The good stuff is where the fat renders out and it's a smoky shell. Another analogy, besides bacon, is the structural changes that happen to pork rinds, though no end would survive getting THAT crispy.
Sneads was really good at that shit back in the day.

It's a flash setting, rather than raw jpegs, so I can't directly post, but compare pre-rendered ends [7] to rendered ends [8]. The crispy part is the blackened end.

Sorry, must have misunderstood!
I like a primarily chewy consistency, with a little crispiness in there.
