Pork Rinds
Yes, that was so funny how cousin David reacted when I told him those chips he was eating which I had given him to try were actually pork rinds. Ha ha ha! That is what the package said. Cousin David looked like he was going to puke. I said that perhaps there was some mistake. Just because it says "pork rinds" on the package, that does not mean that anyone in their right mind would actually fry little pieces of pig skin and sell them in a bag as if potato chips or that Grandma would buy them at the grocery store and have them there for us to try, so it was all just a joke. No, actually we must take these labels very seriously because they mean what they say, David replies. Some people actually do fry little pieces of pig skin and sell them in bags as if they were potato chips. David is repulsed by the idea of eating pig skin. Funny that David would react so strongly. I mean, it is not like we are Jewish. It is not like we would be above eating the occasional pork and beans or gravy with gravy on biscuits, not that I have ever tried pork rinds since that time or even thought of eating pig skin. The idea is actually kind of gross if you take the label seriously.
