Just cooked roast pork and couldn't resist the crackling!!!

Today the entire skin crackled and i had to eat half of it!! I feel so gutty but it was lush!

Ahh well back on track in the morning. I've cooked myself a nice vege and chicken broth for lunch, plenty of SF!

I cut off all visible fat from meat before cooking that way you can't be tempted and the meat isn't sitting in fat xx

I'm glad I'm a vegetarian or I would be craving some pork now. Before I became veggie meat was my weakness. I still crave it and it's usually fixed with some thick Bisto - who knows what I'll do now?!

Just don't fret over it, jump back up on the wagon and away you go!

I have avoided pork roasts for that very reason! I also struglle with the fat from steaks....

So I chop it all off before and husband be damned, he will not ruin my weightloss, lol.

This is going to sound silly but what's crackling?

Crackling is the skin or rind on a pork joint when roasted. Have you had pork scratchings? That's crackling.

I always trim fat off before cooking the meat, no temptation to eat it then!

Cos were a family of five, its cheaper for us to buy a joint of gammon, than buy individual gammon (which works out twice the cost), and I always did love the gammon fat lol So to avoid it I cut it off, before I cook it, just like someone else suggested to do with your pork. I know how tempting it is though, I make good crackling. yum yum I think it would speak to me if I left it on...'eat me...eat meeeee' lol

BTW not that I am encouraging anyone, but its rubbing salt in the fat, that makes it crackle.

haha I'm exactly the same, I genuinly love the taste of fat! People always say eww no I definitely get rid of it, and I really wish I was like that!

Although I still manage to take all the skin off poultry, fat off meat etc. I dont really miss it, I can just have a bit occasionally eg. a bit of crackling which has got to be one of my faves!! x
