For years now, when I first get to Jazz Fest in New Orleans I go by the booth that is making and selling fresh pork skins, then go buy a draft beer, then enter the Gospel tent and consume while listening to the music.  A religious experience for the non-religious.

Teddy, bad news my friend, we planning another party in you and Judy's honor, you'll need to fly back soon.
Jim, the crackling you get at jazz fest and what we make here is not the same, they could never cook like we do and supply the people there. 5 hours to cook a 30 pound batch here on first cook. Then we do a second cook on second day on same crackling. You need hog fat at 450 degrees, you find right temp with a match. Once match lights your ready to pop them. You can only do a couple batches then grease is burnt. Start over, if they cooked this way at fest they would need to cook 5000 pound batches and use thousands of gallons of hog fat to supply demand of public at fest.
Teddy took pics, quite unique to this area the way we do this. We don't use only rind, we use what's normally used to make bacon, rind, fat and meat
I've seen what they cook at fest, only rind, we can buy 50# cases of this at all our local stores here. We buy hog belly by the 60 pound case and make them from scatch, rind, about 1 inch of fat and strips of meat attached. When we're done on first cook , about 4 1/2 hours, there's about 10 to 12 gallons of clear pork grease left in the 30 gallon black kettles we use
We use this to make second cook and always stash some to fry fish or oysters with later. Clean snow white pork lard. My colesterals really high. Heart attack stuff but so good.
Be ready for call teddy, bring fly rods, planning on hurting your arms on reds
Edit: and more pig, maybe bring ronn for backup?

yeah it is a special place.  we were down there once before, about 30 years, and the areas along the river changed dramatically.  the quarter looked the same and the few music joints we went to looked like they have never changed.

 

i like all kinds of music and jazz is really cool especially in person...i understand what to mean

[ted patlen]

i can't shorten the video of what Bud's talking about...he can fill in the blanks...

 

really really cool stuff

Ronn is heading to the coast to trap the left coast lobster - Dungeness crab.  Dungeness crab, and Chinook/King Salmon are the PNW's richest gift to the culinary world.
