He had a metal popcorn basket that he would shake in the fire and the corn would pop right up. We always had melted butter for it.<br />I remember that taste even after 50 years. <br />Sometimes it was burnt too. LOL!<br />Thanks for reminding me of pre microwaved popcorn.<br />Happy ABC Wednesday.<br />SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080984325144354995.post-29529044447728599172009-11-04T15:57:09.943+01:002009-11-04T15:57:09.943+01:00When I was a child, we always made popcorn on the ...When I was a child, we always made popcorn on the stove, but the real thrill was when they came out with Jiffy Pop. That was the little disposable aluminum pan with a handle. You shook it over the burner and as the popcorn popped the foil cover puffed up and up.
