What do you season your popcorn with?

Yeah, that was me. That sort of topic never ends up well here…

Right, sorry guys for spoiling this thread. I do eat popcorn and chips too (but afterwards I regret it :person_facepalming: ). My intention is at least to plant a seed of your attention to it. Law enforces giving nutrition facts and ingredients, so everybody could choose for himself.

Ahmmm, coming back to popcorn, who tried one fried on chilli oil with pink (Himalayan) salt? I think it rocks…

Everyone else on the internet is always wrong ...Why is that ?

nice one Sb56637> it takes real guts to show your burro on the forum

I like sweet popcorn, so I would go for plain sugar, caramel sauce, or maple syrup.

Am I the only person here that just likes the Popcorn straight up?
Maybe a little salt and maybe not but why would I ruin the Popcorn flavor with anything else?

And for the record my Mother and Uncle owned a chain of Popcorn Stores when I was growing up and they featured 133 flavors of popcorn and none were as tasty to me as Plain.

Ain’t. Nothing wrong with that.

Salted Caramel. It’s magic.

I watched footy last night.
200gm bar of dark chocolate. “”old Jamaica”
Half a Packet of dark chocky “Tim Tams” biscuits.
Packet of Ginger biscuits. and a coupla shots of single malt.

You’ll live forever I reckon.

Weeeell. Till THEN Anyway.

Just enjoy what you got. WHILE you got it.
Life is sweet. Don’t spoil it worrying about things.

I agree with 1stein, I very rarely eat pop corn, maybe twice in ten years. These snacks have a high profit margin which is why they are heavily advertised, and poor nutrition. My naughty treat at the moment is home made jam on toast, either blackcurrant or Morello cherry, it is incredible, but unhealthy, so I am experimenting with simply simmering the fruit with a small amount of sugar and then bottling it, and eating it on breakfast cereal. It is awesome, the taste is outstanding, and so much healthier than these fast foods.

But if I had to eat pop corn, then chilli pepper or maple syrup would be my flavour of choice, probably pepper first.

Don’t buy your popcorn at the cinema,they hike the price waaay up , best to get it from the shops before you go.

@1stein:

While I appreciate your sentiment, it sounds like you know very little about the nutritional facts of popcorn.

So maybe you shouldn't post about something that you know so little about?

Plus, if I wanted to be lectured about my diet, I would clearly state that.

...

Popcorn is a whole grain, and it's actually pretty healthy for you.

(Unless you're one of those people that has to avoid carbs for some bs reason.)

Valentina sauce or Tajin powder.

Powered ghost pepper and a little butter.

Yeah, it has a bit of kick, on the up side very few people will try and take some. You know immediately who does though. LOL

Chile valentina and lemon squeezed then shaken should look something like this. Nice n soggy n salty and mmmm mmmm mmmmm

I put Valentina Extra Hot on a lot of foods, but I haven't tried it on popcorn.

oh wow first time learning about extra hot! I’ll have to find a bottle haha

I get mine at Walmart, where I buy most of my food.

Living in the corn belt, working corn fields since I was a kid, and currently working in the agriculture industry (mostly corn and soybeans)… we’ve got corn everywhere including popcorn. I get mine from a farm just a few miles down the road (along with some killer sweet corn). It’s amazing how much better it tastes being farm fresh. It pops a lot better too. We usually use a Whirly Pop on the stove with minimal oil.

As far as toppings go, we love it all sorts of ways: lightly salted, kettle, kettle + cinnamon, creole seasoning, garlic salt, caramel (usually for holiday gifts), tossed in white chocolate, chili powder + cayenne pepper… I think I might have to go make some right now!

Brewers yeast, gives a nice tang

@FabienG:

You don't know much about food, do ya?

Walmart has just as much healthy foods as any other grocery store.

And there's nothing wrong with corn or soybeans.

...

People, if you want to criticize what other people eat, and really, you shouldn't, at least get your facts straight first.

(Otherwise you sound like a blathering idiot.)
