Comments on: Bacon Week: Popcorn + Bacon Salt http://www.bsbrewing.com/blog/2008/09/bacon-week-popcorn-bacon-salt/ Musings from the BS Brewing Brew Crew Wed, 11 Aug 2010 17:01:38 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Dave http://www.bsbrewing.com/blog/2008/09/bacon-week-popcorn-bacon-salt/comment-page-1/#comment-16133 Dave Fri, 12 Sep 2008 17:19:04 +0000 http://www.bsbrewing.com/blog/?p=696#comment-16133 This will probably not surprise you, Brian, but I have been there and done that, but I didn't think to include it this week. Have you ever seen or heard of the movie/book called "Alone in the Wilderness?" It's a true story about a man named Dick Proenneke who goes to live by himself in remote Alaska. That's how Dick makes popcorn in the book, and I tried it his way after reading it. It was ok, but honestly, I couldn't taste that much bacon, and it was a little too greasy for my tastes.

My dad occasionally pops corn using bacon grease instead of cooking oil. Give it a shot. I’ve really enjoyed Bacon Week and I’ve got a pocorn suggestion for you.

Come harvest after the corn had dried on the cob and been taken off, we had about 40 gal of unpopped popcorn. That's a good yield from a 1 qt jar. However, none of the yield germinated the next year. Probably something due to the hybridization of the corn. We decided to do this purely based on the fact that the jar had a specific warning about NOT planting.
