I tried pork scratchings at a beer-tasting a while back and I thought they were pretty foul, too. Had beef jerky in America a few months ago and liked it well enough but ye ghods was I thirsty after! I drank about ten cups of water one after the other. Don't like chicken skin, even if dry and crispy. Luckily, never met a cat who didn't.
Was feeling a bit left out on the animal-snacks front until I remembered dried smoked bacon. In fact, there's some in the fridge right now... See you later!
