Wait, what? Y'all are lookin' for cracklins? Go to a butcher.

Mmmmm...cracklin.

Go to your local butchers and order 1/2 or a whole pig, that way you can dictate to the butcher how you want it prepared.

This is also a cheaper way to buy meat because you will get the choice joints as well as the cheaper (crackling rich) parts. Pork freezes very well

	Just went to Carmelo's today for some pork for Christmas dinner. Turns out that they also refer to pork belly as "Schweisnbrüstli mit Schwarte". Technically this translates as breast of pork but it's the same cut. Hope that helps anyone in the future!

Yes, I went to order 1kg Schweinebauch mit Schwarte (pork belly with rind) at our little neighbourhood Migros and collected it two days later. It was labelled Schweinebrust or something similar. It cost CHF17 per kg.

Carmelo's is really cheap. I paid CHF12 for 1.2 kg. Bargain!
