It may be mild to many but I am repulsed by pork scratchings. Let's see... you get some pig fat, fry it in, er, more animal fat, then put some salt on it and sell it in pubs as an accompaniment to beer. Loooooovely. I'd never tried them til I moved to Bristol - and never will again. And lardy cake? Cake with lard on it???!!! Yeeeeeuuuuuchhhhhhh. And I thought Ulster fries raised your cholesterol (they're good though!).
