Was watching an episode of 'Frasier' a few days ago, and not germaing to the plot or scriptline, just what the characters were doing while talking.."Frasier" and "Niles" were in the kitchen, and while talking, "Niles made some microwave popcorn, and when it was done, he pulled the bag out, and emptied it into a bowl...No big shakes, hadn't really paid much attention to the actions, but as the scene carried on, 'Niles" pulled a bottle out of the fridge/cupboard, and sprinkled the popcorn wityh it...and *that* is what caught my attention, because while the bottle was small, and mostly hidden by "Niles's" hand, it is a distinctive bottle...It was a bottle of Tabasco sauce. I was intrigued, and the next time I made some popcorn, I tried this out. It was good, but seemed like there was something missing in the flavor combo at thhe same time.
Mayne I missed him adding something prior to the Tabasco sauce? i don't know.
But I thought this might be a good topic for a chat thread.
Anyone know what I missed, if anything to the popcorn mix? or have other quick tips of quick TV snack "kick ups" or tips to share?
I was thinking maybe some Grated Parm as well as the Tabasco
Microwave popcorn ? No thanks . Popped in olive oil and sprinkled with a modicum of salt works for me .
When I was in college, we used to liberally apply seasoning salt to the popcorn.
Gonna try that next. :)
I love to flavor my (properly popped on the stove, not micro-waved) popcorn with chili pepper and tamari soy sauce but I think I’ll try it next time, maybe for breakfast, with tamari and tabasco. That sounds so good!
Popcorn? C’mon, if you want a quality snack, do it up right:
2 cans of crap meat (or fresh if you can get it)
2 packages of Philadelphia Creme Cheese
1/2 cup of chopped/minced onions
1/2 cup of almonds (or cashews), crushed.
Mix all ingredients together in a pyrex bowl, (helps to leave cheese out for a half hour to let it soften up) then put in the oven (325 degrees c) for 20 to 30 minutes or until mildly toasty on top.
Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes, use favorite chip (I like wheat thins) to dip, ENJOY! :)
Sounds good...But I think I’ll try it with crab meat. ;o)
Had to log in to share this. A perfect blend.
I pop my popcorn (never the microwave bags, although I use a microwave popcorn popper and put the kernels in it), then season with olive oil and ume plum vinegar. I then sprinkle dill weed, nutrional yeast, and maybe some garlic, onto that (add after the olive oil and plum vinegar so the yeast and dill stick to the liquid). And there you go!

Clogged Artery *PING*
Oh, and yeah, I prefer Fresh crap meat over frozen or refrigerated crap. Just seems to have more flavor.
I’ll second the nutritional yeast flakes. YUM! My husband thinks I’m nuts and won’t eat it. But it’s good.
If you pop your own popcorn add the hot sauce to your oil before popping.
Mrs. LRS- “Snack early and often”...
How does the crap meat taste with poopcorn?
That's a bit too nouvelle for me! I think I'll just go with the popcorn. ;-)
I usually find it too time-consuming to pick the meat out of the crap.
For a TV snack, I love grapes or strawberries.
Do you mean "germane" (i.e., "relevant")?
Regards,
My doctor makes me stay away from crap meat.
