    They are also known as chicarrons in Latin American markets or delis which may be your best bet in NYC. I would steer clear of Trader Joe's or Whole Foods. I do not think either of these stores carry them. If you are going to the suburbs at all, then Aldi's has their Clancy brand which is very inexpensive.

    Because of this post, I went out and bought some pork rinds. They totally fulfill my need for a crunchy snack. I think I will eat them with an artichoke dip for the Broncos game on Sunday. :)

    I like the Joseph's pitas and lavash bread too. Taste great and often use them with my homemade tuna salad for breakfast. Also like hummus or onion dip with my pork rinds.

    By the way, after reading all your posts, I just had to run out to the store to pick up some pork rinds (never knew they had ZERO carbs). OMG, they were awesome!!

    Where can I get these in the USA as over this weekend? I live in the UK and I can 100% say we don't have anything like this unless they are similar to pork scratchings....anyone know ? Tres excited to try these :)))

    Most grocery stores carry them....try Walmart. Also, most gas station will have them.

    me & pork rinds are NOT getting along well...

    I don't mind fresh cracklings right out the grease, but actual bagged pork rinds... ugh.

    I am going to try them as "nachos" that i seen on pinterest.

    I plan on using them with my artichoke dip from the fat fast book during football on sunday. yum yum

    Nill-I just pulled my fat fast book and did not find that recipe! I want some artichoke dip to dip my pork rinds in :sad:

    Please share!

    HI. Sorry...wrong book :/ It was from another of her books :)

    1 can artichoke hearts, 1 c mayo (its worth making your own for this), 1 C grated parmesan, 1 clove minced or 1 tsp bottled minced garlic. I toss in extra of this. paprika.

    chop the chokes.
    mix the chokes with the mayo, cheese and garlic,combining well
    put in a smallish oven proof dish, sprinkle with a little paprika (i used smoked paprika and it was pretty tasty)
    bake @ 325 for 45 mins.

    It gets brownish and bubbly...mmmmm

    I usually crush a couple of those pork rinds and sprinkle on top...WHAT!? yum.

    I also made sausage balls with 1blocks cr. cheese, 1 tube hot breakfast sausage, 1 C shredded cheddar, and a half bag of crushed pork rinds. mix in the kitchen aid. roll into balls and bake. You could also use a lb of ground turkey or chicken, or beef...or whatever.

    I started out loving pork rinds dipped in ranch dressing, but quickly got sick of them. but I love them as a breading for chicken & keep a mason jar full of them crushed with spices in my cupboard at all times. Also pork rind pancakes are yummy too.

    For anyone having trouble with Oopsie rolls, try adding a tiny bit of xanthan gum, keeps the meringue super stiff & makes for a thicker batter, I add flax meal & protein powder to mine. they are much better than the basic recipe, breadier and stays pretty fluffy when you take it out of the oven. My basic oopsies would flatten out as they cooled at times.

    @MistressPi

    Although the recipe looks yummy, there is way too much time and work to create that dish. As soon as I saw, separating eggs, using a mixer, whipping something that was a liquid into something "stiff", then folding things together... I'll leave that to people that are retired or work at home. I like easy recipes.

    Thanks for posting it...

    I had to google it to find what pork rinds are and why is everyone so excited. Hmmm, might be a bit too early for me.

    BUT your site looks amazing. I will visit often! :flowerforyou:
