You first 🍿

ItsTheGAGGGGGGGGG · 15/10/2024 22:12

LOVE it. Salt only though

teatoast8 · 15/10/2024 22:13

Love it

ilovelamp82 · 15/10/2024 22:14

Sure. You?

TheLadyIsAVamp · 15/10/2024 22:14

I love all kinds apart from plain. Recently had the Werther's original popcorn, it was very good.

Grepes · 15/10/2024 22:16

No

LittleMissPollyHadADolly · 15/10/2024 22:16

No.

I'd rather eat cardboard.

In fact I believe it tastes the same except that cardboard wouldn't make me choke or get so badly stuck in my teeth.

LittleMissPollyHadADolly · 15/10/2024 22:17

Now now, let's stay calm kids.

Yes, but only salted. I could eat loads of it.

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 🍿

I don't understand why you couldn't put this in your OP instead of an instruction to "Discuss" like we're children & you're the teacher.

Makelikeatreeandleaf · 15/10/2024 22:27

No. Dry, sticks in your teeth. A pointless waste of calories. Butterkist used to be ok ish for a bit, but it's not like it used to be, so all a bit sad really.

RaraRachael · 15/10/2024 22:47

M and S used to do a butter toffee popcorn that was absolutely delicious. I haven't seen it for ages so it may have fallen foul of the food police.

Hate the salty kind and as for mixed bags ...... 🤑

LittleMissPollyHadADolly · 15/10/2024 22:17

Now now, let's stay calm kids.

Then don't poke the bear.

'Discuss'

is obnoxious!!

yes I do but with melted butter a salt

OR

Butter caramel

NEVER MIXED!!

User990 · 15/10/2024 23:02

No. I'd eat it if it's covered in butter, sugar and spices but then might as well have something nice.. (🍫)

ImADeadGirlWalking · 15/10/2024 23:04

Joe&Seph's chocolate popcorn only!

FionnulaTheCooler · 15/10/2024 23:06

The popcorn you get in the USA is amazing, with the "butter" topping that you don't seem to get here. They also do a cheese flavour popcorn that is lush, you could get it in Farmfoods for a bit but they discontinued it, not seen it for ages now.

Bamboozie · 15/10/2024 23:07

Sweet and salty together, throw in lots of chocolate buttons. Then it’s perfect.

Niceeyessweetheart · 15/10/2024 23:15

Only salted

IhateHPSDeaneCnt · 15/10/2024 23:15

Love it. Pop kernels in butter whilst simultaneously warming up maple syrup on the side, girdled with tons of butter and sprinkling of Malden sea salt and Cayenne pepper. Mix into popcorn once 'popped' - pure filth and best to be eaten in private; perhaps under cover of a duvet with head torch allowing you to indulge in other perv behaviour e.g reading Daily Mail online.

Why do people refuse to talk unless the person asking talks first? Its popcorn? Dont engage then. She aint knocking on your door asking for your national insurance number, date of birth and mother maiden names. Its fucking constant. Why dont YOUUUUU go first OP 👀👀👀👀👀👀

Yes, i like popcorn.

It's rude to simply say Discuss. And nothing else, like it's an exam question.

LittleRedx · 15/10/2024 23:26

So dont discuss then?

Enko · 15/10/2024 23:26

With salt yes not sweet.

I also like rice cakes
