Bloom's Popcorn Sweet & Salty

Tasty lightly popped popcorn from Bloom's. 

Interestingly the popcorn started out light and airy at about.... 11 o'clock in the morning. By tea time the few remaining popped kernels were quite sticky, and the last remaining bits were determined to stick in the bowl rather than go into the rubbish! So in a few hours this popcorn really changed its texture. It wasn't even particularly hot today so I'm not sure how come that happened. Maybe it's simply the sugar that goes to make the "sweet" part of the flavour.

Slightly Red Haired Bristolian taste tester had never tried Sweet & Salty popcorn and was very dubious. But it turns out she liked it almost better than anyone.

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.
