There are few foods in this world to compare with the
pork
scratching. Crunchiness, fattiness, saltiness, and
baconiness all condensed into a palate-fellating morsel
of
porcine tooth-challenging goodness.
And yet...and yet...
The shape of the traditional pork scratching is, well, it
isn't. They seem to be produced by flaying a pig with a
lawnmower.
MaxCo Foods, therefore, is overwhelmingly proud to
launch
its new range of precision die-cut pork scratchings,
produced by lovingly die-stamping pigskin before deep-
frying all that goodness into it.
For toddlers, we have 8oz packets of pig-shaped Paddy
Pig
Pork Scratchingettes, and our 12oz snack-packs of
Alphabetti Pighetti.
For adults we have "Oy Veyrony!" Star-of-David bite-size
scratchings and, for the intellectuals amongst you, our
laser-embossed Pork Scrabbles (every pack contains a full
set of letters, plus a wipe-clean inflatable Scrabble
board).
In recognition of the dip-based market, we are also
about
to launch our pleasingly equilateral Boaritos. As a
bonus,
the stamping process for Boaritos also produces, as a by-
product, the raw material for our nostalgic Curly Wurley
homage sticks.
Finally, for that special occasion, may we recommend
our Piñata Pigatas? Available in a range of sizes from
Suckling to Hog, each is a complete pigshell just waiting
to be shattered and consumed.

Ah. You must be referring to chicharones. |
|
| |
You could always have the staff hand-trim them for you to uniform shapes - within established tolerance range, of course. |

Ah, but this leads to wastageness. |

Sorry Max - I quite like the idea, but making shapes out of compounds like Pasta or Chocolate or Potato crisps or even pig-skin is the line of least resistance re ideas. (I've done a few myself) |
|
| |
Now if there was a machine that somehow generated a silhouette portrait of the original pig only in pork scratching material, I'd like that even more. (bone not mine by the way) |
|
| |
I don't eat meat, so I wouldn't know. |

The juiciest fruit hangs lowest. |

There's more than one Roger you know. |

Nothing less that Penrose tile pork scratchings will
do. |
|
| |
Sierpinski carpet pork scratchings ? |
|
| |
In theory, a Sierpigski scratching could hold an
infinite amount of salt. |

Sold to the customer with the high blood pressure and the off-the-scale cholesterol reading ... |

There's a food called pork scratchings? Wow. |
|
| |
Yup, looked it up on line. I think they should be called pork blisters. |
|
| |
In the States they're called pork rinds or chicarones, and I
have just returned from the Deep South, where amongst
other things I reminded myself why I'm glad they don't sell
authentic pork rinds up here in the North. |
|
| |
God, I'd hate to see what an un-authentic pork rind looked like. |
|
| |
Well, those are the only kind they sell in Maine, which is
why I don't eat them. |
|
| |
We have an Americanian version of that which is pressed
and allowed to harden, called 'fatback'. |
|
| |
No, I'm serious, it really is called fatback. |
|
| |
Stop laughing, I'm telling the truth. |
|

As far as die-cut shapes are concerned, The Good Fairy
Jenny suggests a crash cart, complete with little pork rind
defibulator paddles. |
