A Bit Of Scratchin' History
Wikipedia tells us Pork Scratchings are believed to have originated in the West Midlands or Black Country, where they were widely consumed by the working classes. The pork scratching dates back to the 1800s, when families kept their own pigs as a source of food; in order to not waste any element of the pig, due to the scarcity of food, even the offcuts of fat and skin were fried for food.
An article in the Daily Mail by Charles Campon tells how the famous essayist Charles Lamb (1785-1824) wrote a piece entitled 'A dissertation Upon Roast Pig', in which he describes how pork crackling came about.
What everyone agrees is Pork Scratchings are now one of the most popular bar snacks today, and JT is one of the Black Countries top suppliers and was the first company to introduce double fried pork scratchings.
