    When fasting appeals to you as much as eating does.

    LOL. I'm not into fasting for myself but yes. I can see your point and chuckled with this one. :)

    Consuming a full stick of butter by yourself in one day doesn't seem odd.

    That greasy slick around your lips gives you away, @cstehansen, :p .

    Man. I'm still trying to psych myself up to fry them in butter, coat with caramel and eat as cereal. I don't know if I'll ever get there. If only I could forget they are pork skin! #mentalblock

    Those aren't skin though; those are just fat.

    Are they? That's actually really helpful. It's the skin thot that freaks me out!

    Bummer. It's skin minus the fat. https://baconsheir.com/pages/how-to-make-pork-rinds

    Never occurred to me someone would use anything but lard for making chicharrones.

    That is how my local fav Mexican restaurant makes them. But I do love the ones in a bag as well. Will have to see if any seed oil is listed on my bags.

    I'm going to need to go to the local carnceria and take a photo of the chicharrones con carne. Goddamn, they're delicious!

    Being within a couple hundred km of the Mexican border I have ready access to all the lovely pork belly I could ever desire (and a couple of Filipino places nearby if I want a delicious variant), but there's something to be said for DIY. I'll need to find a friend with a gas range, I think. Thanks, Alex.

    (I hope "Alex" is okay with you. We seem to be getting on a nickname basis.)
