Strange flavours for the Strange Festival. As part of the mid-winter arts event’s inaugural film season Exhumed, festival director Glenn Watson has unveiled five very unusual popcorn seasonings to help cinema-goers have a truly strange experience.
Glenn Watson collaborated with Joe Camilleri, the chef behind barbecue rub maker Smokey Joe’s Rubs, on the strange range.
Joe suggested 17 different flavour combinations before the festival co-founder picked the five weirdest — bacon and anchovy, wasabi chocolate, seaweed habanero, banana and pickle, and beetroot and garlic, or Vampire Slayer.
