Unusual Popcorn Flavorings
Saturday, October 29, 2005

When you think about popcorn flavors, there are several that immediately come to mind. For example, freshly popped kernels drenched in melted butter is the first thing that I think of. Others might think of caramel corn or cheddar cheese flavored popcorn, as these two varieties are also very popular. But there are many more flavors than just these three traditional ones, which is good news if you're a popcorn fan. Here are some of the more unusual ones that I've tried over the years.

Curry Popcorn
I think curry is one of those spices that you either love or hate; I know very few people who can sit on the fence as far as curry is concerned. So the same thing would hold true for curry popcorn. If you like the way curry smells and tastes, then you will love curry popcorn. I discovered this flavor when I lived in Japan. Though most people immediately associate curry with India and Great Britain for obvious reasons, few know just how popular it is in Japan as well. You don't have to travel all the way to Japan to try curry popcorn. The next time you get set to pop some kernels at home, simply sprinkle curry powder liberally over everything and you'll be able to sample this treat on your own.

Cappuccino Popcorn
When I was in high school, there was a gourmet popcorn shop located two blocks away from campus. I used to stop by there at least once a week to check out the new flavors. One of my favorites was the cappuccino popcorn, which I unfortunately haven't been able to find anywhere else. This is definitely one of the best-smelling, best-tasting varieties of popcorn I have ever had. The taste wasn't overwhelming at all. It was light and perfect, so definitely give it a shot if you ever come across it.

Butter and Soy Popcorn
Butter and soy sauce flavored popcorn is standard fare at a majority of Japanese movie theaters. I grew to like this kind of popcorn so much when I lived in Japan that I used to stop by the local cinema to pick up a box of it even when I had no plans of seeing a movie (the concession stand was located near the lobby of the theater, so I didn't need a ticket to buy something from there). I found that the soy was a great complement to the popcorn, and I still get cravings for it to this day.

Jalapeno Popcorn
I first tried Jalapeno popcorn over at Navy Pier here in Chicago. There is a popcorn place over there that sells this variety and one of my friends swore by it, so I thought I'd give it a try. It was wonderful! I've had several versions since then, but the Navy Pier version was the best because it packed a lot of flavor while not being so hot that I couldn't enjoy it. Now, whenever I go to the Pier, I always make sure to stop by and get some Jalapeno popcorn.
