OP's mind is gonna be blown when they discover there are multiple different types of rice, too.

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Or different types of coffee.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

And different types of syrup

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's not the point. Vermont Curry is from Japan.

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 2 points 10 months ago

Chinese fortune cookies came from a Japanese person in San Francisco!

Not to be confused with Vermont Carry, which is Constitutional or "permitless" carry of handguns.

Why does it always need to be about best or most popular?

Maybe this tastes good in its own way, hits the spot in its own way, and that doesn't diminish Indian/Thai/etc curry in any way.

Then again, I do favor Thai curry over Indian curry, which I've been told makes me a monster no one should listen to...

[–] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

It is actually a Japanese product. It is Japanese style brown curry with some maple syrup, honey, and apple, or at least those flavors, added to it.

[–] MagicShel@programming.dev 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I will get curry with you.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

To Vermont!

What? Why, though???

I also prefer Thai curry, because Thai food is incredible. I mean, so is Indian food, but everyone has their own favorite flavor profiles.

[–] moody 5 points 10 months ago

Indian curry is also a very vague description. There are so many types of curry of Indian origin and they're all so different from each other.

[–] LaVacaMariposa@mander.xyz 2 points 10 months ago

Why are you a monster? Thai curry is fucking delicious!

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 2 points 10 months ago

There's people who argue about pineapple on pizza and it's ridiculous.

Food is food. And there's no wrong way to eat it!!!

Except people who put mustard on their fries

If the cheese and syrup have taught me anything, it's that everything made in Vermont is better.

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Switzerland and Canada respectively disagree.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (4 children)

I've had real Canadian maple syrup and it's better than New Hampshire's but not better than Vermont's. Sorry, not sorry.

I've not actually had real Swiss cheese, though. Just the cheese we have here in the states that we call Swiss cheese, which is really just a single type of Swiss "invented" cheese but since it's not actually made in Switzerland doesn't really count. Because it's based on bacterial cultures, it really does matter where it's made. Wisconsin cheese is very good, but I can't think of anything better than extra sharp Vermont cheddar. Ideally, I'd have both on the same board. 🤤

[–] jodanlime@midwest.social 3 points 10 months ago

I agree, Canadian maple syrup slaps and is easier to find. Vermont maple syrup slaps just a little bit harder but I can't usually find it in the Midwest.

There's also Golden Curry, but there's no gold in it.

[–] DahGangalang@infosec.pub 5 points 10 months ago

Are you implying you need to have Vermont in Vermont Curry?

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Switzerland, the place with all the holes in its cheese?

If you're celebrating Vermont cheese, you need to get out to Wisconsin. I'm a Minnesotan so it does pain me to say that they're better than us at something, but Wisconsin cheese lives up to the hype.

This isn't made in Vermont though. It's Japanese.

Similar to Green Mountain Salsa. Nothing says authenticly Mexican like Vermont Salsa

[–] CaliforniaSober@lemmy.ca 10 points 10 months ago

Better than NEW YORK CITY!

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Fun fact: In Super Troopers, there were several jokes about Thorny being Arabian, Mexican, etc because of his personal life growing up in Vermont and people were uh uncertain.

Ok but when I think apple and honey Vermont does come to mind

It's really good. We buy Montana and Otago curry from the same brand. I always found the names funny, though.

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I'm tired and out of the corner of my eye that initially looked like 'Voldemort curry'

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 4 points 10 months ago

Or the longer name: Curry that must not to be named.

Voldemort Curry: “The curry of choice for Turfs”

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 2 points 10 months ago

Oddly enough, they don’t seem to sell this in the EU or UK (though some Asian groceries near universities have a mix in similarly coloured packaging made for the Chinese market by House’s PRC subsidiary), though they sell other House and S&B curry mixes. I wonder if Vermont Curry might contain an ingredient that’s banned in the EU or something.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I mean that sounds kind of good though...
