Popcorn Shed Merry Christmas Gourmet Popcorn Gift Tin, Ultimate Foodie Xmas Gift, Three Delicious Popcorn Flavours, Gluten Free, Vegetarian Gift, Red & Green, 400g

I'm not a particularly big fan of popcorn; I certainly don't hate it but usually find it slightly disappointing for some reason. I tried to get into it a few years ago, in order to cut down on chocolate but while I usually liked the flavours, I wasn't particularly keen on the actual popcorn itself. This, however, is absolutely gorgeous. And the tin is top quality, too.My favourite is definitely the Christmas Pudding flavour, which tastes of nutmeg & cinnamon. While these can be strong flavours, they do not overwhelm here. The chocolate popcorn is also fantastic, with a rich, flavoursome taste. Apparently it's made with Belgian chocolate, which my taste buds love! The caramel is the sweetest of the three, with a pleasant butterscotch taste. However, my favourite element is the texture of the popcorn itself. I've already taste-tested, shall we say, more of it than I should have (for review purposes, of course - you're welcome) & so far, no hard pieces or un-popped kernels to break my teeth on - just perfectly cooked popcorn with a slight crunch surrounding a softer interior.If you can bear to part with it, the tin makes it a great gift. The labels peel away easily, without leaving any stray bits stuck on. The ribbon has a section which is designed to make it easy to pull apart without undoing the knot - the end of one of the separated sections even has a sticky patch covered with removable paper, so you can stick it back together again & reuse it. Last but not least, inside the tin is a piece of card which separates the three bags of popcorn into vertical sections, so you can eat all of them at once without having to mix them together.This is not a cheap product but - as much as it surprises me to say this about popcorn - it's a luxury item. And it's a large tin which holds a lot of popcorn! Having tasted it & seen how beautifully it's presented, the price seems more reasonable than it initially did. This would make an excellent gift - but if you taste some first, you may not be able to give it away!

Given as a giftGood flavour but there were far to many rock hard pieces of corn that plainly hadn’t “popped” properly. This was particularly apparent in the standard toffee variety

Flavours are weird.

Merry Christmas Gourmet Popcorn Gift Tin | Ultimate Foodie Xmas Gift | Three Delicious Popcorn FlavoursThe 3 flavours of popcorns come in a bright tin with a black bow. The tin can be recycled as a biscuit tin when the popcorn has been eaten up.It has the words merry Christmas at the front of the tin, but there are other themes to suit the occasion such as:CongratulationsHappy birthdayThank youHappy Father’s DayHappy valentines. A good choice given that the 14 th feb is round the corner. All variations are the same price too.Each of the 3 flavour are different,Caramel, Chocolate and Christmas pudding all of which are very sweet, but I don't mind sweet.You get 400g of popcorn in the tin with each flavour bagged up and nicely presented.Overall I do like the taste and the presentation, but I really don’t like the price. Given as a one off gift to impress I’d consider buying.I hope you found this review helpful

I gave this one star because of the price NOT the popcorn. It comes in a nice tin witha ribbon around it. The three different popcorns are slotted in bags into a section of the tin - a third for each.The popcorn is delicious but it is popcorn which can be bought ready to eat for a couple of quid in most places - even cinemas where most things are over priced.If you make your own popcorn at home you could fill a room with the stuff for this price,It makes a nice looking gift but there is no way it is nearly £30 worth of gift and there is no way I would ever pay that price for popcorn - it would have to be gold plated !!

First things first, this is great popcorn, fantastic even, coming beautifully presented in a tin (there's even a bow on top), inside of which sits 3 individually bagged flavoured popcorn - caramel, chocolate, and Christmas Pudding.The caramel one is awesome, two of the greatest things in existence (caramel and popcorn) and they combine them into little pobbles of sweet heaven. The chocolate one is good too, although personally I don't believe that it's a patch on the caramel one, but it's still pretty good. However, the Christmas Pudding one is an absolute delight. Caramely with a hint of spices that you might find in your hot choc at Christmas markets pre-Covid.Word of warning though, although they are all great popcorn, they are very sweet, sickly sweet even, maybe too sweet for some, but they are a great alternative snack when bingeing on Netflix/Prime/Disney+/whatever streaming service you have. They're also probably just as unhealthy as popping crisps and toffees into your mouth.Now, price... Maaaaaaan, the price. At time of writing this is £25! Twenty five of your hard earned pounds for what amounts to a mere 400g of popcorn. Granted, they are gourmet popcorn, but £25??? For £25 I would want 2kg minimum! This is eye-wateringly expensive, but, having said that, if you're a fan of popcorn, and, maybe as a one off, or even as a nice gift to someone, then this may... Actually, I'm having trouble justifying the price... I guess luxury comes at a cost.
