Spanish term or phrase: chicharricos
Two different types of pork product:

corteza de cerdo
chicharricos

I've been translating "corteza de cerdo" as "pork scratchings" (Br Eng), but I'm not sure about "chicharricos". Anyone know what these are called? TIA!

pork rinds


Explanation:
I would suggest using the two terms - pork scratchings (UK) and pork rinds (US) to differentiate the 2 products - as I understand it the Corteza would be more the fried outside skin (use pork rinds here)whilst the chicharricos would have a little more fat included as well as the rind (use scratchings here)- I don't think we really distinguish between the 2 products but by employing the 2 terms you might convey the right idea.
