What tastes good with pork scratchings?

In our last blog ‘Why pork scratchings are the healthier option’’ we spoke about the health benefits that come with eating pork scratchings. Such as that they’re high in collagen, high in protein, perfect for keto diets, and much more. In this blog post, we will focus on what tastes good with pork scratchings and how we can enjoy them even more by adding a simple accompaniment. So let’s begin…

Traditionally made pork scratchings; made from pork with a combination of a hard crunch and a thick layer of fat; are a unique snack to be enjoyed in your favourite local pub. Over the years they have become the legendary ‘meat and drink’ to Britain's pub-goers in many ways.
