Typical year-end list from the Post, but I was struck by this item:
GOOFIEST ITEM IN A DISH: Popcorn - actual popcorn - in $14.50
corn-and-lobster soup at the Carlyle Hotel restaurant. It's even less
successful than it sounds.
AKA used popcorn (successfully, I thought) in a corn soup earlier this year. I thought it was novel, but I guess it was a trend. Or was it a ripoff? Or is there any difference in the food world? Inquiring minds want gossip, not gastronomy.
William Grimes mentioned the pop corn (favorably as I recall, or at least "I thought this was stupid, but it turned out to not be so bad") in his $25 and under NY Times AKA review. Maybe that gave someone an idea.

My Mom never served a bowl of tomato soup without popcorn.
