Hi everyone. I have been looking for some pork cracklins for a long time. I was talking to the butcher in a small store and mentioned them. He got some in. They cost two ninety nine a pound. I got some and made a pan of cornbread. Oh was it good. Got to cook some beans now. Have a good evening. Archie |

Real food! Daddy used to cook out cracklins when we had a hog killing. Always skinned ours but most folks now leave the skin on which I don't care for. Cracklings cooked out slow in a cast iron pot over a small hickory fire takes skill and patience, sort of like making sorghum syrup but is one of the finer foods on earth. A good pot of beans, a thin greasy cake of Southern crackling cornbread made right in an iron skillet, fried taters with wild onions with some real butter and sorghum syrup poured over it and washed down with some ice cold fresh buttermilk is as good as it gets! |

| Help me out here. I only remember my dad keeping an old footlocker of cracklins to feed to the coon dogs. Didn't know they were edible. Gene |

| I swear Archie now you've envoked memories of supper at home and mom's beans and cracklin bread. Her bread was a bit on the greasy side but it was finger licking good. Enjoy your meal and I'll just be envious.....gfp |
