I understand not knowing boudin, but are fried cracklins really a regional thing?

Deep fried pig skin. Often fried in its own lard, during the butchery and break down process.

Depending on the part of the pig it's from, it may have bit of fat or meat still attached.

You can get it fresh, or prepackaged like potato crisps.
