Glowing faces, laughter and
chatting around the fire, singing songs, filled with
anticipation…..
Shhhh……listen…..
pop……
pop....pop
pop…pop…pop
Anticipation and patience are rewarded by the popcorn kernels, once tiny, round and shiny, puffing up and popping faster and faster in the pan…..
More giggles as it carries on popping when the pan lid is opened and there is an explosion of puffy corn everywhere!!
The children are so excited when we cook popcorn in a special lidded pan on the fire. It is the most frequently requested fire food treat! They are fascinated by the transformation of the little kernels.
Everyone has a little handful each to munch on after they have toasted their marshmallows…
