Hog Tails' Pork Cracklin - Fifth Ward, LA




--  Uncle Jesse cooks these golden nuggets up out back, behind his Hog Tails store in Fifth Ward (outside of Marksville).  They hold more promise than they deliver.  Though cooked fairly well, the bland seasoning did nothing to mask the less-than-fresh taste that punctuated these cracklings.  And for a review of their boudin look here: Hog Tails Boudin

    The keto diet changed my life, and I owe it all to my love for these pork cracklings! I hadn't realized that it was all the peasant breakfast cereals causing my inflammation until I stopped believe the government's nonsensical food pyramid. Now instead of carb-filled popcorn during movie night I devour these delicious deep-fried pork fats and I've never been healthier! It thought I was going to retire last year but now with the keto diet the doctor days I might not need to retire from pressure washing for at least another ten years!
