ShelterDog64 2,364 Posted August 13, 2016 I've been laid up the past couple of days with a bad shoulder, so I was tootling around the interwebz today and found a bariatric food site that I'd never seen before. It's the site that carries Inspire Protein, which I was happy to find but they also had this horror: http://www.bariatriceating.com/product/microwave-pork-rinds-10-ounce-tub-pops-fresh-into-2-gallons/ They're these horrid little bits of 'meat' that you microwave and they turn into Pork rinds. I just can't even... I've been fat for a long time, and I've eaten my share of truly unsuitable food, but I can't imagine even as a fat person popping one of those strange pieces of whatever into the microwave and then eating what appears afterward! All apologies to all you pork rind lovers...but would you eat them this way or just buy a bag? What other weird 'bariatric' food is out there that I don't know about?

LipstickLady 25,682 Posted August 13, 2016 I love pork rinds! Seriously. Those microwaveable ones? So gross! I've never eaten them, but I bought them for hubby as a joke once. I think we tossed them... Pork rinds are a great crunchy snack with no carbs. Get them freshly made at a Hispanic market? Yum! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FrankyG 1,450 Posted August 13, 2016 (edited) I haven't really used much prepackaged stuff as I wanted to learn how to cook healthy and tasty food. That microwave stuff sounds nasty! I've made Pork rinds from scratch an they are AMAZEBALLS. Seriously awesome. I'd gotten a picnic pork roast and it comes with a large piece of skin on the bottom, and I cut it off, baked it up with seasonings (garlic, salt and pepper and some cayenne pepper cause the husband and I both like them spicy). Found the recipe here: http://paleoleap.com/homemade-pork-rinds/ We do buy them at the store, but I make a point to get the roasts with skin now cause it's such a lovely snack homemade.
