Years ago I was reading the information on the back of a bag of spicy pork rinds when I came across the management bio snippet. It said that the management team had something like more than 35 years combined in the pork rind business. Not the food industry and not just the snack industry, but specifically in the world of pork rinds. Really? Is there really that little crossover between senior staff in the pork rind business and other snack foods? Like I said, I found it funny...
Today it’s Spicy Buffalo for me. Good stuff. I tend to like anything with that Buffalo wing/Frank’s Red Hot flavour.

By “in the pork rind business” they mean “sitting on the couch eating pork rinds”

Counter-remark: the best pork rind type product is a good packet of crushed red pepper “fat back” cracklings. Simple and the best.

Probably true. What’s the texture like? With my questionable teeth I need to avoid very hard foods. For example, a few years ago I broke a molar on a butter toffee almond. I still avoid the very hard pork rinds that tend to settle at the bottom of the bag...

Can’t beat a proper pork scratching.
Apparently quite different from what you get in the U.S.
Can’t beat a packet with a nice pint.

They *do* tend to be harder, because the fat back ones are easy to overcook a bit. That *is* a downside. I’ve had ones that were soft, though - can’t remember the brand. The ones I like are these:
Which, sadly, my local favorite (and most convenient) convenience store no longer carries.

There is a field guide to the various types:
Not a bad one in the bunch.

So a pig wanders into a buffalo strip club...

Have you tried the ones that come in a bag like popcorn and you heat up in the microwave? I had them a couple times and they were great, especially when warm.

I’ve never seen those. I’ll have to track them down as they sound delicious.

These are pricey, we can usually get them in dollar stores.

If you are state side the dollar general stores have them, family dollar too.
