  • Popcorn

    So how do you like your popcorn? Buttered? Salted? With cheese? Or with icecubes?

    For me at least buttered. I can do without the salt.

    I can do without butter, but I need salt!

    In college, my misguided hippie friends used to ruin popcorn by putting brewer's yeast on it. <gag> More for them that way!

      Watching movies is not watching at all without a box of popcorn with extra butter and salt.

      Oh....of course with a date, to buy the popcorn, drinks and candies too!

        I like a good old fashioned carmel popcorn ball!

          At the movies, extra butter, salt and mochi crunch!
          (Signature used REAL butter - I don't know about its successor, Regal).

          At home, on microwaved or freshly popped (in a pot) popcorn; melted real butter and one of the following -- or a couple of the following, in different bowls:

          - kosher salt, mochi crunch and furikake (the nori kind, of course)
          - lemon pepper (really ono!)
          - kosher salt, chipotle powder and a little cayenne
          - garlic salt (w/parsely bits -- pretty!)
          - Old Bay seasoning (tastes similar to Dixie Grill's popcorn)

          The possibilities are limited only by one's spice selection.

          Now that I'm writing this, it occurs to me one could also flavor the butter during/after the melting process ... or use leftover herbed or spiced butter from another recipe.

          Ho, I'm ono for popcorn now!

          (GREAT poll, by the way!)

            Curry powder works well. Li hing mui powder probably would work, too.

              Re: Popcorn

              Extra butter and salt at [some of] the theaters. "Extra" only because the regular amount there seems nearly nonexistant. Otherwise I don't actually like to eat popcorn. Something about the smell drives me crazy. If I do eat, I can only eat so much before I feel sickly. I like the kakimochi/furikake mixes in small doses, as well. I used to eat that cheddar flavored popcorn that comes in the big tin can but I seemed to pick the stale bunches a lot so I just stopped eating them altogether.

                Re: Popcorn

                I hate movie popcorn. I hate carnival popcorn. I only like popcorn popped my way: With as little oil as possible. No butter. No salt. Kaki mochi, most preferably the yakko shape. Furikake is also good, but purely optional. Light, dry, airy, fluffy kernals are best enhanced by kaki mochi.

                The one exception: I really like that microwaved caramel popcorn, but only as long as the caramel is soft; once it hardens, it's trash.

                  Kilinahe loves to pop her own, in a cast iron skillet, minimal oil, a little more than minimal salt. Me? I'm not picky, quite lazy, and cheap. I tend to stock up on the Act II microwave popcorn and sakura-style arare at WalMart and make a simple mix twice a week to chow down during our Netflix movies.

                  When we want to live it up a little, we get those easy-breezy "hurricane popcorn" kits at Costco.

                    Green tabasco is good.

                    Chili power and olive oil is what I usually do.

                    Air-popped only. (!)

                        Nope, actually it's a local reference to a time back in the early 1970's.

                            Normally, I like it plain, maybe with a little salt.

                            The only microwave popcorn I like is the Smart Balance brand. Has enough salt and butter for me. Some of the microwave popcorns on the market have wayyyy too much butter for my liking and i feel dirty after eating them

                            but when I go to the movies, I'll splurge for the butter on my 'corn . but I never eat more than half a small bag. i dunno how y'all eat those large ones!

                              The Varisty Theater there is squeeze bottle of melted butter you can use to flavor the popcorn but it usally just does the top part of the bag. Also used Kit Kat bites in the popcorn bag today.
