Pork scratchings are a centuries-old popular snack made by frying the pork skin taken from the pig's shank (top of the pig's hind leg). Scratchings are cooked once, meaning they are harder and crunchier than their porky cousins. Pork scratchings don’t need much seasoning as they still hold a lot of the pork flavour, so generally only salt is added. Hardened pork snack traditionalists love pork scratching.
