When my wife first moved in she made me watch all of Little House on the Prairie. Ever since then popcorn has become a regular thing here. It’s a perfect low calorie snack.
My standard is peanut oil and popcorn and a little bit of koshi salt on top once it’s done. I just use a standard pot for making mine because I’m not about to deal with a popcorn maker.
Sometimes we’ll shave some red dark pepper chocolate just sprinkle on top. Sometimes my wife wants Raisinets in hers.
Rarely I’ll use Bacon fat instead of peanut oil. On extra rare occasion I might use duck fat.
We never put butter on it because we don’t tend to stock salted butter, although that is changing now that I’m making more sourdough. So maybe I will add some water to it in the near future.
What are you doing with your popcorn?
Cost per person: 38¢
Flavacol is just an artificial butter flavor with salt made into really fine particles. But you are correct, any time you’ve been to any business or place that had a popcorn machine you can pretty well guarantee they are using it.
I used to make the popcorn at Target and it’s what we used.
Oh it’s also cheap as shit and the carton will last you forever so just pick some up if you are curious.
Yup!
But I’ll say this-- there are many, many butter-flavorings out there for popcorn, and yet “Flavacol” is the one repeatedly, commonly used in the popcorn sales industry at large.
Personally, I would guess that tells a certain tale, amigo.
