Lucy was at a loose end so invited Nigel to go for a mooch round Webbs Garden Centre near Droitwich. Now, Lucy was very taken by their range of hardy perennials, plant pots and one or two other bits of garden paraphernalia, however it was something of a very different type nature that took Nigel's interest. Needless to say it was nothing to do with any horticultural pursuit, instead being something a little closer to his love for his tummy .........
........ to wit, posh pork scratchings in the very extensive food hall. I have to admit that we have all missed a good honest scratching since moving from the Black Country where they are a renowned delicacy and the scourge of the dentist! However, these were not the usual rough and ready scratchings of our past ........ these were posh ........ and ....... they came in flavours, maple, salt and vinegar, mustard, BBQ and Habanero (no, we'd never heard of that one either).
Needless to say, several considered purchases were made, but none actually made it as far as The Towers, as they were all were eaten on the way back home ........ however Nigel did say that he had given them all 10 out of 10 in his own, personal car bound scratchings review. What is he like?
Ooh-I’m very envious of you trying out all those yummy pork scratchings. I’m having a few dental problems so I can’t eat them any more.

In Mexico, they have the exact opposite of posh pork scratchings. They don't come in plastic bags, or anything so hygienic. They are called chicharrones and they are huge.

Habanero chilli peppers are very common here. They are very hot and spicy.
Oh my goodness Mr D....I have just looked at your scratchings!!!!!!!!!!!!!
