Popped

So another two days, another two dollars. Actually, I have no idea what in the slightest this has to do with eating locally. Anyways, I made a rather interesting discovery today. Not a discovery really, but I remembered something really awesome; I had local popcorn in the cupboard. Now, it’s not the type of popcorn you would expect to buy at a grocery store. This type of popcorn is completely local, and instead of being popped in a bag of kernels or in a popcorn machine, it is popped right on the cob inside of a paper bag in a microwave. After remembering I had this popcorn, I was super excited to try it, and I followed the instructions and put it in the microwave. Things didn’t go as well as I had planned. After the full time had elapsed, only about a third or less of the kernels were popped, so I put it in for more time until just over half were popped. All in all, I ended up with about half the kernels being unpoppped, and of the ones that were popped, a lot had a slight burnt taste to them. So, it was great being able to eat another local snack, and try something fairly unique, but if you are thinking of getting popcorn like this, I would advise against it, as it really isn’t popcorn that you will be used to.
