@fidgety @leafnoodle pork rinds... huh. I don't think I've ever actually had those. well, now I have a good reason to go looking! XD there's a simple recipe in my paleo kid's cookbook, I suspect I can use that and add the pork rinds. tomorrow I'll be going to stores to look for stuff, so I will keep an eye open for them! thanks for the tip! :)

@green @leafnoodle Oh, Paleo! I was on keto, so that's where the recipe was from.

Also, I highly suggest substituting ground pork rinds for breadcrumbs when making burgers. It adds a subtle, smokey taste.

@fidgety @leafnoodle ooooh... I will try that. seems like pork rinds are a go-to substitute for breadcrumbs generally. I'll have to experiment with this! :D

What part of the pig is the rind?

@DialMforMara @green my sarcasm detector is failing, but if that was serious: it's fried pork skin. turns all airy and crispy, they sell bags of 'em with potato chips and other junk food.

Yes and no to sarcasm. Yes in the phrasing, no in that I was raised in a kosher household and don't entirely understand pork culture.

I just woke up, so that might not make sense.

@DialMforMara I'm not 100% sure. The skin, maybe? Dried and fried to a crisp?

Personally, I find them disgusting to eat on their own. But I can't deny that, when ground into something resembling breadcrumbs, they're great for cooking.
