Cvarci

Today I found out that Americans don't know what Cvarci (plural, "cvarak" singular) are. I thought it would be a shame not to share the beauty of what Wikipedia calls "pork crisps".I personally like to think of them to be a balkan version of a deep-fried butter, except tastier. I've never been a big fan of them, however I find it amazing that in the country where deep-fried Mars bars are a thing, nobody thought of deep-frying lard.Additional fun fact, while butter has been used in polar expeditions before, it seems like my friend Davor is going to try how suitable Cvarci are for the South Pole.
