Does anyone know if there is a source to purchase Savoral popcorn salt? It was around before there was Flavacol and even better.

Yeah Mike I also did a search but couldn't find anything. When I started working for Malco (out of Memphis) they used Savoral before switching to Flavacol. There WAS a difference!!
After the switch popcorn never tasted the same. Oh well........

Due to the stuff currently happening, cinemas have been closed for months now over here. Although we have a professional screening room, we don't have a popcorn machine. We've been watching quite a few movies in there, to get a bit of the traditional cinema feeling, but one thing I do miss, is good popcorn. The store-bought stuff doesn't cut it. The microwave popped stuff may come closest, but still misses out on the real stuff, if it's done right. Yeah, you can easily pop some of the stuff yourself in a kettle, but you miss the buttery flavor you'd otherwise get.
So, I recently saw this German guy cooking up some popcorn on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvcEaufuaFI
I'd say, this really is a must-try... if done right, it even tastes better than "the real thing". He also has a pretty easy recipe for a popcorn salt, giving the stuff a real buttery kick, much like Flavacol, but with a much more intense butter flavor.

Hands down, it’s the best popcorn you can get outside of a movie theater.
Microwave popcorn? I can’t even stand the smell of that shit cooking. It practically makes me gag to put it in my mouth! Microwave popcorn is banned in this household.
Once you’ve had Wilrley Pop, you won’t want to eat any other kind.

I understand it's a common habit in the US to pour liquid butter over salted popcorn, sometimes self-service.
BUT - once the poporn is buttery and greasy, how do you actually eat it without leaving a nasty smeary mess on your fingers, seat, coke-bottle, etc.?

Cooking your popcorn outside on an open fire is also compliant with Covid-19 recommendations. Well, fire protection recommendations, I am not so sure...Last edited by Carsten Kurz; 01-09-2021, 09:02 AM.

Greasy fingers is one of the main reasons I never ate buttered popcorn in the projection room - - until I saw an Asian projectionist buddy of mine enjoying some in his booth using chopsticks. It works!

Depending on the time of day, they often have the longest lines, too.
Just don't forget the Amish motto: "In God we trust. All others, please pay cash."
