Do you eat pork, and do you like crackling?

Enjoy pork, & LOVE crackling!
But don't eat it that often.

Before I stopped eating red meat most of the time, I LOVED crackling.
I didnt often cook pork at home however I quite liked it.

I would always ask for crackling when I was eating pork out but I no longer eat either of them. I occasionally have red meat (apart from bacon!!!) however have not had crackling in many years now.

No, and no. It's not a health thing for me (well, come to think of it I suppose it's that too, but that's not the primary reason), I just don't think we should kill pigs and eat them.

I would probably eat pork if my very life depended on it. A diserted island scenario, otherwise, I won't touch it.

I don't like pork or crackling.

I love roast pork (only roasted). I might like a lord loin chop roasted but actually, I like all roasted meat pork, beef, veal and of course Lamb. But with regard to pork being roasted……you can have the meat and I'll eat the crackling and I do mean all of the crackling.

Who eat that fat? I really do not like the smell of pork cooking so we eat very little of it. I will make bacon a couple of times a year, pork chops about the same, spare ribs maybe two a year, and a roast of pork once in five years, and I trough out all fat from the roast.

I am allergic to pork,which is rather sad,as despite not liking the actual meat so much, I LOVE crackling!!! Even though I am now aware of my allergy,pork was never, before finding out,a favourite meat for me.I am more of a roast lamb person. Mind you,I don't eat a great deal of meat at all really. I would enjoy fresh fish over red meat any day of the week!!!
But getting back to the question....I DO LOVE CRACKLING!!!!

I like pork, but I don't like crackling. Crackling is very unhealthy, but pork is very lean and is very good for you. Better than red meat in fact. I like roast pork, butterflied pork, sweet and sour pork, I put pork in stir frys sometimes just for a change. I love pork with chilli plum sauce and I make my own sauce !!!

I am not really big into Pork, and have never had the crackling at all....it's not me.
Never did understand folks liking it, guess I'm weird....lol.

I eat pork and love it. I like crackling but am not crazy over it.

by Marie Vonow

Yes I eat pork, never ever the crackling just do not like it.

We eat alot of pork as hubby is German. I ccan't eat crackling now becaimy teeth aren't that strong but I still do it for the family. The secret to a fantastc crackling is to cut off as much fat as you can, oil and rub salt into skin and place on numerous paper towels in microwave and cook a couple of minutes at a time until all fat is gone snd you have a superb crackling.

Thanks for the crackling tip, Helga.

It is my favourite food. I cooked a leg of pork last week and I cant get enough crackling. I went to Colombia in Sth America and they serve it will rice baked inside the pig. Absolutely yummy

oh, that DOES sound nice!

OMG love love love pork! Although, I find the smell of the pork in Australia slightly "gamey" - its very strong. It doesn't stop me though from devouring the crackling!

by Bubz Life

Yes, I have that problem too - it smells very gamey to me. I often pass it across to the other half because I just can't get past the smell.

PS . . proper grass fed pork should not smell like that. Maes you wonder *what* they have been eating :(( Poor little piggies.

Yes and yes but not very often. The older I get, the less meat I eat. I doubt that I would eat meat once a week.

I really enjoy pork and crackling - with a lot of salt.

by Doctor Dave

As a child I ate it and liked it a lot.
I think pig farming is cruel . I think pigs are very intelligent and I couldn't kill one, so I don't let someone do it for me.Since I realised someone killing an animal for me is the same as killing it myself, I have given up eating meat unless I am capable if killing the animal myself. I haven't eaten pork for 37 years.

by annfi

The best part for me on a pork roast is the crackling, once I start I can't stop!

by Diana Nairn

I LOVE IT SO MUCH

by GRANN

We do eat pork, once a week & always using a different recipe, but I only buy pork steaks. & yes, I love the crackling, when I've eaten it at Christmas.
