"The g*d@mmn3d Germans got nothin' to DO wid it!"

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.
Well I certainly didn’t mean a bunch of olives! Thanks for the correction. >;o)
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.

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”
I read that 'recipe' and had to laugh. I think you do win the typo of the day!
F/R is way more fun than TV! ;-)
6SJ7 had the best line.
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.
Don’t worry too much, it made all of us smile.
Pop some regular popcorn over the stove and hit it with salt, once it has been popped. Skip the butter.
Very low calorie snack.
Thanks for that, I’m going to call it a day and see about pinching off a loaf, LOL
Bigot! /S
I have heard people say “eat sh*t and die”.. .... Is this the recipe for it?
ping
Who me? Some of my best meals are made with olives. :)
I like to sprinkle some romano cheese on my popcorn.
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.
I think it’s execrable, how people keep rubbing your nose in it.
They do make popcorn seasonings to sprinkle over. I have ‘Kernel Seasons’ Parmesan-Garlic and White Cheddar seasonings. However, one of MY favorites is J & D’s BaconSalt! Bacon salt makes the popcorn taste EXTRA yummy!
(Not only that, but the company supports our troops overseas with “Operation BaconSalt”. They send pallets of the stuff for free to distribute to our troops in Iraq & Afghanistan. Buying this product helps a company that helps our troops!)
I *do* love bacon, but I am skeptical about liking it with popcorn. I’ll have to give it a test try if I can find a place that sells them by the single container.
BWAHAHAHA.......LMAO!!
You owe me a beer...and a keyboard!
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.
Thank you for this, pinging for after work
If you go to www.baconsalt.com, they have links to where you can buy the stuff. It is available in most states.
Get your wife up to make popcorn and get you a soda.
Fresh crap meat????
I sometimes throw a few crispy strips of bacon in the food processor, pulverize it and get some bacon dust. Then I sprinkle over the corn. mmmmm, bacon corn.....
The famous Jessup recipe. See post 6.
