or white wine with fish. Not lager, cider or spirits...it has to be bitter.

I'll pass on the bitter. Pork scratchings, however, I've decided are allowed occasionally.

I've always refer to pork scratchings as itchy pig
