Cracklin
Cracklings , crackling (British English), also known as scratchings, are the solid material which remains after rendering animal fat and skin to produce lard, tallow, or schmaltz, or as the result of roasting meat. It is often eaten as a snack food or made into animal feed. It is also used in cooking. Cracklings are most commonly made from pork, goose, and chicken, but are also made from other poultry and from beef, lamb and mutton. In French cuisine, cracklings (grillons, grattons, gratterons, frittons) may be made from pork, goose, duck or turkey. These are salted while hot and eaten as an hors-d'œuvre, especially in the southwest. Duck 'frittons' are said to come originally from Burgundy.
