Favorite "Odd" Beer Pairings

[JKaranka]

You guys love all things pork! Maybe you have them under another name? Very typical in pubs but also other European countries like Spain (chicharrones). They are bits of pork rind that have been deep fried until crispy and then seasoned. Served out of a packet like crisps or peanuts.

Pork rinds!

Rinds are the puffy, crispy ones, and cracklin's are the hard, break-your-teeth bits.

TIL that pork rinds are called scratchings in the UK.



And yes, they are great with beer. Pork fat rules, baby!

Imperial stout and lemon tart. Sounds odd, but delicious.

The British ones fall in between. Slightly puffy with bits of fat / lard that is soft and some fairly hard bits. I've had the puffy crispy light ones in Spain.
