Me too, originally from Evansville, In (now Tx) never heard of it. I make coney island spread and nobody has ever heard of that either. LOL

bolongna, cheese, onions, pickles, Miracle Whip , little honey mustard, dash of pepper. Mix in food processor, bolongna , first, then cheese, process your onions and sweet pickles. Put in big mixing bowl, add Miracle Whip, mustard and pepper.

Nobody has ever heard of it. LOL Great summer time fare.

@SharkE I've never heard of that spread either! So you actually process the bologna in a food processor? And what do you eat it with?

@Ladybug724  I saw that show, and I've never heard of it before. However, there are other recipes for popcorn salad out there on the Internet. They usually do call for the popcorn to be mixed in at the last minute. I guess it could be compared to a panzanella salad or an Asian salad with chow mein noodles. Foodwise, I'll try anything once (except fugu).

Never heard of it, but as long as it is plain popcorn (no butter) it sounds good to me.

[deepwaterdotter]

This is new recipe to this Wisconsin cook.  Doesn't even sound good to me.

I live in the Midwest never heard of it so goggled. The article stated popcorn salad has a long history in the Midwest...an example from the 1920s, a banana sliced in half with popcorn & gobs of mayo on top & the article included other recipes through the years. Does any other region want to claim popcorn salad as their own? We'd be more than happy to give it away, lol.

spread on bread eat like any other kind of chicken, ham salad.

don't process it to death, just pulse it 2-3 times, same for the cheese.

Some people grate that block cheese in it, husband just wants American Kraft cheese.

I'm thinking it must've been a pass down /family thing. Way back before my time they had what they call sausage grinders/meat grinders you clipped  on the edge of your table. Heavy aluminum things with long handle and you turn the handle and had different sizes of blades that fit.

Now days we got food processors that do the work and throw in dishwasher.

I will taste it before I judge it.  Im from Ohio and I have never heard of popcorn on a salad.

[Sooner]

No popcorn salad thank you very much.  Why do people come up with stuff like this?  The more bizarre the more they love it--the internet that is.  Anything goes.  

I think cornbread salad is pretty bizarre- but the ones I've had with black eyed peas and tomatoes in it is pretty good!

I found it on a menu in a restaurant in Cleveland in 2015. Also found it on Jaime Oliver's website (the British chef).
