Crackling Soup

This is a popular party dish made with pork or chicken cracklings (Griewe) and meat stock. It is often prepared in conjunction with pork butchering. Cooked with Weissebrieh as a soup, it is now considered a specialty of Perry County, although the dish is also found in Pennsylvania German settlement areas of West Virginia and southern Ohio. The Pennsylvania-German Jews make Griewesupp exclusively with chicken cracklings and chicken stock.
