How do you like your popcorn?

[SpAmRaY]

I like popcorn with extra butter and white Cheddar seasoning and krazy salt.

Am I the only one who thinks pickles are gross?

ABANDON THIS THREAD!

Remember the popcorn thread?

I do not, go bump it mang!

as girlshark wizbro commands

Danke bro!

I love popcorn, all ways. Mostly with just tons of salt and butter.

I used to make popcorn with chicken soup powder as a seasoning and I would then layer it with shredded cheddar cheese and give it a quick nuke in the microwave. just enough to soften the cheese but not make the popcorn soggy. Yes, its a little bit of work and a little unorthodox but its quite the treat! Oh!, and butter too of course!

When I lived in Colorado there was this Mexican guy who came by the apartments everyday with Mexican popsicles and tamarind popcorn balls on dowels.

Old school thread, nice. Kettle corn or movie theater with no butter and extra salt.

Define "Quick nuke".

I once microwaved already popped popcorn and the outer skin of the popcorn (brown kernel stuff) started sparking...

Never again...

Well, its been ages, but if I remember correctly it was a series of quick nukes of about 10 seconds at a time. gotta give those starch puffs time to relax! they are starch right?

Not quite...Corn is still a veggie, except it exploded

Its a pretty cool food, popcorn. I mean, its a small bit of moisture within an otherwise dry kernel that heats to the point where the outer shell gives way and POP!! the starch within forms this white....thing.

 "starch granules do not explode, but expand into thin, jelly-like bubbles. Neighboring bubbles fuse together and solidify, forming a three-dimensional network much like a sink full of soapsuds. This is the white fluffy solid we eat".

What a great thing!

Popcorn science...

So what what determines the shape of the kernels?
Why are some just round, with tiny specs of brown dots, while others turn into a 3D "club"?

[YoungMichael88]

Who knows!! It's crazy!! Popcorn is just too crazy to think about!

[paicrai]

Away from me.

[Halverson]

Away from me.

Come closer to me, babe

[paicrai]

Away from me.

Come closer to me, babe

As long as the popcorn stays away from me, I'll come as close as you want.

I like my popcorn airsealed. In the trash on its way to a chemical treatment plant....

I really don't like the stuff.

[fohat.digs]

hot, salted, and buttered

on a *very* rare occasion I might add a light bit of soy sauce or Parmesan cheese.

Alton Brown did an episode of "Good Eats" on popcorn that is very amusing and informative.

Love me some jalapeno powder in my popcorn.
