Food and Cooking

This might be the only food that is sweeter outside of the US, well, besides kettle corn.

When I eat it enough to get tired of butter and salt, I spritz on evoo or tamari/soy sauce. For spice blends, I really like the ones from Penzey’s, especially Sunny Spain, or something else that amounts to lemon pepper.

Trader Joe’s “Everything But the Elote” seasoning salt is pretty good. https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/everything-but-the-elote-seasoning-blend-066804

With an spice grinder it becomes a lot easier:

1. Salt, msg, chili and citric acid
2. Salt, dried out parmiggiano reggiano and black truffle
3. Salt and msg
4. Salt and nutritional yeast for that "fake cheesy" flavor

I top my popcorn with Lawry's garlic salt. Tastes great on actual corn too.

I'm not a big popcorn guy, but have a garlic/salt/pepper mix that I put on almost everything I can. I bet it'd be good on popcorn.

You could probably go with garlic salt though for something similar, if you don't like pepper. Maybe some parmesian, since that's salty too.

I'm a big fan of the Cheesy Seasoning Blend at Trader Joe's!

My goto is butter plus Aromat (a flavored msg based seasoning)

Nutritional yeast, garlic powder, msg, and salt is my go to. I mix it up with other spices too but the nutch and msg reminds me of cheese puffs. Have to start with plain popcorn though, I don't like nutch with buttered popcorn.
Coconut oil and salt is also amazing.

To get the movie theatre experience you can use oil and butter-salt (the yellow powder they use). Try peanut oil for cooking in a pot, then butter-salt, and top with drizzle of real melted butter. Obviously not a healthy choice but it’s great.

Pickled Jalapenos are delicious on popcorn

Greek seasoning or Zatarans Blackened Seasoning are good bets, more spice than salt

Cheddar cheese powder. The neon orange stuff that stains your fingers.

I always like to mix in some butter and sriracha

Grated Parmesan cheese

I have never tried this myself, but I am curious to know how well furikake works with popcorn.
