I love Chile & Lime Pork Rinds with French Onion dip!0

What is a good brand? I tried the most common brand I see here- Old Dutch Bac'n Puffs and they were not good. I tried breading some chicken with them, but that was revolting. Just trying to determine if the brand is not good, or I just don't like them.0

There is a brand around here called Baken-Ets that is really good. I've only had their plain pork rinds though.0

That's the same brand I tried, and the only one I've ever seen here (I'm in BC). They were totally gross.0 -

I saw this brand at Superstore the other night. Maybe I'll have to try that. In the meantime I've started making jerky for salty snacks. Just have to keep the bf from eating ALL of it. I'm in Alberta.0 -
When hubby and I watch football games we like to take our pork rinds and put Kerrygold butter on them. I used to do that with saltines and using pork rinds works just as well.1

I really don't like the baconettes brand from Lays (I think). In canada you find those most often at the grocery stores. But Loblaws carries the chicarone style ones sometimes if you have an "asian" section. I'm in Ottawa and we now have a T&T which is basically a big Asian Loblaws. That's where I (edit: used to) get my chicarones. They're much crunchier than the baconettes and taste much more like butter rather than pork fat. The Baconettes brand gives me insane heart burn. Not so with the others. There are several kinds though and often the ones at T&T have MSG. (I don't get those). And I find the garlic ones are really gross to me.
Now I get my chicarones at Walmart. They look like the same packaging as the ones at Loblaws but (at least at my Walmart) don't have MSG and they have a better price.
All of this is only helpful of course if you feel like trying a different brand.
As for eating, I'm not much help. I do the nacho thing and as I'm not much for cooking, will either dip them straight in butter and salt, or homemade mayo.0 -
If you like spicy try Louisiana hot sauce sriacha0

@RAC56 My husband eats saltines with butter. You are the only other person I have ever heard of that does that. I wonder if it's a regional thing? He grew up in in the Northwest part of the United States.0 -

When I was young, I also used to eat saltines with butter but I grew up in the Northeastern US.1 -
Same here. Pittsburgh, PA area. The only reason to eat soup was to have saltines piled with butter to eat with it. My MIL (from Iowa) ate saltines with ice cream.
It sort of goes back to that "reward/pleasure center" of the brain. Read The Hungry Brain, Stephan Guyenet. Sweet/Salty/Fatty in any combination.
This is how I feel about major food manufacturers and their Salted Caramel Ice Cream and Chocolate with Sea Salt. They've become rather blatant and I'm not going to support it any more...I digress...

I grew up in the St. Louis, MO area and I'm the only one I've ever known who ate saltines with butter. No one else in our family ate those. I loved eating that combo as a snack. I'm so happy to be able to do that with pork rinds now.

Yep, saltines and butter with soup or home made chili.
LOL, thanks for the video.

@swezeytba I am in Alabama and I put butter on saltines....it is so yummy. I have not thought about putting it on my pork rinds. I am going to have to try this.0 -
I guess it's not really any different than putting butter on toast, it's just something that never would have occurred to me...lol1
