    My kids used to buy it.

    Must be the most saturated fat sodden food in the world.

    Variation on Pork scratchings/Crackling.

    I can eat most things but this was something I tried but could never eat again , hardened steel teeth with hydraulic assistance is required to successfully munch it . My attempts at pronouncing chicharon boola klak klak never failed to have my Philippine friends rolling about laughing .

    Sometimes you can find an odd tooth in it.

    Reminds me of stuff I used to sell in my pet shop as dog treats.

    I just found out from a Cuban colleague that it is also known as Chicharon in Cuba. Must be a Spanish name.

    Ah! Great with a San Mig (or 6) I think the word is 'pulutan' = food served to accompany beer. Also (too) fond of fried chicken skin (tsitsarong manok, IIRC) and other equally unhealthy delicacies nom nom nom
