Suggestions for Pork Rinds
Replies

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.
@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.
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

Grew up in Southeast Missouri and LOVED saltines slathered with butter!1

Grew up on the east coast of Canada and also love saltines with butter. Yum!1

Aaaah. Yes, thanks. Also, I approached the Great God Google... I think it may be a cross between Jacob's Cream Crackers and Jacob's Cheddars. "Way too yum to just have one...."
I used to make dumplings with the former, to go with my Jewish-heritage Chicken soup.
The latter, I could devour one pack at a sitting without blinking....
Those days are gone. I'm delighted to say!0 -
I crush up the pork rinds in the food processor and use them in place of breadcrumbs in meatloaf.2

I have a pork rind problem. I can't make a 3 ounce bag last more than a day and I wind up overeating them and still filling in the rest of my day on other stuff, even though I'm sated. I'm pretty sure I'd need a 12-step program. I just avoid them these days, mostly.0

We have Sniks here in NZ and I have just found them. They are delicious! I love potato chips so they are a great replacement and I find them sooooo filling. Mmmmmmm.1

I finally crushed up the last half of a small bag of pork rinds that I had hanging around for ages and added it to my Mediterranean burgers just to get rid of them. They were so old they may have been rancid lol. Anyway I couldn't stand them on their own and didn't want to wreck a yummy dip with them. They hid well in the spiced up patties so at least I did get some use out of them. I don't think I'll bother buying them again. If I want something dry, salty, and crispy I'll buy more toasted nori or bull kelp to eat straight.0
