Are you sure

Esoteric_ · 14-06-2011 1:56pm

Yup, they're in black packets down in the sweets aisle for 99 cent each. Never bought them for myself because I hate pork scratchings but have bought them numerous times for my ex. If you'd like, I can double check tomorrow and let you know for definite

There is an Asian shop on middle abbey st Dublin that sells them for 1 euro a bag

Funkfield · 22-07-2011 8:19pm

The Cheers off-licence in Ballinteer (Dublin 16) sells them intermittently. Whenever they show up I buy a feck load as they always sell out so quickly.

I would love to know where to get them in Ireland on a regular basis.

Willing to travel.......

Are they the rinds fluffy one's or the one's with the fat on. and thanks for the replies.

foodaholic · 24-07-2011 12:21pm

Any friends of mine who go to England always bring me back loads of packets. But recently found out that the shop beside the Black Bull in Drogheda sell them !!!!

The ones in the Asian Market on Middle Abbey are the MS Traditional Pork Scratchings (19 picture on your list).
They are the hard ones with the fat on them.
Hope its what your looking for.

Im drooling already will pop over there tomorrow is it the one at the Luas stop.

Pretty much every pub in the UK does 'em. When I was living in Manchester I had a mate who'd have a pack every time we were out - He'd try force them on me. I did try one once and near enough vomited; It was a big gooey ball of fat.

So yeah, I'm not a fan.

Oh, and on topic - I don't know where you can get them.

Hootanany · 26-07-2011 6:49pm

And some of them look like curled up toe nails.:D

Min01 · 27-07-2011 9:11am

The shop is nearly across from the side entrace to Pennys. I don't know the name of it but its got red and white on the window. Hope you find it.

Anyone know anywhere else do them.:)

Thephantomsmask · 14-04-2012 11:22am

Dealz (the Irish arm of poundland) sell a few varieties, a hard type in gold multipacks and a fluffier type in blue and white bags. I've been happily munching since they opened in Cork.

Hootanany · 14-04-2012 11:57am

This makes me think of some sort of concoction covered in pigs' hairs.

I feel kinda ill

Bacon Fries?
Completely different.
They are pork crackling - roast or fried strips of pig skin as opposed to Bacon Fries which are fried corn based snacks with bacon "flavourings" - usually vegetarian friendly.

Sorry bad choice of words

they have a texture a bit like snax crisps was what I was trying to get at.

Went to Dealz in Blanchardstown today sold out someone is trying to stop me getting these gifts form Heaven. Bah

dahamsta · 23-04-2012 11:49am

Tried Dealz in Cork on Friday, no sign. I presume these are over by the crisps and peanuts? Or are they plonked on an aisle-end display or something?

Hootanany · 23-04-2012 12:06pm

Omni in Dublin not selling them either.

Will Dundrum out the weekend thanks for the help.

Karen23 · 17-09-2012 12:44am

My husband loves pork scratchings but prefers the ones from the butchers in the UK and buys them whenever he's over there but settles for the ones from Dealz in Omni while he's waiting

Dean_f · 20-09-2012 11:28pm

I dunno if it's any good to you but JCs in swords have had pork scratchings for the last two weeks anyway. Mr. Porky I believe is the brand. They have 3 different bags. I'm not sure of the difference but you seem like a bit of a connoisseur so I'm sure you'll know what you want.

Hootanany · 21-09-2012 8:04am

On my way to Swords cheers:D

Jenroche · 21-09-2012 8:17am

Pork scratchings are actually a good snack if you're on a low-carb diet. I was up in Omni yesterday and never thought to look in Dealz.

sham69 · 21-09-2012 8:46am

Dealz in the ilac centre in dublin have them.
I try not to buy too many of them but I think its a 6 pack for 1.49
I used to order the mr porky ones from amazon, they are the best ones..
They worked out at about 12 euro for a pub card of 20 bags, delish.
The ones in dealz are nice, they do 2 different brands , one is ok and the other is really tasty but can't remember which is which...
Might grab some today

Karen23 · 21-09-2012 10:09am

Dealz in Omni had them on Wednesday

Hootanany · 22-09-2012 7:17pm

My Son picked up a six pack of them in Dealz in the Ilac for me.
2 were gone by the time he arrived home little b u ggxx
Very small packs as well Thanks to all that has helped me on my Quest.
