  1. À Lyon, les grattons sont des résidus de gras et de viande de porc que l’on fait frire tout doucement... une vraie recette anti-ligne ! Comme c’est fait avec des résidus, ça donne plein de petits morceaux, qu’on grignote avec les doigts.
  2. En Ardèche, ce sont les grattons qui sont mêlés à la pâte à pain pour former la fougasse, mais attention, des grattons ardéchois et non lyonnais, car si tous deux sont issus de la fonte des graisses du cochon, leurs modes de préparation en font des produits bien différents.
