Pork rinds/skins or cracklin has always been a staple in the south. Yum! Growing up in South Carolina, there is almost no part of a pig that goes wasted. Pigs feet, chitterlings aka. chitlins(intestines), pig snout, tails... it's all fair game here.

Well - at least nothing goes to waste that way.
Of course, who am I to judge - I like that Southern delicacy, boiled peanuts!
once you puff those prok rinds up they are virtually nothing, and NOT starch, not much of anythign else , except toppings... I was as shocked as you were, to hear other people than my dad eating them. he gets the kind you pop in the microwave now, not kiding.
