pork rind
Crunchy pig snack
Pork rinds are pieces of pig skin fried until crispy and puffed, eaten as a snack.
They're popular in Southern American cuisine and sold in bags like potato chips.
The singular pork rind refers to a single piece, though the plural is more common: a bag of pork rinds.
Also called chicharrones in Spanish-speaking contexts.
