Title: No SALTED Popcorn
Post by: Parkfisch on July 19, 2007, 01:14:38 PM
Why does Disneyland Resort Paris only sell sugared popcorn ? In France it seems to be usual to have popcorn as a sweet thing, but there are many tourists from other countries, where popcorn is usually sold with salt. Couldn't both "cultures" live next to each other ?   :lol:

Salted popcorn is being sold pre-packed.  You can't buy "fresh" sweetened pop corn at WDW either, only pre-packed.  I for once had never heard of salted popcorn before I got into the DLRP thing.

I've got a friend in Germany and when I told him that French people use to eat popcorn with sugar he said "That's usual for us here es well". I was very surprised at that moment.  :D
In Austria it's usual to go to the cinema and buy fresh salted popcorn. Everything else would be seen as a mistake like sugar in a soup.  :P

In Finland it seems to be unusual to put honey or jam on your bread, because I know a woman who was very amused when she saw me eating that. She told me that bread is not a sweet food so you cannot combine it with sugared spread. Very interesting...that diferences. But there are breakfast buffets that make everybody satisfied in his / her individual way.

Yes, in the USA they sell fresh salted popcorn at Disney. I was walking down Main Street in Anaheim while eating them and thinking that it woud be nice to be able to do that at the European Main Street too.  :wink:

My American friends were disgusted when I'd put mayo on my fries.

When I was very young I put mayo on my cocoa powder - but only once.  :(
Just a ( bad ) try....  :D

What about Ireland, UK, Norway, Sweden, Italy, Spain, Portugal.... ?
Any country except Austria, where Popcorn is usually eaten salted ?
I cannot imagine that only we are "americanized" ( salted seems to be usual in the USA ).

Of course you can get both in Austria too, but it's not 50 / 50. If Disneyland was in Austria they would sell fresh salted popcorn and prepacked sweet. In the Netherlands and the UK you get both ( fresh ) in every cinema and so on ?

Post by: kurgly_bird on July 20, 2007, 05:13:54 PM
yeah you can get both fresh in cinemas usually and they often sell the toffee stuff prepacked.

I know it's slightly off topic... but in certain areas of Germany we put 'Golden Syrup' on or into otherwise non-sweet food, like bread with Liverwurst or Sauerbraten...

Always a good show when guests are in the house.  8)

I've never really been a big fan of popcorn. I used to eat, when I went to the cinema, toffee popcorn, quite nice but very sticky and messy. If popcorn is there and I havn't eaten or I'm very hungary then I'll probably have either, not too fussed.
