in 美國 America, it is called "Pork Rinds" (crunchy fried snacks food for Football games)
in 英國 England, there are called it "Pork Scratchings/Cracklings" (beer crunchy snacks)
in 墨西哥 Mexico, 哥斯大黎加 Costa Rica or 葡萄牙 Portugal, it is called "Chicharrons"
In 菲律賓 Philippines, it is called "Chicharon" (finger food and garnish to other dishes)
in 巴西 Brazil, it is called "Torresmo" (popular bar snacks)
in 哥倫比亞 Colombia, it is called "Chicharrones"
in 加拿大的紐芬蘭 Canada Newfoundland, it is called "Scrunchions"
in 泰國 Thailand, it is called "Khaep mu", are specialty of the northern Thai city of Chiang Mai.
in 印尼 Indonesia, it is called "Krupuk kulit" (Made Cow or Water Buffalo skin for Muslims)
in 義大利 Italy, it is called "Ciccioli"
in 斯拉夫國家 Slavic Countries like Croatia, Serbia or Bosnia, Bulgaria, Russia or Ukraine (Pork skin is mixed with Lard Spread served with bread)
There is a type of snacks that are great to munch on in an American Football games, this ultimate snack is a bit salty, crunchy, and comes with some serious savory snap; and it is called "Pork Rinds"! and the Americans (also British) also calls it "脆豬皮肉 Pork Cracklings". But this snack is one of the oldest snack that dates back to Ancient China; as long as the Chinese has been raising pigs, they have also been eating 豬皮 Pork Skins (although different ways of preparation)! 美國零食愛好者 American snack enthusiasts will also know that February 11th is not just any ordinary day as it's a day that combines 美國人最喜歡的兩個事情 two of America's favorite things: 國家豬皮日 National Pork Rind Day and 美國超級盃(超級碗)週日 Super Bowl Sunday!
In the Western world, the history of pork rinds takes us back centuries, said to have arrived to the United States in the early 1800s, likely from the 西班牙社區 Spanish community from 墨西哥 Mexico or 多明尼加共和國 Dominican Republic! Not Surprising that, Pork skin is said to be first made in the 1500s in Spain and brought by the 由西班牙人 Spanish to 中美洲國家 Central America countries like Mexico or Dominican Republic; and it is called "Chicharrons". In Spain during old times, pork rinds were primarily enjoyed by the aristocracy, who would enjoy them as a delicacy alongside other fine foods. In 英格蘭 England, "Pork scratchings" or "Pork cracklings" are the British name for deep-fried, salted, crunchy pork rind with fat produced separately from the meat, eaten cold and a popular 酒吧小吃 Bar Snack. Pork scratchings typically are heavy and hard, have a crispy layer of fat under the skin, and are flavored only with salt, and this is popular Western style of Pork skin eating. The humble pork scratching has been part of the English pub culture.  
Because, Pigs were among the first animals domesticated for food in ancient China around 6000 BC and the Chinese eat almost every part of the Animal, including the Pork Skin. Today 8,000 years later, China still consumes far more pork than any other country, and not surprisingly, has the world’s largest pig population (700 million says one source). Maybe the Chinese traditionally prepare the Pork skin differently from the West as the Pork skin is even used to make the 中式豬肉皮凍 Chinese Pork Jelly as a 涼菜 cold dish. The Chinese pork jelly has a rich history and cultural significance in Chinese cuisine. BUT when the Western version of Fried Pork skin/Pork Grind or "Pork scratching" that comes in crunchy style was introduced to the Chinese people in more recent history, it became an instant favorites to the Chinese people. 
If you go to 蝦皮購物 Shopee or 來贊達購物 Lazada, and search for Pork Skin, you can even find many shops selling the fried Pork Grind/Pork skin sold as a "Keto friendly snack"! and so many choices of 泰国著名脆口炸猪皮 Thailand's famous crispy fried pork skin from 泰国 Thailand!
