Popcorn

[pegkerr]

What do you like to put on your popcorn, aside from butter? I like Parmesan cheese, myself, but am looking to expand my horizons.

Salt. Lots of it.

I'm a purist.

[kiwiria.livejournal.com]

Me too!

Hippie popcorn for those of us who can't do dairy any more: nutritional yeast and Spike seasoning blend. Mmmmm.

[alisgray.livejournal.com]

uh HUH! or yeast and chipotle pepper. sometimes just cracked black pepper. I must try the cayenne and lime trick next.

[minnehaha.livejournal.com]

Bacon grease.

K.

I've never tried it, but I knew someone who SWORE by lime juice and cayenne pepper.

My housemates swear by nutritional yeast, but they're crazy people. crazzzzzzy. One of them drinks nutritional yeast and orange juice. (or maybe soymilk and nutritional yeast. He also drinks soymilk and orange juice, so my confusion should be understandable)

Popcorn and Milk Duds together are teh yummy.

[byrlakin.livejournal.com]

Garlic salt or italian seasoning.

[cedarlibrarian.livejournal.com]

The seasoning that comes with ramen noodles. Except that I haven't seen tomato ramen in years and that used to be my favorite.

I like the microwave popcorn with cinnamon (but without the sugary "frosting" that comes in the box. I haven't tried adding cinnamon to popcorn made from scratch, since I don't do that anymore, but I'm betting I'd like it.

Sugar. Was taught to like it when I did a study abroad; the Europeans eat sweet popcorn, and it's absolutely scrumptious.

Popcorn Addenda

Brewer's Yeast - the golden buttery tasting Torula kind, not the brownish yeasty tasting stuff. It adds protein and cuts the salt and butter I would be tempted to put on it.

I also sometimes do a savory one of powdered garlic, hot paprika and a touch of cayenne pepper.

I love the white cheddar.

[prunesnprisms.livejournal.com]

That is what I was going to suggest. I love the nacho cheese.

[wintersweet.livejournal.com]

My friend throws in a handful of M&Ms and shakes the bag up--they get all melty inside.

[dreamcoat-mom.livejournal.com]

Butter and Lawry's season salt. Mmmmmmm.

[aome.livejournal.com]

I have nothing constructive to add, but now I'm craving popcorn and we have none in the house. Some of those sound wonderful....

[kristenj.livejournal.com]

Melt olive oil with butter. You can add garlic salt to this also.

It sounds wierd, but a little Worchestershire (sp?) sauce.

The packet cheese that comes in boxed Macaroni and Cheese.

Throw in a handful of dry-roasted peanuts.

I've done the M&Ms and salted popcorn, too. Will vouch for yummyness!

[pinkfinity.livejournal.com]

I make popcorn on the stovetop in olive oil or rosemary-infused oil, and top it with sea salt, sometimes mixed with a bit more ground herbs.

[luminousmarble.livejournal.com]

Lawry's and butter; better yet, Johnny's Dock and butter.

In a pinch, toss hot popcorn with some sort of flavored chip like Doritos, barbecued potato chips, etc. The popcorn will seem to have an odd consistency, but it's fun. And the chips are good warm!

[rachet.livejournal.com]

garlic salt.

At the movies I used to buy popcorn and Goobers. Then dump the Goobers in the popcorn. Yum.

[amethistdolphin.livejournal.com]

tabasco, or some other dyluted pepper thingy.
Lime,

If you make popcorn in a saucepan instead of the microwave, any oil that was used for bacon, or garlic or any other sseasoning that is strong in flavour makes a killer popcorn.

instead of melting the butter or margerine, just dip the popcorn in it. very very nice. those butters or margerines with olives, herbs and such go well too.

Raisinets -- mix them into freshly popped popcorn and they get all squishy. Sprinkle salt on and you get a mix of sweet, squishy, salty and crunchy. Yum.

[copperwise.livejournal.com]

Garlic salt or chili powder.

[von-krag.livejournal.com]

Curry, butter or cajun seasoning and minced chives

[stellabymoor.livejournal.com]

m&ms

In Denmark people hardly EVER put anything other than salt on their popcorn (still my favourite way to eat them), but in New Zealand my hostmother would use sugar instead. I don't know if I like it or not... it may be an aquired taste.

not all together...

[lostbutton.livejournal.com]

garlic salt
nutritional yeast (flavor takes some getting used to, but it's yummy)

my favorite popcorn making method: the old dome poppers with hotplate type bottom or the plastic microwave poppers.

worst popcorn ever: any microwave "movie butter" type. ick.

[castiron.livejournal.com]

Garlic powder, or minced garlic in the butter while it melts.

[aeditimi.livejournal.com]

my husband puts brewer's yeast on his popcorn, claiming it makes him feel more full after eating it. It's kind of an odd flavor, but I thought I'd share.

I'm late, but hey. ;)

About ten years ago, Orville Reddenbacher had a cheddar and chive popcorn. It was incredible. <3 the results aren't exactly the same with real chive, but it's still really good.

Good curry powder mixed with butter. But not cheap curry powder -- that ends up too bitter.
