I love popcorn but in general, it has to be hot and fresh. I once had people over so had to make a very large amount. I kept it in my turkey roaster in a slightly warm oven. They thought it was freshly popped but I had popped it over an hour prior. And I once had someone serve me some of the stuff that you buy on the chip aisle of the grocery store. I was amazed that it tasted good. I wouldn't think that it would. The cold pizza though... That is the only way that my daughter and I like it. It's okay slightly warm. But we don't like it hot. |

I said that I have a friend who uses potato chips as the starch in her tuna casserole sometimes. And she can't be the only one because I have seen the recipe for it like that in some old cookbooks! |

I did post some links so obviously this isn't some cockamamie thing that I just dreamed up. Some of us might find it hard to believe that they eat Jezebel sauce in some parts of the US. But I'm not going to call them liars just because I've never seen it served. I also would never assume that just because my family does something or someone else I know does something that *everyone* does it. But I have heard and read about the popcorn as cereal enough to know that many people do, do it. |

And people who are older than me have told me that it is common. Have I ever eaten it? Not beyond that first icky bite. |

I thought it was ghastly. My dad sometimes put stewed tomatoes over crackers. And he always put crackers in his soup. I'm not really big on crackers but I do not want them in my soup. I may have messed up some tuna salad a little while ago with crackers. I decided to make some and used canned tuna instead of the pouch. I prefer the pouch. I thought that the canned was going to expire soon but I was wrong on that but too lazy to put it back and get the pouches. My next mistake was in using the Veganaise. Again, laziness. I had some Just Mayo in the fridge but there was only a dab left in the bottle and I didn't feel like opening a new one. And I had hoped to use up the Veganaise but unless I make a potato or pasta salad, that isn't going to happen. Anyway... The end result was a runny tuna salad. I tried to drain it. Fail. Put it in a little colander and pressed on it. Fail. Still runny. I do know that you can buy tuna seasoning with bread crumbs in it and also if you buy prepared tuna salad it often has crumbs. But I didn't feel like making bread crumbs. I did find some kind of Keebler crackers that nobody ate and were dated Jan. 1. But the box hadn't been opened. So I crushed up a few, added the crumbs and tasted the mix. The crumbs were very discernable. Blech. I am hoping once it sits for a while, they will blend in. I have just done too much today and am going to go crash soon. I have to be at the hospital for my surgery in about 12 hours now so was trying like mad to get things done and some food in the fridge because I don't know when I will be ready to do cooking and such. And I figured that tuna salad would be easy to swallow because it's rather soft. I did put some onion, pickle and celery in there but mostly it's soft. |

I've eaten popcorn with milk on it and it did taste like cereal.

One time on a float trip my young son Zach woke up nice and early, and I was slowly coming to consciousness after Fri night's partying. Zach said he was hungry so I told him to eat some of ther potato chips out from the party. Anoher young buy of a family we were on the float trip with asked his mom if he could have potato chips for breakfast and she goit kinda disgusted and said something like "No you're going to eat a real breakfast!" and I felt like sayinhg "Lady, wound you be any happier if I sliced those potatoes up and fried them and called them hash browns?"

One time on a float trip my young son Zach woke up nice and early, and I was slowly coming to consciousness after Fri night's partying. Zach said he was hungry so I told him to eat some of ther potato chips out from the party. Anoher young buy of a family we were on the float trip with asked his mom if he could have potato chips for breakfast and she goit kinda disgusted and said something like "No you're going to eat a real breakfast!" and I felt like sayinhg "Lady, wound you be any happier if I sliced those potatoes up and fried them and called them hash browns?" John Kuthe... --- Years ago I was looking through freebies online. One was for E.D. soup from Canada. They went to to say that I wouldn't want to feed my family cheap soup, would I? And how their soup was good for my family. The sample wasn't entirely free to me as I had to pay shipping. And while it did taste good for dehydrated soup, it was not what I would call wholesome. Full of chemicals and crap. From what I have seen, it is no longer being sold for home use and only for restaurants. |

You used that term. She said it was often eaten in the midwest and gave no specifics beyond that. Often doesn't necessarily equate to common. It might have been, say, a mere 10 or a dozen families of her acquaintance in the midwest who often ate popcorn as a cereal. That could be considered 'often' in her retinue. YMMV. -- Xeno |

If 100 people eat popcorn as cereal every day, that might be "often", even though it's a tiny fraction of the people who live in the Midwest (which appears to be somewhat north of 65 million people). I suppose I could eat popcorn with milk, but why bother when it's so good with butter and salt (and cayenne, or curry powder, or Cajun seasoning, or Worcestershire and seasoned salt--like Chex mix).

I'd venture to say millions of people eat popped corn daily. There's more than one brand but you've probably heard of Kellogg's Corn Pops. -- sf |

Some say corn pops come in a foil bag because they're radioactive.

in Israel: What a simple and brilliant idea! I particularly like the 'spare' seat announcement!! It's hard to beat Israeli technology. TEL AVIV, Israel - The Israelis are developing an airport security device that eliminates the privacy concerns that come with full-body scanners. It's an armored booth you step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have on your person. Israel sees this as a win-win situation for everyone, with none of this crap about racial profiling. It will also eliminate the costs of long and expensive trials. You're in the airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion. Shortly thereafter, an announcement: “Attention to all standby passengers, El Al is pleased to announce a seat is available on flight 670 to London. Shalom!"
