'''Crackling Breadbread''' is a Southern Cuisine which mainly consists of cracklings and a type of bread, usually containing [[cornmeal]]. [[Cracklings]] are extremely similar to [[pork rindsrind]]s and [[Chicharrón|chicharrones]], a dish made of fried pork rinds. Another name for Cracklings is gratons or grattons, dubbed by the Cajuns. During the time of slavery, servants would be given pork skin, which they would then deep-fry and incorporate into cornbread batter. Since those times, this rich food has become international. Many countries, including Italy, have had an interesting history corresponding with cornbread as well. Substitutes for the pork skin include raisins and candied peel.
