Pork crackling ... yes, I like them very much. FFS! Don't they know how to make it properly? Bought a bag of it from the local delicatessen counter for £2.30 ...
When I was in Thailand the pork crackling I ate was so good I thought I could get some here ...
Guess what ... it will now cost me at least £800 - £1.2K depending on diagnosis. The bloody thing is so hard it cracked/split/fractured my one of my tooth. Might need a crown for the damage done ... dammit!
I have already arranged for an urgent dental appointment to see if my tooth can be saved. Dammit! Hurts like hell now.
Damn! Damn! Damn! Money that I don't have and money that I can put to good use.
Bloody pork crackling.
😡
Scratchings or crackle?
you should probably give up eating proper food if your teeth aren't up to it 😈

I had a dream last night that my tooth was split into half so it dropped off it leaving a big gap in my mouth ... 😥
You paid £2.30 for a bag of scratching's they saw you coming 😆
Those are definitely scratchings. Usually made in Tipton and fried 'ard as steel...

It's a big bag of around 300g to 400g not your 90g supermarket light weight you know. Supermarket sell them for around £1 for 70g - 90g depending on brand.
They are proper pork fat ... very good and tasty. 🙁

The one I ate in Thailand I think was pork crunch (judging from the difference in regional cooking) with the hardness of quavers I kid you not. They were soooo tasty ... hhhhmmm ... it was so niceee. It's like eating the forgotten food. I know my grandma could cook them nicely but the one I ate in Thailand was out of this world. Pork fat rules!

I've never heard of pork crunch. Are you saying it has the heavenly piggy taste of scratchings without the ensuing need for emergency dentistry?
*drools*

If this incident happened after that dream then you only have yourself to blame.
Also, if true, then you appear to have the same ability as DezB. A minor super power or some such...

It was after I noticed my tooth has damaged that I started to dream about it last night. This is because yesterday night I realised that not only I may loose a tooth I may also incur unnecessary cost all due to craving for pork fat ... arrghh ...
If it was before I would have avoided it ...

I broke a tooth in half on a pork scratching over a decade ago. I loved the bloody things but not been able to face them since.
Given the cost and the fact I was skint at the time, I just had the dentist sedate me and rip the tooth out.

Pork Crackling!
It's Pig Lugs or Pork Scratchings.
Must have been a southerner.
Those pork crunches are not anything that resembles scratchings.
