Guest guest Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Well, I have two questions. First off, I saw some nice beets at the market and I am planning on having some beets soon. Has anyone tried the recipe in NT for beets? Or does someone have a recipe that they like better? I love canned beets, but I have never had a fresh beet. I was also wondering if anyone had ever heard of cracklins. When I my grandparents would get their pigs butchered, they always got these crispy little pieces of stuff that grandma called cracklins. They were really yummy and they tasted kind of like bacon. I used to eat them right out of their container in the refrigerator, but I think grandma added them to food for the flavor as well. I believe that they might have been skimmed of off the lard when they rendered it, but I'm not sure. They always came in a couple of big paper grocery bags. Unfortunately, my local giant eagle doesn't carry cracklins. I'd like to go to a butcher and inquire about them, but I would feel a little less silly if I had a proper name for them. Are they really called cracklins? Are they any good for you? Anyhow, thanks in advance for the answers. Bertie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
