[Avodah] Re , popcorn

<<Not only is popcorn not a problem, but nor is corn on the cob as long as
it is roasted on a bar b q for example and not boiled, for example. Tinned
corn kernels would be a problem too, of course

I don't understand this. Out minhag is not to eat fresh kitniyot so why
would
popcorn be any better then eating fresh peas.

Then don't eat it. It's not everybody's minhag. And the comparison to peas
does not hold water (excuse the seasonal pun).  I don't think that peas on a
barbeque works very well. They do need water to process.We can eat barbequed
wheat though. Unlike peas, corn was not in the original"kitnyot" list, and
even if one has some restrictions, there's plenty room for variations and
lenience.
