An effervescent taste sensation.

When I traveled to North Mississippi for Thanksgiving, I found these in a gas station near a small town called Enterprise. I’ve got to admit, I didn’t try them right away… I’ve always been a little hesitant about pork rinds but a few weeks ago, I went to dinner at a new place in New Orleans that serves pimento cheese dip with pork cracklins… and um… that was amazing. So I hung onto my bag of pickle flavored pork rinds and thought I’d try them out with friends at a gathering to watch the Saints game.

They were a HUGE hit amongst us pork rind eaters. One friend deemed them “effervescent”. If you can find these in your area (Golden Flake is a highly regarded Southern brand that has been making pickle flavored potato chips for as long as I can remember) I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend them. I’ll be stocking up on these the next time I go home and including them in my holiday gift giving!
