In spite of being one of the tastiests appetizers which match perfect with a glass of ice-cold beer, pork cracklings are not a type of food poets dedicate poems to.
Most of the women I know think that eating pork
skin no matter how prepared, is disgusting. But I love to eat most of the
things declinded by 'sophisticated people' - I prepare myself and order in
restaurants where offered such things like crispy
chicken cracklings (you can not imagine how crunchy they are), trippa
alla fiorentina, pacha, the
typical Bulgarian Shkembe chorba, pig
trotter's soup...But let's go back to the pork cracklings. They are crunchy and dry on top and melting
soft inside. And something
also important - they do not need much time to be prepared. My husband loves them and today I make them for him - he has a nameday. Today is Saint Dimitrius day - one of the most important Orthodox saints who is celebrated every year on October 26. Happy nameday, Dimiter! Wish you all the best!
