Never heard this before. I'm so glad I live north of I-12 and I'm not a dirty arse Cajun.

Everyone I know calls them cracklins. The only time I've ever heard someone say "crack-LINGS" was when someone was making fun of the way some white people over-pronounce everything.

Cracklin or gratton. No "s" or "ing". Hell, even the Cracklin Cookoff in Parks, Louisiana doesn't use an "s" but damn they got some good grocery out there.

Cracklins, cause when you slaughtered the hog you made cracklins. No one ever said we slaughtered a hog and made cracklin. It was cracklins.

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.

It’s spelled H-E-A-R-T A-T-T-A-C-K

They’re good though.
