Made for Drink releases pork scratchings
UK brand Made for Drink has released its own version of the classic bar snack pork scratchings. These pork scratchings, or ‘Iberian Pork Chicharrones’, were initially sold in upmarket supermarket retailer Fortnum and Mason and the Metropolitan pub estate, and now look to appear in supermarkets, delis, food halls, farm shops and garden centres around the UK.
“Traditionally in the UK a pork scratching is a full-bodied, intensely flavoured treat that requires some significant jaw work. My inclination was to build upon our strong Spanish ties forged during the creation of our award-winning Chorizo Thins and use highly-prized Iberian pork. By adopting the Spanish preference for cooking the pork rind twice, the second time at a much higher temperature the pork skin inflates, taking on an altogether more airy, melty texture,” said Made for Drink founder Dan Featherstone.
