Bloom's Popcorn Salted Caramel

Hand-popped corn with a muscavado sugar caramel. Sounds very tasty doesn't it?

And it is tasty. Very sweet, but quite tasty.

The problem with this popcorn is the popcorn. The back of the packet tells us that our jumbo-sized popcorn is hand-popped the traditional way, in small batches in steel popping pans, to give crunch and character. But it isn't jumbo-sized. Or if it is then pretty much all the popcorn I've ever tried qualifies as jumbo.

And to be honest I wasn't that impressed at all the tough little bits of kernel skin (if that's a thing) that got stuck in my teeth.

None of the reluctant taste testers were particularly enthusiastic about this popcorn. In fact, Noble Friend said she thought it far too sweet. We didn't quite finish the packet.

I have another packet of Bloom's popcorn to try so we'll see how we get on with that.
