The question is, what did you do to upset the kitchen fairies? Better

Console yourself in that curry is no great loss. The first and last
time I was faced with curry was at a fancy schmancy Indian restaurant
in Manhattan. The appetizers were okay goog flat bread slathered with
ghee and veggie sticks in perfumed ice water but I must say the
perfume was remeniscent of young teenage vagina so quite acceptable
to moi.
When the curry arrived it was served in tall ornate cylindrical metal
thingies that seemed half filled with lamb fat, what a schtink!!!;
BLECH. I had ordered chicken curry. I sent that lamb grease back and
departed, that was my first and last affair with Indian food... had
to be 45 years ago. No Indian food will ever get another chance with
me. I do NOT do lamb.... I'd much prefer calves liver. I don't think
Indian peeps have clue how to cook... only thing culinary they know is
which hand to wipe their butt.

Well one just has to shrug one's shoulders and plan on something else to
eat on the following nights. The coffee mug was bought from the potter
and I've been using it for at least 25 years. I suppose it's a wonder
that it has lasted so long.

If you had been attending to the task at hand instead of fellating the guests this contretemps might have been avoided...

It seems like it never can be the run of the mill things, instead things
that mean a lot. One year our Christmas tree fell and broke some of my most
treasured ornaments, given by people who were no longer with us, but I did
put the pieces in saran type bags, tied them with ribbons and still put them
on the tree, it adds character to the tree.

That'll teach you to use glass in the kitchen.... professional
kitchens ban glass same as pools.

My condolences for your loss. The Hawaiians know the value of curry and eat a lot of curries. It's a comfort food over here. Back in the old days, there was beef curry stew. My future wife and I would buy a Hawaiian curry stew plate lunch from the lunch wagon when we were going to the University of Hawaii. We'd sit on the grass and share it. It is something we'll remember to the end. In the early 80's Japanese style curry houses begin to pop up around here and we really dug that. The later decades would find Thai/Vietnamese curries becoming popular. The one curry that never because popular over here is Indian style curry. Why is that? Beats me.

Because it's spicy. Japanese curry is bland.

Incidentally, the word "curry" comes from a Hindi word, so Indian style
is the original.

Hi Cindy,

I agree that most Japanese Curries are of a medium heat (or mild) but
it also varies a bit by region. Since I lived on Kyushu, many of the
foods had a fair Korean influence.

One of the things I really liked was the Japanese version of KimChee.
Now that takes a little explaining. They make one that can't be told
(by me at least) from the ones in Korea, but they add other types that
we called 'fresh KimChee' (not fermented, just wilted in salt water
then lightly rinsed to leave some of the salt on). It tends to be
milder spiced and has a background hint of a little vinegar someplace
(not much, just a touch). Think of it as a little bit of a cross
between pickled vegetables and Korean KimChee. Tends to mix in other
colors.

When I hear "Japanese curry", this is what I think of:

What you believe about this rock doesn't have much merit. You don't have a clue about what us guys like. We love spicy stuffs!

A more likely explanation is that there are more Japanese and Japanese restaurants in Hawaii than Indians and Indian restaurants. There was a place a few years back that served Indian style and Japan style curries. The gimmick was that you had to vote for the one you liked more. I liked the Indian style more but that doesn't change the fact that Japan style curry is king on this rock.

Better to bin than take a chance on glass in your dinner. I'm sorry
about the lid, the coffee mug and the meals.

My wife likes the fresh kim chee that the Korean guy at the mall makes. She says that it tastes like the kim chee her mom used to make. It's fairly intense. It has a strong acetone taste to it. Hopefully, it's not acetone.

I have not tasted the Japanese version - perhaps I will someday. We have a Hawaiian version of kim chee that has some Japanese influence on it. It's simpler and milder than the Korean version with less garlic and chili pepper and includes ginger, sugar, and vinegar. It was the only kind that I ate until I met my wife. She used to eat a lot of Korean style kim chee.

What you're saying is that most Hawaiians are racist.
I already knew that from your posts.

I love that one and it's the mild version. It's almost a savory added
brown gravy. I went more for the medium myself but even the 'hot' in
tht brand isnt that hot.

Sniffing about, the bread is finishing off. This was a a simple
buttermilk and white flour with Italian seasoning and added chives.

No problem! I learned KimChee in Korea and only later saught it in

an 'American hot' level and frankly, we like that too.

So, three meals gone. What did you decide to cook afterwards? If you
posted about it I missed it. I'd probably have just made some
scrambled eggs and toast.
