Pork Scratchings!!

Anyone recommend some decent ones?

Just had a bag of Morrison’s own, they where very nice, but they lack the half a pork chop thing.

Oh and if you have had a bag or two and then decide to throw up, cover your eyes and nose….. :eek:

well mr porky's are pretty good.(although a bit hairy at times, literally)

But the best ones are the ones i get in my local back home in a clear plastic bag dunno whether theyre local or what bet they rule

Black Country ones are the best.

Nothing like a bag of Pork Scratchings (or as they're known by us at work "fat deep fried in fat") with a decent pint.

How can anyone eat these!! They're vile.

Wizzfizz · 16 Apr 2006 at 00:07

Always have a dabble of these when i'm out. Usually resulting in me drinking more beer. I guess thats why bars stock up on them

Pork Scratchings are heaven in a packet.

Apart from the hairy ones :eek:

I recomend the mr Porky ones

Agreed. I think the salt and fat just runs off them in a horrible sicky moment when I put one into my gob

And then you get the hair and skin...

Personally, I'd rather just eat lard.

The fat content would about the same, and it would taste far nicer

Mr Porky for the win

swanseajack · 16 Apr 2006 at 00:21

Well I've tried the local stuff, they are ok, you get the odd lump of pork still attached, but most down here is now from Wolverapton <spelling> thery are half stale most of the time.

Best supermarket ones are morrisons.

How about ooverclockers start selling them

Never tried them, they are among my list of things to try, second only to black pudding.

agreed, the best ones are the ones in the clear bags that you get from the butcher

but surely someone somewhere must distribute or sell this type... nothing in the shops come close

Crazy southerners, if your going to eat crap at least eat some proper crap like Scottish people.

Deep fried mars bars (and any other chocolate bar you can think of)

Spar near me sells them like that , i used to like them but the hairs put me off now

i use to get them from the local butchers,i think most butchers sell them on the counter in clear bags.I find most of the ones you get at pubs ect are too salty,but you can get these ones that are puffed up corn with flavouring on them which i find are very nice

Flavoured corn is hardly a pork scratching!

Top Notch Pork Scratchings are the best, they are better than Morrisons. Large bits with plenty of fat left on. Fantastic. Asda stock them.

I am actually physically drooling reading this thread. I need to sort out my diet.
