I've loved popcorn since I was little and my dad made it every Saturday night using an old fashioned popcorn popper.
A metal container with a sliding lid on a long metal handle.
Put the popcorn in, put it over the gas stove element, wait for the random pops and then shake back and forth like mad until there were no more popping sounds.
So good warm, with a liberal sprinkling of salt!
Cinema popcorn I never liked,to me, very yellow and greasy.
Air popped is okay, a bit bland.
For a treat once in awhile I put popcorn in a bit of oil in a saucepan with a lid, and shake like mad till the lid pops open, LOL 🍿
