re: Is it Cracklings, Cracklin, or Cracklins and why?

grattons

A Cormier from Quebec told me that in Canada, they only say gratton(s) not crackling(s). He also told me which I found pretty neat, is that the Indians taught the Acadian settlers to preserve meat by boiling pork meat in lard, thus making cracklins.
Also interesting is that nobody can trace the origin of cracklins because they're made basically all over the world, in just about all cultures.
