Well, mustard seeds are at least entertaining. They just jump out of your pot, like a tiny firework.

It's a little less entertaining when you still find the fuckers in your kitchen several months after the experiment, though...

We puff rice to get rice crispies and puffed oats will get you sugar crisps.

Can I ask how you do that? With popcorn, you can just stick it in a brown paper bag and cook for 2 minutes. Is it that simple?

You need to heat the grain in a closed pressure vessel, wait for the pressure to build up and then suddenly release it. There are Chinese popcorn machines that can do that:

You can buy them on Aliexpress but I'm too scared to get one.

My god I just realized it‘s called popcorn because it‘s corn that has popped. The joys of being bilingual…

I think there's a pretty solid evidential record that cooking foods in the microwave until they explode generally makes them worse and/or makes a fucking mess.

There is also puffed rice.
