Identifying a white crispy garnish to a pork dish

Identifying a white crispy garnish to a pork dish - Flat lay of nachos near guacamole sauces and sliced white bread on plates

We went to an excellent restaurant last night and one of us was served pork with an unfamiliar, edible garnish;

what's the white crispy thing?

It was a crispy, long, white item which may have been a little salty and a little meaty, although I'm not sure.

Can anyone identify the White item on this plate?



Best Answer

I haven't got time to make a real answer but here's a recipe http://m.cookingchanneltv.com/recipes/pork-rinds-chicharron.html

The reason it's white is all to-do with light diffusion and the fact the brown 1mm thick crisp pork skin has just been stretched to over 1cm thick.

Think... blowing up a balloon, it get lighter in colour as it gets bigger.
