Stopped me dead in my tracks October 21, 2008
Behold the beauty that is fried pork skin. Saw these beautiful chicharron at a bodega at 25th and misson. Nothing against the nonovore crowd but how could you say no? Pork rinds and the such get a rather bad reputation in todays food culture but almost every culture that partakes of the pig has some tasty snack made of the skin, tail, ears, or and other fleshy facet of the pork. While high in fat and sodium there is something amazing about the salty, crispy, somtimes spicy crunch that is craved by all, even the most elitist foodie. So take a moment to drool over the near orgasmic crunch of the chicharron. The pork rind abides.
