Anyone living local to Reading I can recommend the butcher on Smelly Alley for his scratchings which are £2 for a big bag full of crackling yumminess.

While we are on the subject of pork scratchings, I ordered some sauces from Firefoods the other day and they sent me a complimentary pack of these bad boys

Nothing worse than getting one with hair on it. I know they are called scratchings, but they shouldn't actually scratch you. yuck

I see the odd hairy one as a label of authenticity (although I don't know what else they could be made of), I don't eat them though.

Has anyone tried these?

They are bit lighter than normal scratchings, sort of in-between scratchings and pork crunch. Nom nom

Don't just tease us, show one of the scratchings, not just the outside of the bag.

I had a bag a couple of weeks ago and came to the same conclusion as you really - no teeth breakers, no hairy chunks and none of the black soggy bits.

After cracking a molar I've banned myself from them too.

My best pork scratching experience was when I found a pork rind stall on holiday in Acapulco. I handed the bloke 5 US dollars and and went back to the hotel with a ridiculously huge bag of porky deliciousness. I then sat by the pool, drank beer and munched through the lot over the next two weeks.
