A Salt & Vinegar Miscellany XI

 

Midway through a recent visit to the supermarket where I was seeking out a trio of items for that night's meal, I found myself within a section of the store that I rarely go through. It proved fortuitous as I stumbled upon not one but two salt & vinegar treats, including these pork rinds.

Pork King Good is not only a funky name but also a company in Milwaukee so I was supporting a local company. Well, localish, anyway. The bag gets bonus points for the clear part allowing a view of the rinds being shaped like a pig.

The best part, though, is that these were fantastic. They're firmly salted and dosed with a goodly amount of vinegar tang. The tangiest rinds I've ever had. These are like the Vintner's of rinds. Great stuff!

    I went out shopping Wednesday (on the CTA route #77 Belmont bus) to a Tony's Fresh Market store at Belmont and Central. [Read about it on the LTH Forum.]
    Tony's is having a sale on numerous brands of potato chips this week (through 3 January 2023), including Jay's and Vitner's. I bought eight bags. Four of each producer. Both are now under the same corporate umbrella. Jay's might get more distribution (to dollar-and-a-quarter stores?), but Vitner's probably not.
    Looking at the Tony's flyer, it shows a store in Round Lake Beach, IL. on E. Rollins Rd. and another one in Waukegan. At $2.50 | bag (8-10 oz.), you may want to take a shot on them.

    Does Jay's do a salt & vinegar chip? Their Hot Stuff chips are like opioids for me.
