Whenever we've seen popcorn for sale, it's either caramel corn or sugared corn. Kim and the kids love it, but I never developed a taste for the stuff. As a kid, I used to buy Crackerjacks at the beach, but I only wanted the prizes. But that was OK, since my aunts, who used to bring me, would happily gobble down the popcorn and nuts, along with a considerable quantity of sand. I like mine with salt and a small amount of butter, but haven't been able to get that here.
Unpopped popcorn is sold here in small bags in grocery stores next to the dried fruits.
They've never heard of microwave popcorn, as far as I can see. Fast food, slow eating he French consider eating to be important. They make time for it. So drive-throughs are almost nonexistent here, and Fast Food hasn't made much of an inroad. These sandwiches are invariably served with one lettuce leaf and enough mayonnaise to harden your arteries where you stand.
