Summary
- Selena Gomez's unique popcorn recipe with Tabasco, salt, and pickle juice
- Actress shares preference for mini wedding cake and biscuits and gravy
- Selena Gomez thriving with recent release of 'Only Murders in the Building' season 5

As of October 12, 2025, Selena Gomez's unique culinary preferences continue to captivate her fans. Over a decade ago, in a 2010 interview with Jimmy Fallon, the actress shared her family's unconventional popcorn recipe, which has since become the stuff of legend.
Gomez demonstrated her popcorn-making process, which involved liberally dousing the kernels in Tabasco sauce (shaking the bag 25 times to ensure even coverage), sprinkling salt, and then dipping the individual pieces in pickle juice. Fallon was initially perplexed by Gomez's unorthodox methods, but the end result proved to be a delicious and flavorful snack.
The 'Only Murders in the Building' star has continued to express her unique culinary preferences over the years. Recently, Gomez revealed that for her future wedding, she would opt for a mini cake for just the couple, rather than a large, traditional one. Her preferred dessert, she shared, would be her grandmother's biscuits and gravy, which she considers a sweet treat.
As of October 12, 2025, Gomez is thriving in her career, with the fifth season of her hit Hulu series 'Only Murders in the Building' having premiered just last month. Fans continue to be captivated by the actress's quirky food habits and her willingness to share them with the world.
