The Great Popcorn Challenge of 2006I never liked popcorn as a child, teen, or college student. However, it seems as if in the past few years I have been developing a taste for the quick and easy snack. I've tried a variety of microwave brands, rejecting a lot along the During the winter, a friend of mine from the Chicago area brought me some popcorn from Kernel Fabyan's as a housewarming present. I haven't stopped thinking about it since. It was fantastic. It was Nelly's Combo Pop, the perfect combination of caramel popcorn and cheddar popcorn all tossed together in a pretty gallon sized tin. It was gone within the week. I have decided to come up with The Great Popcorn Challenge of 2006. I am going to try a varitey of different popcorns, and comment on each type. I ordered from Garrett Popcorn (another Chicago store) on Monday - it should be arriving today. I decided to stick with the caramel/cheese combo and purchased their CaramelCrisp® & CheeseCorn™ MIX. We'll have to see the difference. I don't know if it can live up to the Fab though. I think I might try Dale and Thomas next. They have a ton of tasty looking flavors, such as Chocolate Chunk N'Caramel, Pineapple Coconut Breeze, Peanut Butter & White Chocolate Drizzle Corn, Buffalo & Blue, Sun-Drenched Strawberry, Really Really Raspberry, Blueberry Bushel, Sweet & Spicy BBQ, Sweet Georgia Pecan, and Southwest Cheddar Chipotle I'm extending this challenge to the audience. Any recommendations to try next? Any DC area local specialities? What is YOUR favorite popcorn?

But when I can't get that, Orville Redenbacher all the way. Fun fact- do not try to pop microwave popcorn if you've been storing it in the fridge. This means you, rj3. Posted by: zaf at July 12, 2006 11:57 AM Find a Boy Scout or parent when they're fundraising - Trail's End is good stuff either air-popped or microwave (Despite not making single-serving size packs). The caramel corn is great (imho), and one year they had chocolate-covered caramel corn that was messy but memorable. Posted by: SEP at July 13, 2006 3:37 PM Post a comment |
