postjack Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 All my life, no popcorn has ever been fully acceptable to me. Suggest to me a popcorn that is acceptable. Greetings from the Sunny South! -postjack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinp6301 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I personally like [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Orville-Redenbachers-Gourmet-Popping-3-Count/dp/B000CSPEYW]Amazon.com: Orville Redenbacher's Gourmet Popping Corn, Kettle Korn, 3-Count Boxes (Pack of 12): Grocery[/ame] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grawk Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 My wife buys gourmet popcorn, like specific varietals and the like. But mostly I can't tell the difference. I just buy the largest kernels I can find, and pop them in olive oil. Coconut oil is better, but I'll be damned if I'm keeping that nasty stuff around. Then the real trick: super small salt grains. Popcorn or pickling salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fungi Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I like the stuff they sell in big tubs, already popped, coated in caramel. I don't like popped popcorn in general though. \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhymesgalore Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 you're completely right about the salt. Salt on popcorn.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhymesgalore Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 without sugar, popcorn ain't popcorn; it's half-finished crap in a bowl. fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ojnihs Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 without salt, popcorn ain't popcorn; it's half-finished crap in a bowl. salt + popcorn = deliciousness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhymesgalore Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 takes all kinds, i guess. Well, i think it's all about what one is used to. Here in Germany Popcorn is nearly always sweet, so you grow up with it. When i was in the States i bought a bag of honey butter popcorn, believing it was sweet. ( I mean honey and salt?...) Imagine my suprise when i spit the first bite all over the floor.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBLoudG20 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Trails End popcorn. Best there is IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Microwave -- Bearitos: I prefer the salt-free kind, they also have lightly salted. If you want the kind with butter flavor or more-than-lightly salted, I'd go with Newman's Own. But the best popcorn is Orville Redenbacher, air-popped. You can also salt/butter/cheese/caramel/cinnamon/sugar/pbj/whatever to taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 not a huge fan of it, wouldn't eat it unless i'm at the movies or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chekhonte Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Popcorn kernels popped in hot oil on the stove with very light butter and put some tamari or soy sauce mixed 50/50 with some tariyaki sauce in a spray bottle and spray some of that on it. Best popcorn ever. If you don't want the cholesterol then you can skip the butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fierce_freak Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 < huge fan of popcorn. I use Orville Redenbacher popped in one of those big silver mixing bowls on the stove, using canola oil. I've read that peanut oil is even better, but that's expensive. I usually season it with garlic salt/powder, fine-grained salt like pickling salt, butter salt, and actual melted butter. Verah niiice. Parmesan and Red Hot is nice for a change. For microwave popcorn, I use cheap old Weavers, then I put a liberal amount of cheese powder my fiancee's mom gets from the Amish market in and shake it up...that's pretty damn good. If you want to go deluxe with microwave popcorn, I like Orville Redenbacher's Pour Over series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
