My Fav British Snack

Hie fellas, today I will tell you my favourite british snack... It's pork crackling / pork scratchings. In hokkien, we call it "Bak Pui". In cantonese, i think it's called "Yok Pei". Correct me if I am wrong.

This is not a snack for the faint-hearted, it's oily, it can be very salty, its texture is hard and potentially a health hazard especially for those who have clogged heart arteries. If you don't have strong teeth, don't even try to eat it becoz I swear it will break your teeth. Anyway, here are a picture of the four brands I ate before.

Gold packet has the best taste, because it's the most crunchy but goes easy with your palate by being not too salty and fatty.

Green packet is my personal favourite, but it's not recommended for beginners and those without strong teeth. I get the throbbing pain sensation on my jaw just below my ears evertime I eat it. Hell, ppl used to call me a sadochist, I agree with them totally. HAHA !!!

Anyway, that's it for today. Have a nice day, everyone.
