Chicharon!

I love chicharon too! especially the ones which are made in Cebu City. They're not just pork skin but the meat is also there. You can choose the ordinary chicharon and the special one. Every time my tita goes to Cebu I always tell her to bring my favorite. And it is best to dipped it in spicy vinegar.

In USA they called Pork Rinds, yes in some regions in America they eat chicharon, It is influence from the Mexican immigrants. In mexico they refer it as chicharones. You may not believe this but during the Spanish rule many Mexicans migrated to the Philippines, Avocado and Squash were not native to the Philippines, Mexicans brought them here. So many people are not ware they have Mexican blood. Also during The Spanish rule many Filipinos Migrated to mexico, Infact there is a city in mexico where everyone have Filipino blood.

There are lots of varieties of chicharon, there are also shrimp, squid, but mostly made of starch or flour with only different flavoring. And yes you are right chicharon is not a healthy food but people still love to eat. And just as you said a matching spicy vinegar makes the eating more enjoyable. But me.... I don't eat chicharon anymore. Yes before I admit I love chicharon especially Lapid's chicharon but after having known how unhealthy this stuff is I totally erased chicharon from my mind. I never eat this anymore.

YEs, I love chicharon too. I haven't heard about the one made of chicken skin though. But these days, chicharon doesn't taste like how it was before. It's not as crunchy and tasty. But there are still some brands that stay the same.

I love chicharon too but I limit my intake as I am aware of the cholesterol it would bring to my arteries. My brother is addicted to it and since we are living outside the Philippines, everytime we know someone going home, we always request to buy 4-5 packs of chicharon from Lapids as it is the best one you can find in Manila. I also like the chicharon from Bulacan and bagnet in Laoag. But due to the distance, Lapid is the best option. Mexico has also chicharon, they call it chicharones. I tried once during my holiday in the US, the one that can be bought from the supermarket, but it is not as good as what we have. But a friend told that me that there are very good Mexican chicharones, as good as what we have in the Philippines. There is also a US made chicharon that is microwable. It can be purchased online. I tried it as well but I still prefer the pinoy chicharon.

hi, i love this chicharon, and i really like to eat it,every time i travel to go in our province, i always buy chicharon in bus with delicious vinegar, this food i loved to eat on travel. even my grandfather know how to make a chicharon.

Now you've done it! I almost rid myself of chicharon cravings but you went ahead and made me crave them more. Ah well, what the heck.. I better get ready for some serious exercise again. I'm about to raid the pantry for some chicharon fun!

I used to eat much chicharon. that was when I was still younger. Now that I am nearing forty, and quite hypertensive, I don't eat chicharon anymore. I wish to eat them but I would not take the risk anymore.

I love chicharon too. But I haven't had that in years! I don't even know where to buy one in my place.

Chicharon is simply the best! Especially with vinegar, and the spicy kind too! Yum! There are also ones that are I think made from isaw and stuff? I love those too! Aw, now you have me craving for some!
