      Gummy bears are another one of those "Wait, it has what in it?" as a good number are made with gelatine (though not all).

      I have a number of vegetarian friends, they are all good about it and very informed (that's where I learned about jello and gummy bears).

      You know, I have never actually HAD pork rinds. I mean, my love of all things pig says they should be great, but something about them has always bugged me (I mean, how do they end up the consistency of a baked chip?)

        That's the part that frightens me and turns me off of them. Never tried them don't want to.

          It is because they are the skin. Have you ever had a chicken baked perfectly where the skin crisps up and seals in all the yummy juices? Or in my case, got a bad enough sunburn that your skin blisters were crispy? OK that was gross but I had to go there

            Honestly she was so dingy she probably either did not read it or did not make the connection. If I was so against meat then I would probably not even want anything meat flavored like she probably thought they were.

              Gelatin, by its nature, is inherently not vegan. There is, however, a vegan "make things gel" that can be used for gelatin-like desserts. It's called "agar", and is made from seaweed. As a bonus, it can withstand higher temperatures than gelatin without melting.
              Agar! That's what it is. Thanks! I'll be sure to not make that slipup in the future. Gel, not gelatin. Agar.

                That wouldn't bother me at all, since I'm a not-holier-than-thou veg.
                Yeah, but if I did have a vegetarian coworker who it bothered I would do my best to avoid flaunting it in their face. Not that I wouldn't bring meat in my lunch, just that I wouldn't bring a bloody steak. But only if they weren't a bitch about it.

                Or in my case, got a bad enough sunburn that your skin blisters were crispy?
                Yes. OK, not crispy, but blisters from sunburn. Luckily it was only a tiny patch that I missed with the sunscreen. I'm super careful now.

                I think you can also use pectin for the same sort of thing.

                    Altoids also have gelatin in them.

                      I am notorious at home for scraping the bottom of the frying pan and catching those cripsy drippings with a spoon and laying them out to dry so I can snack on 'em.

                        It's fried piggy skin. Ya skin the bacon-wearer, drop the skin and fat into a deep-fryer until the fat fries off, and you're left with crispy airy pork rinds. I've located "shrimp chips" of the same consistency in a Lin's Buffet in ABQ. Probably not the same thing (...does shrimp even have fat cells?) but close enough.

                        Mom eats them with sour creme and onion dip. Ick.

                          You can also do them up like something called "Pork Cracklings" in my local area. They leave the fat on the skin and fry up the whole thing. The skin gets really crisp, like a really hard sourdough pretzel, while the fat puffs up just a little bit, and can be scraped off the skin, kind-of like scraping the cream middle off an Oreo. I tend to eat the fat off the skin in my mouth to give my saliva time to soften up the skin a bit to save my teeth some wear. I find them tasty, but really, really salty. Definately a sometimes-snack.

                          Locally, Yoder's does them best, and sells them, for sure, in Krogers, possibly other stores as well.

                            I had ONE pork scratching once and wanted to throw up immediately after. It was so salty!
