Ramblings about Peruvian Popcorn

Peru has much better popcorn (for making at home) than in the United States. I forgot how much I love it. The kernels are smaller, but that's not it, because I like the larger kernels in the states. I think the difference is that we use sunflower seed oil here, instead of canola. It gives it a great flavor.

With that said, the movie popcorn is NOT as good as in the USA. It's not the popcorn, it's the butter, of which they don't have any. It's probably healthier for you than in the USA, but it is very dry. The salt they have for you to shake on it doesn't even stick to it, it's so dry. I buy it anyway because it is cheap. It doesn't cost you an arm and a leg to go see a flick here. On Tuesdays, a movie for two, refillable popcorn, and two large cokes will not set you back more than $15.

Betcha didn't know that!
