Savoury Popcorn; a guilty pleasure

Something which has really taken off recently is savoury popcorn and I have to confess that I am a complete addict! There are so many flavours out there now, Cajun Spice, Paprika, Lime and Chilli, Maple and Bacon to name a few and it makes me wonder how this hasn’t become popular before as salted popcorn has been around since the Age of the Dinosaurs*


The reason savoury popcorn seems to be such a hit is that it is just like crisps except a healthier alternative and I am guilty of seeing new savoury popcorn flavours and treating myself to a small pack to try.

Many food developers seem to be experimenting with products and changing them completely to get consumers talking about them. In most cases I am happy to give things a try but am somewhat reluctant to some crazy ideas. The other week I tried savoury doughnuts…doesn’t sound too bad but when I mention it was cheese and onion flavour or salt and vinegar flavour, it just felt wrong. I know you can get savoury bagels and that is essentially what it is but it still felt weird eating it.

Let me know if you have ever tried savoury popcorn and what your favourite flavour is by commenting below!
