Loosing all that money in the stock market, that’s what prompted Grandpop to start popping corn in a big black kettle just like they did out west in the 1800’s .  His distinctive 21’ X 21’ popcorn tent popped up at  festivals, fairs and events.  Customers say his kettle corn is the best tasting popcorn they’ve ever had.  Some folks  who have said they don’t like kettle corn or popcorn come up and say they like Grandpop’s! Popcorn connoisseurs  have been seeking Grand PP’s Best® out ever since and asking, “where can I get it?” To help 'em out, Grandpop got some of his family together and started handcrafting kettle corn for health food stores in metropolitan Richmond, VA. Soon gourmet food stores as far north as Connecticut began stocking Grand PP’s Best® Kettle Corn.

   The best “Butterfly” popcorn (you know — not that round popcorn but really tender popcorn with fewer hulls), sugar,  and a fire cracker hot 750-degree big black kettle (don’t try this at home) is how Grandpop starts the process for authentic kettle corn. The stirring, however, is the secret that enables you to enjoy this low-fat, rich, complex flavor of popcorn and caramelized sugar with a touch of salt. So, you end up with a nutritious lightly sweet and salty snack food that’s welcome in today’s health conscious environment. Enjoy right out of the bag or microwave 15 seconds at a time and stir to warm for “that just out of the Kettle” taste.  You may also freeze kettle corn - a great idea to be sure you'll have some on hand for those late night cravings. Grand PP’s Best® ‘OL Fashioned lightly salted kettle popped corn is perfect for that light low calorie snack.  Then, you may wish to indulge in White & Sharp Cheddar — or is there another flavor you think he should consider?

 I enjoyed seeing you guys.

 

 Just wanted to let you know that my wife, at first, turned her nose up at the kettle corn because she had some bad stuff in the past.  She took one handful and the bag is now almost gone.  She said it was the best kettle corn she has ever tasted and will the fellow who makes it ship it if requested?
