Here's take two of the Parmesan Survival Corn I made recently. It doesn't look substantially different, but a few changes are notable. I used grated grana padano cheese intead of the green can, which was a great improvement, I used more oil this time so I didn't need to add butter to make it stick, and I added the spices to the popcorn inside the Whirley-Pop™, instead of mixing it in the bowl.
I'm pretty satisfied with the flavor, but I'm still not content with the way the cheese and Survival Spice™ mixture is sticking to the popcorn, so one more version is on the way. At the moment, I'm using 1/2 C of popcorn, 3 T of oil, 3/4 C of parm, and 1/4 C of Survival Spice™. I think I'm going to try using some Fontina cheese too, the flavor is very similar to parm, and it's meltable.
I think it's close. I sent some home with my brother the other day, and his wife emailed me:
What did you put in that popcorn? Crack? Oh my gosh! I couldn't stop eating it!!!!
Think I should add some butter back in?
That would make my home moving viewing complete. It looks like the king of snackies.
make that "movie"
And make me about a gallon of that popcorn.
LOL @ your sister-in-law. That is funnnnny...and that popcorn looks dangerously yummy!
Jules... you watch people relocate? That's kinda...
Oooooh. Got it.
;)
It's getting there. A few more tweaks and it'll be in good shape to leave it for now. Thanks for the 'moving' comments!
Okay, I guess I need to get a whirly-pop. Thanks for the R&D Scott.
Let me be clear: I am never ever ever going to make this Meth Popcorn in my house ever. Never. Ever.
I'll let you know how it turns out.
Smart, Ana, are you sure? First one's free... heh.
The latest, version 3, I made the other day included a 1/4C of fontina cheese and 3T of oil. There's more than enough topping, if I can get it to stick better. Next time will be 1/4C of oil and I think I'll skip the fontina.
