Kettle Corn

I've just been home for a visit and spent most of it eating bags and bags of microwaved popcorn called kettle corn. I'd never heard of it before so don't know the origins but it was a perfect combination of half sweet and half salty and was absolutely wonderful. I only managed to take home a 8 bag box of Orville's but am now kicking myself for not attempting to get to Costco for a bigger supply.

Has anyone else tried this?!!  

This summer at Six Flags I had fresh popped Kettle Corn and it was YUM!! and after that I saw the microwave kind in the store and thought Oh Boy! Gotta try it. But sorry to say...I was disappointed.  :-/ It tasted like someone had accidentally used sugar instead of salt on it..just wasn't the same. Don't get me wrong...the kettle corn I had at Six Flags was sweet but not in the same way...hard to explain. My mom loves the stuff...that's about the only kind of microwave popcorn she buys now.

I've never had Kettle Corn before,
but whenever i go to the cinema here i buy popcorn and ask for half sweet- half salt, and i agree... the contrast in taste is really gorgeous!  Sometimes they will ask you which flavour you want on the bottom... go for sweet on the bottom, cos alot of the salt from the top layer will trickle down and it just tastes great!

I love kettle corn....i brought some over here to the UK with me...bought a box of 8....i compare it somewhat to the popcorn at the movie theatres here..they have sweet popcorn!!! just like kettle but sweeter..loved it..wish they had it in the US.....great...
