Popcorn is so lovely! I have an air popper but it doesn't use oil so while it is healthier, the salt doesn't stick and it is a little like eating Styrofoam! Pop in the bag is good too but one bag of Act II can have 300 calories in - which again isn't good either.
Now traditional pop in the pan is where it is at! Especially, if you use my trick which is to used flavoured oil. Yes, oil has calories but as it is flavoured, I don't use as much salt so it is slightly healthier. Today I used Chili Rape Seed oil - which incidentally, I did drop on the cat which did not go down well at all. The oil wasn't hot but the cat wasn't pleased and has been eyeing my shoes speculatively.
I'm not obsessed and as my motto goes "a little of what you want" is all well and good but I do try to choose the healthy version if I can. So, flavoured pop corn is where is its at for me.
