  1. Your pork skin is way to thin to use for crackling,it needs some fat to make good crackling.

      Hi Paul, I tend to agree with you. More fat = Better crackling.
      However, you seem to be under the mistaken impression that I (Hairy Bar Snacks) am Morrison’s (The Supermarket) and therefore seller of the rind you purchased.
      Just to be clear, Morrisons is a national chain of supermarkets, publicly listed on the London Stock Exchange, they have a turnover of approximately £400 million and serve approximately 11 million customers a week.
      Hairy Bar Snacks is a website about pork scratchings.
      All the best.
      🙂

  2. So true Hairy Bar Snacks. As it is, I love the “thin” Morrisons “Rind for Crackling” sold at a give-away price of £1.75p/Kg. So cheap!

    Also of course it makes the pork cracklings relative healthy. I love them, having had a heart attack 20 years ago, I’m on a strict diet of lean pork cracklings, red wine and pipe tobacco.

  3. Used to buy from Morrisons but they don’t stock it often or not at all like they used to, how do I get it? Can’t buy online

      I’m afraid that you may need to speak to Morrison’s! 🙂
      Why not ask them next time you are at the butcher’s counter.

  4. Can’t get pork rind at Morrisons any more or anywhere else it seems, some change in regs apparently.
    If you know someone who is selling it let me know , I can’t find any !

      Try a proper butcher. They are always very helpful.

  5. Hi,
    Done that, they say it has been discontinued !

    Our local “proper” butcher says he is not allowed to sell skin it has to go as class something or other waste. Which seems very wasteful to me !

  6. Hi,

    Done that, they say it is discontinued.
    Our local butcher says he is nt allowed to sell skin any more as it now has to go as class (something or other) waste.
    Seems very wasteful to me.
