One advantage of being in the south, get are in every grocery store and gas station
I have never dipped them!
They are flavored, hot, Cajun, or BBQ
Have not had them in a bit0 -
Use the salt and pepper flavor to dip avocado, garlic, mayo dip. So good and my husband thinks he's getting a great!0

Try and check your ingredients though...some brands you find in the store will add MSG - especially the flavored ones... You should only see Pork, oil and salt (if you worry about that kind of stuff). If you like the spicy guys, try getting the plains and adding some tabasco. Delish.0

As an aside...I made a recipe a couple of weeks ago where you baked chix things with the skin on, and then deskinned them for a casserole. I took those skins and baked them again on a rack in the oven to crisp them up, turning them a couple of times and holy moly. They were to die for.0

Omg. I am sad to say I sometimes eat more pork rinds than veggies in a day.
They're great plain, with Ranch dressing on them or for a sweet snack, I put cinnamon and a bit of Splenda on them and shake the bag to mix. It's good- seriously.
I avoid flavored pork rinds, but use them- crushed- for croutons or breading!
I think LCHF wouldn't work for me if I couldn have my go-to snack.0 -
As croutons
Interesting idea!!
A new one to try.0 -
Finally found some. Old Dutch bacon puffs. Wow way better than I expected and obviously was needing the salt cause I really enjoyed licking it off, then crunching them.0

wasn't a fan of the ones I tried but am not giving up! going to North Carolina this summer and will stock up on whatever I can find

Here I find them with the Mexican/Spanish import foods.0

I just picked up a bag at Fred's. They are from a company in Bartlett TN. The flavored ones where a no go for me because of the added stuff. Mine just had salt added.0
-
I like these with my tuna salad for a no carb lunch. the satisfy my salt craving.0
-
I get the ones from Amazon that you "puff" yourself in the oven or microwave. They are brilliant. I dip them in sour cream mixed with melted butter and Franks Red Hot. yum yum0
-
Oh I just had the most amazing taste! I had the BBQ flavored pork rinds with cream cheese and pickles - YUM!0
-
Bbq flavored is my fav!!!0

Just read if low on sodium pigging out on a bag (I would never do that ) can keep the scales from dropping or to even shoot up due to added water retention until the sodium level drops back to our new "normal". 0

Never thought of dipping them or using tabasco though!!
Welcome to the group. This is a safe place with some with real experience. I have been at it for 8 months and health is improving.

I use them as my french fries and potato chips. Get a low carb burger from Hardee's with no ketchup or tomato and I'm in heaven!0

Pork rinds? My first thought was "ick" and my second was to go add them to my grocery list. lol. Who would have ever thought? My downfall is salty potato chips and I cannot stop at just a few, so they aren't welcome in my house anymore. But I wouldn't think I could eat too many pork rinds at one sitting because the protein will fill me up... ?
I can't wait to try them. I'll read the ingredients and be sure to get the ones with no weird ingredients like you all suggested.

Homemade cheese crisps sprinkled with a bit of popcorn seasoning after they are cooked can be a similar potato chip substitute...0 -

One of the reasons I love eating high-fat...
I can eat an entire family-sized bag of crisps no problem... I think if I tried to eat the equivalent in pork rinds I'd die.

Oh my gosh.
New discovery while I was at the local co-op grocery store:
http://baconsheir.com/
I just picked up a bag of habanero and one of rosemary. I usually have Daisy sour cream to dip my pork rinds into...
This stuff just...OMFG. I inhaled the bag of habanero pepper pork clouds. Didn't even make it to the fridge for the sour cream. And I don't even really like super spicy foods, either.
So good. The ingredients are so simple and clean. I can't believe the amazing taste and texture on these.
Ever get the roof of your mouth all cut up from chicharrones or potato chips? Not these. They are indeed like fluffy pork clouds. They remind me of Funyuns (because of the texture and the onion powder), but SPICY.
My lips burn with joy.

Praise the baby Jesus these exist. I haven't tried pork rinds in years because I didn't like them, but being that I'm counting carbs I thought I'd give em another go. Soooo good. I have a regular and bbq flavor, and like the bbq better. I can eat stuff out of a bag again, yay!0

So I mentioned these to my husband and he brought home a bag from wherever he was doing errands today. His are lime and chili flavored, and they do have msg and other ingredients in them. When I buy some for myself I'll read the label better, but it was sweet of my husband to bring them home. And, they're not bad. lol.
But the interesting thing is that the serving size listed on the bag is 1 ounce, which is 1/3 of the package. So I weighed out one ounce. Started eating. And put more than half an ounce back. Not because I didn't like them but simply because I couldn't eat any more. This is excellent because now I can have salty and crunchy and not eat the entire huge bag!
Thanks so much for this tip!!

So frustrated that I can't find these in Ontario Canada. I love sour cream and would love to dip these for a treat.
I have checked many stores without any luck.0 -
The Pork Clouds I linked in my last post says they ship to Canada.
Apart from that, try checking for an ethnic market in your area perhaps that carries Mexican foods.

@lovayou, I am in Manitoba and I can get Old Dutch Bacon Puffs at a few stores, but prefer the Sunasia brand of chiccarones I get at Bulk Barn. Superstore has some in the ethnic section, but they all have MSG and some have wheat in them, so I don't buy those. I am also lucky to know a couple of people at work from the Phillipines who make homemade ones with just salt and they give them to me.0
