Cracklings (or cracklins as we call them here in the Southern USA) are just little pieces of deep fried pork skin. They are really good when baked in cornbread. As for a "crack"--that is like asking "what is a grit?" Cheers and happy eatin'!

Cracklin' is little pieces of fried pig fat with some of the skin left on. Some people refer to pork rinds as cracklins but it depends on where you are in the world.
Hey what chef/restaurant are you talking about? (If you dont mind)

Pork rind is the cooked fat of a pig. This may be either eaten warm with a meal, or served cold as a snack. In both forms any fat attached to the skin at the time of frying is absorbed in the process.

It is the skin of a pork roast that has been slashed and salted so that it gets crunchy
