Seafood or hush puppies?! Wow Lisa! You need to go on a long road trip down to the south!
Really?
I guess I shouldn't be surprised as they are a southern thang. I am sure Brandon can whip up some good ones.
Basically, they are deep fried ***** of corn meal. I add bacon fat and jalapenos to mine and then serve Ranch dressing to dip them in.
Some folks put butter on them.

Yep, same thing. The ones that you buy in the store are not as good as the ones that you can get down here though.
The best way to eat them is fresh and hot, right out of the fryer. I have a Mexican friend that makes them and they are muy bueno. The Mexicans call them chicharrones.

Well my exhaust is here now. I asked dad to put it in the bed of my truck which is inside so it wouldn't get rained on.
He forgot and thought he would be nice and bring it home so I could see it. Now I have to try to get it across to him that I want/need to bring it down to the shed and put it in with the truck so the packaging and everything doesn't get soaked tonight, but mom is right here and she's too dang nosy for her own good so I need to let him know without letting her know.

I went on vacation to North Carolina once, got a kick out of the convenience stores. They had pork rinds in snack size bags, just like you'd find Doritos....and like 5 different brands of Mountain Dew.

I know. I'd love to travel and try/experience new things. Although I just looked up hush puppies on the nutritional calculator..70 cals per puppy, easily 120 if paired with ranch dressing. Whoa!
I've had pork rinds too, not sure about pork cracklings.
