Re: Popcorn anyone?

Seriously!? It's Jiffy Pop. Pop it on the stove. The popcorn pops in the foil.. tear it open, eat the corn and toss out the empty pan. How's that for Yankee ingenuity!!

Pretty nifty.. huh? No mess.. no clean up.. It was all the rage when I was a kid. NOW we have the air-poppers.. I'm not sure they even make Jiffy pop any longer... I'll have to look.

Re: Popcorn anyone?

Looks like they still make it!

http://www.conagrafoods.com/our-food...fy-pop-popcorn

With its self-contained stove-top popping pan, Jiffy Pop offers a fresh homemade taste that no microwave popcorn can match. Since 1959, Jiffy Pop has been perfected using the finest corn kernels to create the ultimate popping experience. It's as much fun to make as it is to eat.

LOOK!!! You can buy it on Amazon and free shipping to the UK!!

I remember watching the foil bubble growing and growing and the muffled popping sound.. You just plunk the whole thing down on yer TV table and munch away..

Oh the Welsh were and are far more ingenious than that. For 100s of yrs - well since coal sacks - we Welsh would fill an empty coal sack with popcorn kernels and then stick that in the oven. Make enough to last a month in one go. You could always tell where the popcorn was made owing to the quality of the coal dust left in the sack that would be all over the popcorn making it absolutely delicious and extremely crunchy.

Re: Popcorn anyone?

Much the same as we English and our potato sacks.

It is entirely possible to distinguish a Maris Piper sack from a King Edward
