I took Karen to Smoke and Donuts for Mothers' Day brunch, and before taking our order they brought us a small serving of freshly made pork rinds.

Love me some Smoke & Donuts. Plus, they spin Afro-pop vinyl …

Yes, they do! Great music, but not loud enough!

They should be the official mother's day food in the south. The rest of the country gets to eat little Debbie cupcakes.

I’ll pass that along to my Little Debbie

Bob I thought we had more southerners in Florida. I just bought 2–24 packs of Lowers microwave pork rinds regular and hot. Great for travel and when company stops by. Happy Mothers Day to Debbie

Microwave pork rinds? Who knew? I'll have to get around some of those. So nice to hear from you, Grace. Hope this finds all well in your world. And Debbie says hi.

A good idea for the official gift for Mother's Day? Only for Debbie, please!

Are you sure I can't tempt you? We had them today and dipped them in pimento cheese. Muy bueno ...

You’re lucky to live in the state of Grace

Well played, sir.

I'll pass on the rinds. Does Ms. Grace make anything with gefilte fish?

Bob Morris's avatar

Nope and I’m not gonna suggest it

"Crunchy pig skins" is what my Daddy called 'em. Nawth Car'lina.

Much better than chitlins. Which used to have their own celebration, the Chitlin’ Strut in Salley SC. Celebrants had to stay downwind of the cookers. Cancelled the last 3 years, but may be revived since we’re back to eating the whole pig except the squeal.

Bobby Mo, you are one of a Rind. Nobody leaves your Diner hungry.

Damn you Bob. Now I need those instead of the buffet spread planned at the Ritz! This is a dilemma due to time and geography because it is Ms Grace's or naught!

I've considered trying to make them again. But at $8 for a giant bag of Ms. Grave's Best, why bother?
