Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you…
…popcorn.
Popcorn, that is, that has been popped in natural lard obtained from the nice farmers who sell me fresh milk each week.
And generously salted.
The first handful is okay.
The second handful is "Hmm, that's pretty good. I mean, if you like lard."
The third handful is… aaahh, who's counting?
Alternately: popcorn popped in lard and drizzled with a 50-50 mix of cultured butter from pastured cows, and pure maple syrup.
(Discovered during an attempt to make something that would approximate "Iroquois snow food" for the children's tea snack/history lesson.)
(Yes, we know the butter isn't very authentic.)
(Hannah observed to me: Next time we should try duck fat.)
