473574 Thu Dec 27 18:15:20 -0800 2007 24 31 Home Cooking 0 3241409 I'm doing a cocktail party in a few weeks and have a mind to do some flavored popcorn rolled up in pretty paper cones. Does anyone have some interesting flavor combinations to sprinkle on the popcorn? Probably looking for savory rather than sweet.

Thu Dec 27 18:19:05 -0800 2007 3241409 86137 purple goddess 1 3241469 So glad you asked! I swear by a bit of salt,curry powder and a small squirt of Sriacha - shake it all up and prepare yourself for popcorn heaven! Thu Dec 27 18:47:39 -0800 2007 3241409 22477 jbyoga 1 3241500 freshly grated Parmesan cheese and smoked paprika (with butter and a salt) Thu Dec 27 19:08:51 -0800 2007 3241409 24468 chicgail 2 3241585 Oooh. I already have a mix of sea salt and smoked paprika from Penzeys. These are all making my mouth water. Thu Dec 27 19:50:40 -0800 2007 3241500 34801 shannoninstlouis 1 3241581 Infuse a little olive oil with rosemary, toss the popcorn in and salt. Its incredible addictive! Thu Dec 27 19:46:29 -0800 2007 3241409 91765 AnneBird 1 3242353 My husband uses xx-hot curry (oh the beautiful pain...probably not good for company though), and also likes a mixture of salt, pepper, chipotle and pasilla powders (very smokey and wonderful). He makes his popcorn using an saucepan with olive oil and just tosses the seasonings in while he's waiting for the popcorn to pop. I like olive oil with salt and pepper. For a sweet-salty combo, I've been know to do salted butter with dark chocolate drizzle. Fri Dec 28 08:05:57 -0800 2007 3241409 88792 jazzy77 1 3242372 We're boring with garlic butter, parmesan and rosemary. It is very good, though. Also try brown butter and aleppo pepper. Fri Dec 28 08:13:13 -0800 2007 3241409 68363 JungMann 2 3242383 I second the brown butter http://johnbscigarblog.blogspot.com/ Fri Dec 28 08:15:50 -0800 2007 3242372 11854 LaLa 1 3242531 This might sound gross, but I swear it is yummy: nutritional yeast, in liberal doses as it's not very strongly flavored. I don't know if you would want to do this on its own or combined with another flavoring, but it adds a really nice nuttiness. Fri Dec 28 09:04:42 -0800 2007 3241409 113376 Olallieberry 2 3243587 This might sound even more gross, but I like mine with nutritional yeast and tamari. I adore it but the SO thinks I'm a hippy. A little messy, though, so probably not great for parties. Fri Dec 28 15:34:25 -0800 2007 3242531 65263 neobite 3 3244184 you should try it with nutritional yeast and bragg's aminos...another great combo. Fri Dec 28 20:48:41 -0800 2007 3243587 103920 goodhealthgourmet 2 3243763 I love popcorn like that! Yum! Fri Dec 28 17:02:35 -0800 2007 3242531 42734 clarecat 1 3242921 Butter and black pepper Truffle oil, butter and season salt I once had a friend that used lipton soup mix and butter - odd but not bad Fri Dec 28 11:11:42 -0800 2007 3241409 59853 AlaskaChick 1 3243013 We like brown butter, Old Bay, orange zest & chocolate and the ol' standby parmigiano Fri Dec 28 11:43:01 -0800 2007 3241409 145036 kolachman 2 3243294 I'll second the Old Bay. I was surprised it took this long for it to show up on the list. Fri Dec 28 13:39:33 -0800 2007 3243013 56762 LulusMom 1 3243379 I just did these two the other night. 1. Zaatar 2. Smoked paprika Fri Dec 28 14:13:59 -0800 2007 3241409 89493 scubadoo97 2 3243534 I was thinking that Zaatar would be delicious! I've been using cheap black truffle oil from TJ's to actually pop the corn in then sprinkling it with parm. Fri Dec 28 15:13:45 -0800 2007 3243379 10159 Ruth Lafler 3 3243711 Wow, the truffle oil idea sounds ridiculously good. Fri Dec 28 16:44:36 -0800 2007 3243534 56762 LulusMom 1 3243798 Butter and Montreal Steak Seasoning from McCormick. Spicy and gooooood! Fri Dec 28 17:22:56 -0800 2007 3241409 113872 diablo 1 3243879 Truffle salt! I prefer it to truffle oil. Also, I like spirulina powder + cayenne pepper. For 1/3 c. unpopped popcorn, I use about 3/4 tsp spirulina and a couple of shakes of cayenne. Fri Dec 28 18:05:43 -0800 2007 3241409 10604 jacinthe 1 3244150 I like these combos: sesame oil and gomasio or nori flakes (not both, it's overkill) fresh sage fried in olive oil fresh lime juice, coarse salt and chili powder that Goya yellow seasoning packet (careful, though, it stains your fingers) cumin and mustard seeds fried in butter that fried garlic garnish used in Vietnamese/Thai cooking Fri Dec 28 20:31:53 -0800 2007 3241409 10681 piccola 1 3244301 I'm another fan of truffle oil and parmesan, although I haven't tried popping it in the truffle oil. i also like to do cumin, a touch of cayenne, and finely grated cheddar. If I'm alone, I add diced avocado, but it's messy to eat. Fri Dec 28 22:32:23 -0800 2007 3241409 17827 cyberroo 2 3244614 i've been eating alot of popcorn lately and have been experimenting w/ flavor combinations. some of my favorites are: salt and ground jalepeno powder on peanut-oil popped cornn (reminds me of tim's cascade jalapeno potato chips) sea salt and wasabi powder katsuo mirin furikake salt, ground cayenne & lemon pepper soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, sesame seeds Sat Dec 29 07:18:22 -0800 2007 3244301 56183 soypower 3 3245135 Ooooh, I love it with teriyaki furikake and butter. Perfect. Sat Dec 29 11:29:19 -0800 2007 3244614 75012 jencounter
