Can I ask what brand of pork rinds you use, Werebear? I wouldn't mind looking up their ingredients, whatever it is.

Here in Canada, I have two options: 1) Baconets, made by Frito-Lay, ingredients are just pork rinds, lard, salt. They taste very bacon-y and I'm not sure they'd be good for this. The other brand is La Visita - ingredients are "fried pork rinds." Nicer flavour, way less bacon-y and I suspect they're fried in a crappier oil... but I'm not sure. I would have thought they'd have to declare the oil on the label.

(ETA) Forgot about the third option, Lapid's Choice, but they only come in vinegar or garlic flavour. They'd be great for savoury ones. They actually taste too good because there's MSG in them.

I'd like to try these in the waffle maker.
