Mmmmmmmmmmmm, Homer would be proud of you, Bazza.

Pork rinds, Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.


To cook it....... score it (if it isn't already done) rub it with a little
oil (it makes the spices stick) then hit it with some cracked pepper and
Maldon Sea Salt, or whatever salt you use.

Make sure to get the seasonings into the cuts.

Put on a rack over a pan with some water in, and roast in a hot oven (skin
side up) till crackly.


Otherwise stick it in one of these........
