My brothers and I used to eat these at the open markets in Mexico when
we were kids.  We'd stand around the boiling fat as they dipped out
the chicharrones.  So fantastically good.  I like the pork rinds you
buy in the store but they are like real chicharron as a twinkie is to
a great chocolate cake made by a master chef.
