I feel for ya. I'm an adventurous eater, but Southern US food is definitely top 5. I'm humble enough to say that proper Korean BBQ is superior to the southern US. If you combine Korean BBQ with an Alabama white sauce...I'm lucky because I'm Appalachian and get to travel. Try making some US biscuits and gravy. I notice people outside the south tend to bake them too long. You just want a golden tan with a soft middle. Biscuits are good with jelly, butter, honey, nut butter, etc. I bet a US biscuit could make Vegemite taste good.

Mexican style chicharrones don't usually undergo that second frying. That's very interesting cause they are totally different than traditional American pork rinds/cracklings". Usually a bit more chewy or inconsistent in texture. I've always wondered why that was, and this video seemed to answer my question. Appreciate you Stalecracker!

Look. I live in SE Louisiana but come from Arkansas. We render lard specifically. In Arkansas we take specific steps to render the fat for lard. So the meat is cut from the fat and more meat. The skin is more skin that fat so it is totally pork skins. He'll my grandma and my aunts used to make cracklin cornbread after a hog kill. Holy shit. The landed up cornbread with actual sweetcorn bits and a lot of meat with bell peppers, jalapeños and onions smothered with any kind of gravy and pan fried potatoes and pinto beans. Then a bonus. Fried corn on the cob. When you got full then for desert? Cracklin cornbread. Minus the gravy and sides. He'll without gravy it's so greasy good. One thing for sure. You would not have any constipation the next morning. But he'll my grandma could make the perfect hamburgers in a cast iron skillet. Her secret? Bacon grease from a coffee can always by her stove. BTW. She made somebody ass tortillas either flour or corn and flat bread.

Cracklings are one of my favorite food it's so sad that when you live in the suburb you can't really find them in a neighborhood market or anything because they only have the bag one. The best places I know to get them is from Mexican stores because they make them fresh and they're so good. I was raised by my mom who is Mexican and I enjoyed eating cracklings in many things including just with a tortilla with a little bit of hot sauce as a taco or putting some in beans and eating them and also cooking then in salsa. If you ever decide to make a another batch of cracklings add some citrus peel like lime oranges the flavor of the cracklin get that citrus smell and taste that it enhances any seasoning added to the cracklin. Save that Lard the flavor is so good
