I just found out today that a client I have been helping on a couple of projects is in the pork business. From their website:
This family owned and operated company was started in 1976 and has been in the Atlanta area continuously. We are a niche manufacturer of kettle cooked pork skins. We make a variety of washpot, bacon rind, cracklin, and chicharron pork snacks.
I am now in negotiations to trade a survey for a lifetime supply of pork skins.
Allahu Akbar!
When I was 7 years old and lived in Center, Texas, my step-dad was a car dealer and we were traveling home from his office in his new car. He said "Here boy, try one of these." and handed me a fried pork skin. I threw-up on the front seat of his new car.
Still can't eat them to this day, nor do I understand how anyone can. Those things are nasty.
SNOOP, SNOOP, Stop, don't do it!
How old are you?
How long do you expect to live?
How long do you expect to live with an unlimited supply of pork skins?
At least do the math.

LOL...I can picture a donation from Snoop to BeerLeg...and all the BeerLeg "winner" packages from Angel containing Pork Skins from GA...

I've done the math. I am 36 and in good health. I figure I can squeeze at least 1.5 years out of this body if I eat nothing but pork skin 3 meals a day before my heart explodes like an over inflated tire. I equate it to the guys who try to climb Mt Everest. It may kill me, but for the betterment of mankind I still have to try.
Seriously though, if I can snag a couple of bags I would be happy. I know y'all are jealous 😛
I agree with the beerlegger above in suggesting pork skins ain’t good for you. As an alternative to jeopardizing your health, when the pork skin negotiations are complete, simply have the pork skin people substitute my address (emailed to you) for yours and this way all pork skin boxes will be shipped directly to me. You save your health all the while donating an endless supply of pork skins to my non-profit organization called “Methane Corp, LLC, LTD.”.
Methane Corp, LLC, LTD. studies human gaseous expulsions. On average, a person produces about half a liter of fart gas per day, distributed over an average of about fourteen daily farts. Whereas it may be difficult for you to determine your daily flatus volume, you can certainly keep track of your daily numerical fart count. There are charts available for volume approximations. You might try this as a science fair project. In any event, with your generous donation we will explore the results of persons producing ONE liter or more per day via the introduction of pork skins to their diet.
Thank you in advance for your generous donation.
I'll run the rod for a bag of those BBQ pork skins!
(For 5 minutes :-))
Gimme a bag of spicey pork rinds and a twelve pack of beer and I am in heaven!
Said as I sit down to a fine meal including eggs..........I ain't eatin' nuttin' dat's wallered 'roun' sum dern mud hole fer hours on en'. Dem skins cain't be santerry/saintairy/sannateary/ah shucks, clean.
Only if they throw in Louisiana Hot Sauce to dash on the skins 😉
:good:
Those will have to take a distant second place to what is available at "Best Stop" in Louisiana.
Legislated the #1 in the world by acclimation.
Georgia pork rinds are nevertheless worth the occasional heart attack ...

not too many years ago, a LA survey contractor with the COE would show up at the survey branch office with brown bags of fresh LA cracklins to 'share' as treats with the COE staff. They were always very appreciative of the unexpected snack. Then one day someone had a fatal coronary and he was told not to bring any more cracklins to the office in the future.
yeah...but do they have positive proof that the pork skins caused the fatal coronary?
Sounds like Federal Govenment over reacting to me....reaching out to crush the little pork skin producer and legislate what we can and cannot eat!
