But didn't they originate 'oop North?  Are you casting aside your cultural heritage?  I thought they were as integral as a flat cap, whippet and stout...    ;D

When in Denmark I discovered a similar, though not as pure version.  At the checkout the girl asked me twice (in very good English) if I was sure I wanted to buy them.  She was convinced only Danes would want them  ;D

Nah.  Pork scratching / crackling / pork rind, etc., etc., etc., is a worldwide delicacy.

But that's north of Watford. 

Doesn't everyone north of Watford have a flat cap, whippet, a pint of stout in one hand and an impenetrable accent?      :-\

Waitrose sell brawn (or at least used to). That's cooked minced pigs head in jelly. The jars contain the warning 'may contain hair, bones or teeth'. How cool is that!

After discussing the finer points of biltong with my South African colleague at work, I broached the subject of pork scratchings.  Despite their seeming similarity to the African delicacy, she was utterly revolted by the idea.

Mind you, she has learned to be wary of my culinary recommendations, having tried a doner kebab "with everything" and been unable to eat any of it  ;D

I can tell you're an offshorian.   The general reference is north of Watford Gap.     ::-)
