Pork!

[luckykaa]

Decided to buy some pork last weekend. So far I've had roast pork, Leftover pork and chips, and a pork stir fry. This leaves me with about one meal's worth of pork leftover. And on the subject of pork - crackling. I had a theory that if I got the skin nice and dry it would crisp up nicely. So I Dried it with paper towels and then rubbed it with some salt, then rubbed as much of the salt off as I could. It did indeed come out delightfully crispy. Also a bit salty though. Will have to try again.

nom nom! (Must find some happy pork!)

I think whilst these are indeed good tricks for crackling some joints crackle better than others. I remember lots of crackling as a child then mum complaining she couldn't get good crackling anymore & now it seems to be coming back. I have no idea why unless it's to do with fat content or something?

Did anyone else find this?

I remember having crackling as child, that it was yummy and it stopped at some point but I don't know why.
Maybe there some sort of scare or health concern back then?
