It’s almost that time of year: college football season. Crisp autumn air, falling leaves, and of course, the crunch of Southern Recipe Small Batch Pork Rinds!
To celebrate the return of college football, we’ve paired five collegiate teams with our savory, delicious pork rinds. We think these flavors make for great game day snacks when watching these teams play. Our pork rinds are a perfect appetizer or an ingredient in a new take on a favorite recipe. Without further ado, here’s our list:
Sea Salt & Cracked Black Pepper: Coastal Carolina Chanticleers
Embrace iconic beach vibes with our Sea Salt & Cracked Black Pepper pork rinds – a clean flavor that perfectly suits Coastal Carolina. This university situated on the coast of South Carolina brings beach town fun and flavor to the collegiate landscape. Pairing this school with Sea Salt & Cracked Black Pepper is like pairing a beach day with your favorite book and beer — it just makes sense!
Sweet BBQ: Texas Longhorns
Three Texas cities top Food and Wine’s list for top BBQ cities in America, with Austin coming in first place. Austin is also home to one of the largest universities in the state where the Longhorns proudly compete for gridiron glory. The sweet taste of Longhorns victory pairs perfectly with the sensation of our Sweet BBQ pork rinds, packing smoky and sweet goodness in each bite.
Pasilla Chili Cheese: Cincinnati Bearcats
Cincinnati, Ohio is one of the country’s chili hotbeds and home to Skyline Chili, a chain with 150+ stores nationwide. There’s no better pairing for our Pasilla Chili Cheese pork rinds than the University of Cincinnati Bearcats. Just like this team brings the heat in the Big 12 conference, we’re bringing the heat and savory goodness of chili cheese to you in a low-carb, keto-friendly package.
Hot Honey: California Golden Bears
California is the state with the second-highest honey production in the country and is also home to the California Golden Bears. We all know that bears love honey, so this match is as good as a day in the California sunshine! While you watch the Golden Bears throw down in some ACC action this season, bring some snackin’ to the party with the sweet heat of our Hot Honey pork rinds.
Pineapple Ancho Chile: Hawaii Rainbow Warriors
The Hawaii Rainbow Warriors battle in the Mountain West, but they enjoy games from and education on the beautiful Hawaiian island of Oahu. Keeping with this theme of all things tropical, enjoy a sweet and spicy combo with our Pineapple Ancho Chile pork rinds. These snacks have a big crunch and even bolder flavor, a perfect pairing with the crunch of football pads and bold views of the iconic Aloha Stadium.
Whether you’re watching your team take on its rival or tailgating for your favorite team, pair it with pork rinds! Happy (almost) college football season!
