I get mine at Amazon.com. You can't get squat in these parts.

Hi,

Mexican and Spanish stores are very rare where I live (Western Canada). I do not recall ever seeing one but I think there are several in BC and one in Edmonton. We do have Asian stores in some areas and they carry pork rinds. I like the ones I can get at T 'n T in West Edmonton Mall.

We don't have mexican or spanish stores here.

I wouldn't say there are many of those in Canada, other than perhaps Ontario.

No Canada in general doesn't have a very big hispanic population so it's not likely you'll come accross many stores. I'm in Toronto and can't say i've ever seen one.

Here you basically can get them at the grocery and some convenience stores with the chips.

Where are you at? Walmart has them on the bottom shelf here. Two kinds the expensive ones and the cheap one...hmmm, I bet they come off the same pig!
Here they are by the chips. Also know as pork rinds, cracklins, fried skins, or
poppers. I asked the employee at first and he looked at me like I was from Mars,
ask for cracklins most everyone knows them by that name.

Re: I want pork rinds, darn it!

You need to check the list of ingredients as some brands add sugar to the flavoured ones I hear!

Re: I want pork rinds, darn it!

Careful about the labels, too - sometimes the math is way off!!! (try to figure actual non-protein or fat calories out of the total to get carbs; you'll see!!) (Tip off is sugar in ingredients, 0 carbs per serving alleged, after subtracting from total calories all the fat & protein, what's left may be over 2 grams carbs wirth of calories - I've seen it, almost fell for it; it's even posted on the web with wrong math!! Dangit!

Can't remember the brand it was so cheap! But it probably is not alone, anyway!

Hi,

Around here, everyone knows them as:

Piggy Puffs

That is what we always called them as kids.

I did find some at Zellers - Frito-Lay but they were the small bags and found at the checkout not in the aisle with the other salty snacks. They were fresh. Could not find any at Sobey's, Loeb's or Superstore in Ottawa.
