I bet that Ginger and George would have loved the various aromas in there.

Yes, there is a product called Pork Scratchings which is small artificial pieces of rashers. Tasty and very salty and sold in pubs to make the drinkers more thirsty!A Heron's Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06563706152609630696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-74483180954671155922016-01-11T11:12:45.929-05:002016-01-11T11:12:45.929-05:00I purchase the dried mealworms but they are for th...I purchase the dried mealworms but they are for the birds, can't imagine eating them as a treat.Dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05230334534323236665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-4000843902115137132016-01-11T02:23:42.506-05:002016-01-11T02:23:42.506-05:00Never had beef jerky - it doesn't really appea...Never had beef jerky - it doesn't really appeal, though we've given the dogs beef jerky flavoured treats, which smell terrible. Pork rinds are popular on this side of the pond, and in the UK they are known as pork scratchings (gross, I know), are very greasy and salty, and are sold in pubs as a snack to have with a drink.

I remember them being sold at the Christmas Market, and my shuddering when I first saw them. I don't know anybody who has eaten any of it, but they are supposed to be really good for you - full of proteins, and apparently, "the food of the future", because a lot easier and more sustainable to grow and produce than the larger animals such as cows and pigs.<br />The disgust we may feel is of course simply in our heads, because we weren't raised on larvae and crickets. Other folks may not understand how we can kill and eat cows and so on. Actually, eating one animal does not really differ from eating any others - they are all dead animals in the end.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-36578407041758060032016-01-11T00:03:39.174-05:002016-01-11T00:03:39.174-05:00You'd have loved this place.

After I saw the dried insects that the sales lady swore were people snacks I felt too nauseous to contemplate actually eating anything.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12512800812290518552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-32686580703050126902016-01-10T23:58:33.759-05:002016-01-10T23:58:33.759-05:00I love beef jerky, which I know as biltong.

The last time he came he brought quite a big pack, AND LOST IT. I still haven't got over the shock. Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.com
