TJ's Tuna in Green Curry Sauce - tried it last night
Someone recently mentioned this product and the Tuna in
Red Panang Curry Sauce on rfc. They sounded good so I got some the next time I went to TJ's. Last night I had the green curry over rice noodles. It was good flavor-wise, but boy was it hot!!!!! I'm sort of medium in my heat tolerance, so it wasn't too hot to eat, but I don't enjoy a whole plateful of something that hot. I like my heat in dribs and drabs. I was disappointed because the tuna itself was excellent in quality and I like the idea of having this on hand when for times when I don't want to cook. I hope the Red Curry is not as hot, but it probably will be. They should put the heat level on the box! Kate -- Kate Connally If I were as old as I feel, Id be dead already.

Your hot might be someone else's not so hot. However, it would be helpful to see one of those colored scoville-scales on the label (the one that resembles a thermometer). I've been pondering about buying the green curry. I like heat, so if it's medium I'd like it and so would everyone else... except my son-in-law, whose stomach can't take anything hotter than a bell pepper. -- Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground. |

The green curry has coconut milk, so I don't think that accounts for the difference in thickness. Kate -- Kate Connally If I were as old as I feel, Id be dead already.

I looked at my nearest TJ's (northern CA) a couple of days ago but didn't spot them. I was behind schedule so didn't have time to ask. |
