Portlebay Popcorn was established in 2012 and this Crunchy Kracklecorn was hand popped in The Poppery in Devon. The Poppery sounds like a place to make popcorn akin to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or a crazy popcorn shop in Harry Potter. Portlebay Popcorn make Kracklecorn by popping it in small batches with rapeseed oil and the addition of raw cane sugar, and then add a covering of their Crispy Bacon & Maple Syrup seasoning. On reading this description on the back of the bag I was intrigued how this Kracklecorn could taste both savoury and sweet at the same time. It sounded a bit like having your dinner and pudding on the same plate. I couldn’t help feeling a little apprehensive about this Kracklecorn, and yet was too interested not to open the bag. So I did. There was a strong maple syrup smell with a hint of bacon. The Kracklecorn had a mid-orange tint and a decent crunch. The strong maple syrup smell transcended to the taste with its sweetness only slightly dulled by a meaty undertone of lightly smoked bacon. This kracklecorn was sweet rather than savoury which at once confused and delighted my tastebuds. I found this flavoursome Crispy Bacon & Maple Syrup Crunchy Kracklecorn oddly moreish and would have it again. I’m certain it would make a great breakfast snack for those on the go.
