Author Topic: on serving butter Mitchell Dvoskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1869 From: West Milford, NJ, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 08-29-2006 10:13 AM                     But Jeff, are you going to pop it the traditional way in high cholesterol coconut oil, so that it smells and tastes right?  |  IP: Logged Robert Minichino Master Film Handler Posts: 350 From: Haskell, NJ, USA Registered: Dec 2005 posted 08-29-2006 11:52 AM                        There's no cholesterol in coconut oil (or other plant oils); it's the saturated fat that makes it delicious (plus it's got a high smoke point).  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft. Lauderdale, FL, USA Registered: Jun 2001 posted 08-29-2006 01:08 PM                     I remember a big controversy with a theatre circuit client having to defend using coconut oil due to an objection from a "healthy food" group. He had his wife and three children happily eating the suspect popcorn in publicity photos  |  IP: Logged Jeff Joseph Expert Film Handler Posts: 131 From: Palmdale, CA, USA Registered: Jun 2000 posted 08-29-2006 10:07 PM                        As I say, the Egyptian sells the popcorn, not us. I just want to add "real butter" for our 3D Expo if at all possible. We'll see how it goes.

Me: Yes, we're using the same oil we always have. Customer: SWEET!  |  IP: Logged Chad Souder Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 962 From: Waterloo, IA, USA Registered: Feb 2000 posted 08-31-2006 07:31 PM                     So can a consumer buy butter you don't have to skim? I currently buy Land O' Lakes sweet cream butter to put on popcorn I make at home and then I cut the girl's knees off one side and glue them on the other to make it look like she is holding her knockers. I don't have a huge problem skimming, but do "normal" grocery stores sell stuff you don't have to skim and if so, how would it be labeled?  |  IP: Logged Robert Minichino Master Film Handler Posts: 350 From: Haskell, NJ, USA Registered: Dec 2005 posted 08-31-2006 08:37 PM                        Try looking for "clarified butter" or ghee (you probably won't find the latter unless there's a sizable Indian population in your area). It doesn't need to be refrigerated, so if all else fails you might be able to order it online.  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 09-02-2006 03:07 PM                        quote: Jeff Joseph I just want to add "real butter" for our 3D Expo if at all possible.
