After having a few beers with my pals this afternoon, I stopped at a local market on the way home to get some pork scratchings / pig skin. One bag for me to enjoy with my beer whilst listening to music and the other for SWMBO + mam-in-law + sister-in-law as a side dish for the somtam. Everyone happy. 

 

The wife makes her own, they are a thousand times (agreed, they are good already)  better when they are still hot from the pan. 
 

Can you still buy pork scratchings in the UK? 
 

I was telling one of my students about eating brawn sandwich as a kid, I think it was when things were tight. I don’t think you can buy jellied pig brain any longer. 

I wouldn't be willing to eat dogs testicles , that would be an acquired taste

My missus makes them as well. As for buying them in the UK - I don't know. Never been to Blighty since May 2010.

They eat cows placenta around our way.
