Popular as a bar snack in pubs across the UK, Pork Scratchings are salted, slow roasted pieces of pig skin. While this may not sound like a particularly appetising snack, rest assured that the finished result is incredibly moreish, and goes almost perfectly with a cold beer.
Over the past few weeks, we have been perfecting our recipe here at Ginkgo, and are pleased to announce that after a bit of experimenting we have finally crack(l)ed it! In the US they are known as Pork Crackling, Australia and New Zealand as Pork Crackle, France as Grattons and in the Netherlands as Knabbelspek however here at Ginkgo, thanks to my stubborn Britishness, we will be referring to them by their British name of Pork Scratchings. Be sure to try a bowl for 5 RMB next time you are in the bar.
P.S. Not suitable for vegetarians, health nuts, cardiac patients, gluttons and the squeamish.
