Default Pork Rinds - Vancouver BC

Hi! I was able to find some Old Dutch pork rinds at a grocery store in Richmond BC, however, they didn't taste that fantastic. Just wondering if anyone has had any luck finding pork rinds in the Vancouver area...and did they come in flavours? Thanks!

hi! i found some flavored ones at the store buy low in vancouver, they were salt and vinegar, but they also had dextrose (sugar) added. you could eat them with guacamole or melt cheese on them to spice them up.

I use popcorn spice like white cheddar or sourcream and onion on mine to make them more appetizing for munching. A little powder goes a long way.
I also like to dip them in sour cream based dips too. Home made dill is my favorite.

Thank you Candiflip for the tip - I had no idea they carried them at T&T... if you don't mind - can you let me know if you just find them in the 'snack' aisle along with the other Asian snacks? Or are they tucked away somewhere in a 'special ingredient' aisle -- I always get a little lost in T&T. Thank you so much for all your help!

Thanks again Candice for your help. On an older post, you indicated that you ate sausage patties for breakfast, ( this post was from a long time ago). Just wondering if you could let me know where you buy them & are they 0 carb?
THANK YOU!!! :0)

Thanks a bunch - will definitely try it out! I was checking out your recipe blog - AMAZING stuff. Just wondering where you get your xylitol and liquid sucralose - do you order it from low carb grocery like the coconut flour? Sorry to keep bombarding you with questions - but I find it absolutely fascinating that you have created so many awesome low carb recipes - seriously, my mouth is watering just looking at the pics!

You can get old dutch bacon puffs from Safeway & Save-on-Foods. I've found them in the chip isle.

Thanks, Candiflip, will check it out. Love the latest pic by the way - what an amazing journey it must have been for you.
Do you still 'recognize' the 'old' you? Without doubt and to say the least, you truly are an inspiration!
