Thanks darlin'
Can't think of anything right now to be honest.
Unless she can fit me in her luggage so I can visit you... and 'Spode and Bruce

But I can think of a couple of things she can bring back if that's possible? Legal, cheap and shouldn't take up too much room? Of course I will pay UK postage to send to me - just much cheaper than postage from the US.

Beef jerky, Aunt Jemima Corn Bread and some Alli (the OTC version of Orlistat)
Let me know, I won't be offended if it's a bother or just not possible..

Mmmmmmmmm. Pork rinds. You gotta try the salt and vinager ones. The plain ones are... well, plain.

Double-Mmmmmmmmmmm. I just bought a can today. Already have Triscuts and cream cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese.

Then there's a can of Libby's corned beef hash. Fried up extra crispy on the bottom topped off with steaming hot beef gravy and about a quarter cup of Tabasco. And a Guiness draft in a bottle.

Dominicks used to carry the best pork-rinds. It was a large bag and all the pieces were fluffy. None of these unchewable pieces.

Of course they stopped carrying them.

I have Triscuits and cream cheese, I wish I'd bought oysters when I was at the store yesterday!

You reminded me, another sometimes food, not super-unhealthy but nothing I'd want to eat more than every other month or so, is corned beef brisket slow-cooked with cabbage, carrots and potatoes. LOVE that stuff!

OK...no offense, but: I can't freaking believe people eat pork rinds. Um, ewwwwwww.

My mom would get what they called "cracklins" from the butcher shop and I could not believe people ate that crap.

DanaC · 03-06-2009, 06:56 PM

Oh I love Pork rinds. Sometimes called Cracklin. Sometimes called 'Pork Bits' ewww.

HungLikeJesus · 03-06-2009, 07:01 PM

Is that the same as pig snacks?

Shawnee123 · 03-06-2009, 07:02 PM

Think pig-based cheetos.

Trilby · 03-06-2009, 07:10 PM

Not scrapple, though; dear god, not that!

Beestie · 03-06-2009, 07:35 PM

I spent a couple years in Philly and was baffled at the popularity of scrapple. I mean, I don't really mind consuming the less popular animal parts I just don't want to be able to actually recognize them as I'm eating them.

I always thought they should grind it up a little more but maybe that's the whole point, I dunno.

jinx · 03-06-2009, 08:00 PM

Scrapple smells like death. I have no idea what it tastes like... I'd rather eat fried pig skin. Bleh.
Let's go back to baked potatoes and mac & cheese...

BrianR · 03-06-2009, 11:10 PM

I fed my beloved Scrapple when we were in Philly last summer. She was ambivalent about it. It's not something she would import to eat but if it happens to be on the plate...

I think you have to have eaten them before you knew what they were.

Actually, it's a good thing from the "don't waste anything" point of view.

Sundae · 03-09-2009, 09:27 AM

Monster - is any of this like Pork Scratchings?

Pie · 03-09-2009, 09:53 AM

Yep. I've had Pork Scratchings at a pub in Bournemouth, and it's the same thing.
