I made an impulse purchase at an Aldi yesterday.

Nice to see the major food groups represented with a special shout out for the 46% fat.

Not nearly as fatty, but not exactly healthy, either...

They look the same despite the buffalo in the name!

I wouldn’t be mad keen to try them again.

I thought scratchings were closer to cracklins, less fluffy and with a layer of fat attached. Are food terms in Canada closer to England or America?

“Once open, consume immediately”. Always follow instructions.

I know nothing of Canadian food preferences I’m afraid.

Nought better on, well, any day. A pint of ale in hand, a packet of pork scratchings and a pub dog.

Hmm, I must have confused you with someone else. I thought that you were up in the Maritimes, but I guess not...

I’m not sure that I want to know what you need the pub dog for.

I was in Canada once if that’s any use! I recall being surprised how American everything was in Québec, with fried breakfasts, filter coffee and so on. Also, the Québecois speak American French which sounds very odd.

Lol. You know what I mean. Every pub is better for having a friendly lazy dog that comes round every now and then for a little attention and a crisp or two.

My uncle had a pub and every Saturday a guy would come in with his lab, get a pint of bitter and a packet of ready salted Seabrooks crinkle cut crisps, he also sat in the same seat and there was a dog bowl behind the bar. He’d pour a little of the bitter into the bowl, the dog would lap it up and lay down. When the guy opened his packet of crisps it was two for him, one for the dog, two for him, one for the dog, and so on. He’d tell his wife he was out walking the dog, but she knew he was at the pub as she’d phone from time to time to see if he was still there or on his way home. He never knew this.

But a dog just adds atmosphere to a pub when your trying to relax.

We call it just French to denote either English or French language but if we were to think of the Quebec French dialect differentiations, us anglophones would call it Québécois. I think Quebec French speakers have more regionalized names as well, to denote local dialects.

I wish I would take the time to learn to be more conversational with it...I just know enough to read a cereal box or ask directions etc.

My Aldi stocks the “Clancy’s” brand of pork skins that I’ve grown tired of. I would buy the hot ones and the flavor is just hot. I’ve started getting these when I find them as they are more flavorful , though Aldi does have them occasionally.

A little meltier  than I’d like but still good.

We have crackling and scratching in the U.K. though crackling is usually what we call the hard crispy skin and fat off a roast pork joint, scratching is what we call the deep fried fat pork fat that's been seasoned, often enjoyed in a pub or bar. 

This is what we'll show whenever you publish anything on Kinja: > Cé hé sin 06/14/2020 at 20:29

My employer unexpectedly s ent me a big tin of cookies from a bakery near headquarters in North Carolina to celebrate the 5 year anniversary of the American subsidiary, and they've only got a 5 day shelf life, so duty calls.

I’ve been on a pork rind bender myself. I’ll pick up a few bags every opportunity. The lack of carbs is great for my diet right meow
