Fresh Cracklin's & Pork Rinds

[Gnarlytoes]

A friend of mine killed a couple of hogs this morning. I swung by and helped a bit after physical therapy. Came home with a few lbs of sausage and a slab of back fat. Rendered about 5 pints of lard with the side benefit of fresh cracklin's and pork rinds. Momma says I stunk up the house. Smells delicious to me.

Looks absolutely delicious to  me. These youngins don’t know what they’re missing.

Mmmmmm

Well, f.....!

I put them in a couple of zip-loc bags, but forgot to put them in fridge before I went to bed. Woke up this am to find two ripped open empty bags on the kitchen floor. Our two GSDs got a treat last night. 

At least I still have the lard to make biscuits.

There is/was a BBQ joint in Sylacauga AL that made their own pork rinds to order. Man those were good eating.

I’ve never had them fresh but I’m sure they’re pretty fantastic.

As a kid there was a slaughter house on the edge of town, not a big operation just a place farmers and hunters could bring animals to be processed. They always had fresh pork rinds that they made to share, when we stopped in to watch.

Neither would admit it, but both got that guilty look and slunk back into the living room when I walked in the kitchen and saw it.

Mine starts looking sheepish and growling when we ask him about something he’s guilty of. Having a GSD is just like raising a toddler.

Man I miss cracklins.  I mean REALLY GOOD cracklins like yours.  As a kid we killed hogs every November and put up all the meat.  My grandfather would make three kinds of sausage: mild, hot, and the last was so hot it had more pepper than meat!  My "Important job" was to crank the handle on the meat grinder!
