Q: Anybody know a chinese brand of pork rinds?
I'm doing a no carb diet and order pork rinds on taobao, all imported supposedly, is there a Chinese equivalent.
I never see any in the supermarket and the wife is pissed about my diet and my refusing to eat rice and her cooking so she want research this for me.
Pork Rinds seem to be the only snack other than almonds that I can eat.
I can't have the beer with the pork rinds but at least I can enjoy something and the salt helps with the quick weight loss with so much protein.
No, but a guy I knew had a thing for pork rinds and couldn't find anything approaching what he was looking for in China so he spent a bit of time on google and learned to make his own. I tried some, they were awesome and when you make them yourself you know there's no gutter oil, dog testacles, fake pork, sugar where there should be salt, hepatitis, offal or whatever else in them.
Twenty minutes on youtube ought to do it I reckon.

It is a common dish. The chinese name for it is pork skin, 猪肉皮, first two characters is pork, last character is skin, pronounced as zhu-ruo-peeee. Most people just use the first and last character, so zhu (sounds like ju of judo) peee. Or, show the folks in the market this webpage, in case you don't get a signal there, save the page off-line, or download the photo onto your mobile first.
Another webpage teaching how to cook pork rind, in chinese unfortunately, but the name is on the top, and there are plenty of photos on it. I am pretty sure the people knows what you want if you show them this webpage. It is more common in southern china, but shouldn't be difficult to find in the north.

They don't normally have pork rind in supermarkets, you find them in local food markets, the ones without air cond.,and with wet floors.

Your wife may change her mind when you show her these articles, both pointing out the rich collagen content of pork rinds. One is in english and the other in chinese. Most girls' eyes brighten up when they hear the word collagen. I am told they run out fast so it is better to go in the morning.

I've never seen them sold in stores in China. I get pork rinds whenever I go to the Philippines as it is sold in most stores. There is a local variety in Cebu called chicharon. They are the perfect snack while drinking cold San Miguels.

San Miguel dark is great, in my youth, it was Red Horse, but balute was my food of choice
Stiggs:
Red Horse is my go to beer in the Philippines. I never tried pork rinds there though, will have to look out for them next time.
Quinn68:
Yeah, San Mig dark (cerveza Negra) is my go to beer there. A few bars in Manila and Cebu now sell local craft beers, but they are overpriced by Philippines standards (one bar was charging 120 pesos a bottle). Most of the expats/tourists there don't like balut, but I get a couple and just put a lot of salt and vinegar on them. A great source of cheap protein (and an aphrodisiac according the the locals).
ambivalentmace:
In the states, I would cross the border to Mexico and get the Negro Modelo, similar taste to the San Miguel dark, goes good with the fatty Turkey tail dish.
I do!

I get those on taobao but they are all imported 12 2oz bags for 400 rmb is a little excessive. I just have to stick to almonds and avocados but the same thing gets boring.

Why you shouldn't eat dog. Not even once.
People in Southeast Asia (YOU!) eat dogs, so why don't we eat bisque of schnauzer and terrier lasagna? People in India don't eat cows, but that's just religious mumbo jumbo. Why do we euthanize dogs when we could be making 7-11 taquitos from them? I can't figure it out. This is pretty much the whole of John D. Sutter's "argument for eating dog," which has already received 5,000 comments and been liked on Facebook 18,000 times.

I went to a restaurant once here in China that put cruelty to a whole new level.
They take a dog and starve it for 3 days and then let it pig out on rice till its about to bust, then they kill the dog and eat the rice that was inside the dogs stomach.
I did not partake of the food, but I did want a gun that day.

I ate dog once in Jixian, Hebei. I didn't know what am chewing on ('cause of low English level of my hosts ... ), but it tastes similar to venison, i.e. a bit chewy.
I'll go for 2 more pints with a bit OT here:
VINCENT: 'You want some bacon?'
JULES: 'No, man, I don't eat pork.'
VINCENT: 'Are you Jewish ?'
JULES: 'No, I ain't Jewish, i just don't dig on swine, that's all.'
VINCENT: 'Why not?'
JULES: 'Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.'
VINCENT: 'But bacon tastes good, pork chops taste good...'
JULES: 'Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, But I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherf**kers.
Pigs sleep and root in sh*t, that's a filthy animal.
I don't eat nothin' that ain't got sense enough to disregard its own feces.'
VINCENT: 'How about a dog? A dog eats its own feces'
JULES: 'I don't eat dog either'
VINCENT: 'Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?'
JULES: 'I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy, but it's definately dirty.
But, dogs got personality, personality goes a long way.'
VINCENT: 'So by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filty animal. Is that true?'
JULES: 'We' have to be talkin' 'bout one charmin' motherf**kin' pig.
I mean he'd have to be ten times more charmin' than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm sayin'?'

How much is a lobster? What does a lobster eat?
Lobsters eat the waste on the bottom of the ocean from every fish taking a dump.
So it's appropriate for the rich elite to eat lobster since they are full of shit anyway. KARMA
If pork rinds are the same is crackling you can make it quite easily yourself, over the gas oven in your kitchen.
African swine fever, I thought this started in China, a new strand mutated in Africa and came back to China, the pigs miss the polluted water here I suppose.
