An obese UK man from Sunderland has been hired to help a local butcher shop produce its own brand of pork scratchings with a twist.
After spending years of outsourcing its pork scratchings, Hank Bacon decided that there must have been a cheaper way of getting hold of the salty, roasted, skiny goodness needed to feed the City's sodium deprived populus.
"There's 'Na' enough of the stuff in the city to feed us like" Said one googly eyed commentator.
In a 'Eureka' moment, whilst at a local football match, the family butcher decided that the city was rich with spare skin as he studied the varying sizes of bellys pouring underneath the red and white football shirts. Bacon promptly placed an ad in the local paper for the city's plupest fan to come forward and nominate himself for this prestigious role. Eagerly, Pat Pucker stood up to nobly help his fellow city men.
In a cunning plot, Pat Pucker is given all the unsold fatty meat he can possibly eat. In return, he visits the shop twice a week so that all excess skin which has grown to support the buldge is carved from his torso. The Butcher then sticks the freshly carved flab straight in the oven to roast away and become the most sensational treat anyone could ask for.
"The bags of Pucker scratchings have been flying of the counter. They can't get enough of the stuff. I'm even thinking about diversifying and hiring the Toon boss chap for my next range".
Its unknown as to whether this new fad will catch on in other towns and cities around the country. Whilst most of the UK scratches their heads at this idea, Sunderland is more than happy to scratch Pat Pucker's Stomach.
