My husband making pork rinds, as he says every year prior to this ceremony of glorifying calories "Every good southerner loves pork rinds" and he always says it in a US southern accent, and always remembers one of his friends from South Carolina, a man named Jim who was in operation OIF with him back in 2003.

He makes them using the Croatian recipe, that is where I am originally from.
What he loves the most is the little mini bits and pieces of rinds on the bottom of the can of lard.
The lard, no matter what some people may think is fantastic for deepfrying!
