Chicharrónes is Spanish for "Cracklings" (or "Pork Rinds").

I always called them pork rinds, I think it's just another one of those "regional things" All I know is I love 'em! 


Pam & I talked about this at the Fall gathering. Rudolph Foods (the largest producer of pork rinds in the U.S.) is located in Pam's home town of Lima, Ohio.  They have other facilities around the country including one in nearby Wapakoneta, Ohio (where Smokin Don & Sandman live).

We do have some folks here that will surely call everything Coke (as in "give me a Coke.  What kind?  Sprite.")    I am a "pop" guy though.

Pop for me too

It's pork rinds for me and also pop. Living here in Georgia I get some strange looks when I
order a pop.  Everyone has tried to correct me and tell me it is soda. I also refer at times to it
as coke, whether it be Mt Dew (Pepsi product) or anything else.

I always thought cracklin's (Southern), chicharrones (Mexican) and grattons (Cajun) were, seasoning aside, essentially the same thing - skin, fat and meat...

I've only had chicharrones in a few places, Tijuana, Ensenada, and Eastern Washington.  However, they have always been just like regular store-bought pork rinds except regarding size (large sheets of deep fried pork skin in the few places in Mexico and Eastern Washington I've tried them.  I've not yet seen them with meat.

You beat me to it, had a heck of a time adapting when we moved from Houston to Detroit in the late 70's, never could get the hang of going to the "pop store" that only sold pop.

To me pork rinds are the white looking fluffy ones and crackins are the hard dark brown little ones. That is about all I know of them except I like them both and I will have a soda with mine.

Here we have a lot of "mom & pop" stores. I've never seen them sell a mom.

Over here in Cali we call them chicharrones and I make them everyday and Smoke can back me up. lol

Chicharrones or Cracklins, Soda or pop, a lot of funny replies here! Thanks TH I knew they made pork rinds here in Wapak but never knew they were part of the largest co. After the soda fountains all closed up around here the stuff in the bottle was pop and I love cracklins and prefer beer over pop!  Don

Back in the early 80s, my father ran a construction job at dinner bell and brought home a box (and I mean a big box) of cracklins. Some were good, some were Real Good; non were bad.

When I was growing up my Granny called a Coca Cola a "dope". Of course she came up in the time when Coca Cola did still contain trace amounts of cocoa leaf extract (cocaine). I grew up calling all soft drinks a coke, now many people just call them a "soft drink".
