Pork Scratchings

Charles Campion indulges his love of pork scratchings. He meets the pigs with the most suitable skins, chews the fat with Black Country pub goers and tours a scratchings factory.

In part 2 of the Food Programme's summer series, food writer Charles Campion indulges his love of pork scratchings, the carnivore's popcorn. We meet the pigs with the most suitable skins, chew the fat with black country pub goers, tour the scratchings factory in comedy hats, and see how the upmarket chefs are re-interpreting the scratching for the discerning palate.
Producer: Sukey Firth.
