What's your favorite TV snack tip?
'Frasier' | 5/29/2010 | DGHoodini

Posted on 05/29/2010 3:28:42 AM PDT by DGHoodini

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

Do you mean "germane" (i.e., "relevant")?

Buffalo popcorn.
Pop the & salt the popcorn - meanwhile in small pan on stove - melt butter - put in Texas Pete hot sauce - add a dash of celery seed - pour over popcorn - sprinkle on fine dust of blue cheese.

Caramel corn.
Or melt butter add a little Karo light corn syrup - 1/2 cup brown sugar - pinch of salt. Pour over popcorn - mix well.

“>”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.”

Well, we all have to eat $hit at some point in our lives, but I think the idea is to keep it to the bare minimum.

My dad told me about the crap meat he had to eat in WW2

“$hit on a shingle”

F/R is way more fun than TV!   ;-)

I’m thinking the tv show “Deadliest Catch” wouldn’t be nearly as good if they were crap fishing. I’m just sayin’...

You make a distinction between canned crap and fresh crap.

I am from the old school and I say everybody should go crapping.

Grab the kids, get out there, and do some good old crapping.

Pop some regular popcorn over the stove and hit it with salt, once it has been popped. Skip the butter.

Very low calorie snack.

I dated a girl once and she must have been a slut because aftewards I ended up getting crap!

After a few days, the crap went away.

Pour a box of Junior Mints over your bowl of popcorn.
