Peterborough here. So great to see a UK forum, I canā€™t find some foods here that are available in the States. Pork Rinds especially!

(mags) #46

Welcome! :grinning: From what I understand our pork rinds (scratchings) are nicer than the American ones but are too fatty to grind up to use as a coating for stuff. There are some out there that might be OK but you have to watch in case they have crappy carbs added.

Yes this is the issue exactly. Iā€™ve found some called ā€œpork crunchā€ that look similar to those available in the US, but theyā€™re full of crap I donā€™t want to consume.

Do you have an Asian supermarket near you? Oddly I have found chiccarones at Wing Yip and See Woo. They are I think what in the US would be classed as pork rindsā€¦ may contain crap thoā€¦ not at home so canā€™t checkā€¦ or make you own with pork belly skin . Slow bake in oven then whack up heat for 10 mins to puff up.

I do, but theyā€™re regularly shut down by the councilā€™s Environmental Health Dept. so tend to stay clearā€¦ :neutral_face: If I find one that may be a safer bet, I shall investigate though, thanks :slight_smile:

You could look for something called Pork Crunch in Home Bargains. I have used that for crumbing chicken.

Also, check out Morrisons as they sell pork skin, quite a bit for a few quid and you can make your own

i make my own using the pork rinds, you just have to trim the fat before putting in the oven at low temp. Then fry them up.

Iā€™m a big bbq fanā€¦ so I have a butchers based in Hatfield. I try to avoid supermarkets for my meat

He can ship nationwide

Iā€™d be interested in a meat-up, not sure on the demographics, so it might need to pull in those in London / surrounding area etc

Good to hear your a bbq Jedi, over the next few weeks I plan to build a smoker and then go to costco to get some of their field aged beef, and for the next mouth or so Iā€™ll be smoking anything that stands still for to long. :face_with_monocle:

I have herd of these guys, do you know of them? Churchā€™s Butchers Of Epping

Good luck with the build! Itā€™s a drum smoker?

Not familiar with that butcher, have used this one in Theydon Bois

But switched to the Hatfield one as heā€™s better!
