What is crackling?
Someone asked if crackling is usually reserved for the chef? What is crack?
Answers:
Cracklings (or cracklins as we call them here in the Southern USA) are just little pieces of deep fried pork skin. They are really good when baked in cornbread. As for a "crack"--that is like asking "what is a grit?" Cheers and happy eatin'!
Pig skin fried
its that stuff you find in the corners of your eyes when you wake up in the morning
Pork rind is the cooked fat of a pig. This may be either eaten warm with a meal, or served cold as a snack. In both forms any fat attached to the skin at the time of frying is absorbed in the process.
Traditionaly in England especially ... when they cook roast pork on Sundays ... they cook it with the fat ... the fat goes really crunchy ... its gorgeous ... now go out and get yourself some good crackling!!!!!! hmmmmmm i want some now :(
Dime sized pieces of pork fat/skin fried til crunchy....Nothing's better than a big piece of cracklin cornbread crumbled up in a glass of buttermilk for a bedtime snack....Mmmm!!
Cracklin' is little pieces of fried pig fat with some of the skin left on. Some people refer to pork rinds as cracklins but it depends on where you are in the world.
Hey what chef/restaurant are you talking about? (If you dont mind)
It is the skin of a pork roast that has been slashed and salted so that it gets crunchy
