I don’t touch them myself, disgusting. But I thought they would appeal to the American palate.

So what is disgusting to you, you think is good for Americans, or this one, anyway,

Can't say I didn't try!

Porky scratchings are one the things I miss about living in Britain but this pull factor, on its own, is not enough to make me return.

Even as a non-American, I resent the exclusionary healthsnob tone of your criticism of my porky-scratchings-adjacent lifestyle preferences.

Yes. But they are relatively hard to come by on the predominantly Muslim island I live on. The Hindus in Bali love their pork. There is no "beef bacon" in most Balinese hotels' breakfast buffet. Alas, those soft and crunch and salty and sightly moist porky scratchings I remember from U.K. pubs are not something I have encountered.

We usually have crispy fries on potato, root vegetables but seldom eat what you call crispy pork skin, maybe more common in other countries. Perhaps not quite healthy but which fries are? As for the fat, Weight Watchers have a motto, "You can eat anything you like but not all the time."

Mine is: "I eat whatever I want, but - sorry Weight Watchers - I seem to have lost all my timesheets."

I seem to remember crispy pork skin in a roast dinner was called crackling. Scratchings are different.

Weight Watchers are very good for those who need help to lose weight, but it takes discipline like other methods. The difference with WW is that the principle and diets are based on healthy thinking. It's not so much about losing weight quickly but lose weight and stay that way and stay healthy. It's easy if we follow the recipes and their way of thinking.
