For me? Very lightly salted, little or no butter. I prefer the smaller-popping gourmet kernels over the large tasteless ones.Blue Velvet said:

oil, margarine, or butter. possibly toxic.
salted, though not too heavily
when i was vegan i found that the safeway brand here in the US has a pretty good butterless (using oil instead) microwave popcorn, so that's what i eat most of the time.
my dad is the popcorn king, though he is a bit heavy on the butter at times. he uses the stovetop kettle with kernels, then melts some butter and some margarine to mix in, and salts it. tasty.
I've never done this, but I know someone who has and swears by it (*cough*wife*cough*)... M&M's and popcorn. When she breaks that out, I usually stare at her for a few seconds, then fake barf in her direction.Blue Velvet said:
She's also broken hershey bars over popcorn...
I mean, whatever floats your boat... but UGH!
I'll take my popcorn with a little melted butter and salt, thank you very much.

Cracker Jacks, for example, included peanuts and caramel popcorn.
Boy Scouts sell cheese popcorn, chocolate popcorn, caramel popcorn.
I think it's the whole sweet-salty combination that people really like - such as chocolate covered pretzels.
Eh... not my thing. Caramel popcorn, maybe once a year. But kettle corn...stonyc said:
I'm a sucker for kettle corn. It's so addictive! You get a hot fresh batch from the farmer's market and say to yourself, "Only a nibble." And before you know it... wait, okay, only a nibble is gone. But it's a whole different story while watching tv/movie. If it gets too intense, I lose track of how much kettle corn I've devoured.
M&M's doesn't seem so bad.stonyc said:
Skittles, though?! Wow, that's pretty bad. Skittles aren't all the great by themselves, let alone mixed with popcorn.
Then again, I'm sure we all have our "weird" eating combinations. Anyone care to share?
My wife puts ketchup on turkey sandwiches, which I think is disgusting.
I put mustard on sloppy joe sandwiches, which she thinks is odd.
Wow I really do <3 you. A sandwich is just not a sandwich w/out mustard!emw said:
Strange combos... um, French fries w/ fro-yo?
Not necessarily together but I have been known to eat one right after the other-- pizza, ravioli, kim chee, and ice cream.
That's been breakfast a couple of times.
No I do dip the fries in the fro-yo... a la McD's. Give it a try, pretty tasty. By 'suckers' you mean, lollipop right? Eh... I don't do milk unless it's nonfat and in my coffee.emw said:Please, the PM's were embarrassing enough!
Fries and frozen yogurt at different times isn't such a big deal. Now, if you dipped the fries in the yogurt...
My daughter dips suckers in milk.
Nathans Hot Dogs (or some other good hot dog...not the cheap $.99 grocery store variety), spicy mustard, sauerkraut. A hot dog is not a hot dog without kraut. Maybe a little pickle, some hot peppers on the side, mmmmmm...that's good eatin'.

My son is half heartedly selling popcorn. Or actually my wife is half heartedly selling it for him. He'll be 18 before summer camp so there isn't much point in it.
On the kettle corn, one of the options is an 18 pack of microwave kettle corn. I have one for lunch about once a week.
I tried making kettle corn but ended up with some kettle corn, some carmel corn and some charred mass of unpopped kernels and sugar. Maybe waiting longer before adding the sugar...
my mom's chicken soup is my favorite comfort food.
But popcorn with TONS of butter and salt will do in a pinch.

Its sweetened with sorbitol so it doesn't taste quite right but my homemade stuff on the whole was pretty good.
devilot76 said:Yum! I don't know how I forgot that... definitely one of my all time favorite hot foods.
yep, like a warm hug from aunt bea...
seriously, whats life without mash potatos? it would be a cold cruel world.

I should be ashamed, I'm italian for chirst sake!
You should be. What would Mama say?
God, I love genuine Italian food -- I have a very good friend from Naples that makes the most amazing dish with layers of deep-fried aubergine, parma ham, mozzaralla and all sorts of things in it.
Incredible.
Hahaha I am from napoles, I grew up with the smell of fresh provolone and and rague. God, my grandma lives with us and she is the most napolitan old lady you have ever seen, she makes her own pasta and cheese and I love it but when I'm feeling down nothing sooths me like a big plate of checken and waffles.Blue Velvet said:
