This video has potentially saved me $1000’s of Australian dollars. I usually buy about 1kg of scratchings for about $130. I love the stuff 😊 Thanks for the video. Your soothing English accent and the sound of the pork frying away in the background had me smiling from start to end. 1kg of pig skin has just gone on the shopping list 😊 Might even get an English ale to celebrate 🥳 Thank you 🙏

Legit, no joke, that crunch is heavenly. Pork scratchings must be so nice when they're freshly made and a little warm.

Love them the bring back memories. We used to get em from a local shop in Scunthorpe when we where teenagers, we used to say they where fresh from the abattoir, some of them where huge and curly we used to call those ones the tails, some where hairy we didn't care they where delicious.

I’m from Sunny Scunny; what shop and when? I grew up in the Westcliff and Bottesford areas in the 80’s.

Very nice. The same as your other Aussie subscriber, I spend a fortune every shop, even trying to find lower price products. This is going to save me a lot of money.

😊 I can smell these through the screen 😊 Of all your videos this the only one I actually know how to and make often. Grew up on a farm, my Dad had me stirring the pan at a young age for our favorite snack. Made me smile. Same exact method.

Growing up we always had a bag of pork rinds in the house. While visiting the Philippines I had a homemade version that still had a layer of fat on them and it was the best thing ever. I thought it was just a Filipino thing! Neat to see that other cultures have also discovered the best snack ever invented.

When I was a kid, every now and then my Grand Dad would render down a huge cauldron of lard. All the little bits left over at the bottom we called 'cracklins'...they were delicious :) These look very good...similar to the Mexican chicharrónes.

Fantastic! Thanks for this easy and simple way of making pork scratchings! I unfortunately burnt the first batch a bit, but will lower the heat in the future and I am sure that it will work perfectly! Amazing flavour and so simple to make.... ❤😊

Man I'd love to make these but it'd be a bridge too far healthwise and the wife would lose it. Never seen them made, was great to watch them, was about as close as I can get. Used to be able to buy pork skin at Morrisons and always picked some up when we had a pork shoulder for extra crackling
