Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...Thai green curry monster…that’s what I feel like recently, trying every variety of Thai green or otherwise curry. But by far, this has been my favourite and again it’s from ASDA! I am something of a curry-a-holic, so after reading a review of someone’s Thai green curry, I just had to give it a go. There were loads of different types and methods to choose from, kits, cooking sauces etc, but knowing myself to being a complete lazy git I decided to go for a microwave meal. This is the one I found, ASDA Good for you Green Thai curry and rice. Good for me? It looked far too nice to be good for me! I must say though, that I didn’t just pick it because it was low in fat (that was just an added bonus). But it was the only microwavable Thai green curry that I could find…so me being a sceptic, I was already convinced that it would probably... Read review

Advantages: Really filling and full of flavour
Disadvantages: none

...If you are a lover of Thai food or even Chinese and curry I think you will love this product. Years ago I couldn't eat anything that was remotely spicy but over the years I have been converted and love a variety of foods. Then my father visited Thailand for a holiday with my Mum and some friends. He came back raving about the food and we all found a restaurant and tried it along with them. I fell in love with the Thai Green Curry. It has so much flavour and leaves a lovely aftertaste in my mouth. I did think though when going through the ready meals at my local Tesco's that there was no way they could make a ready meal as nice as the one we had in the restaurant. HOW WRONG WAS I? Very! This is the best ready meal I have ever tasted and cooks in no time at all. The description on the box is as follows: Thai Green Chicken... Read review

Advantages: Very Tasty, Free From Artificial Flavours, Colours & Preservatives
Disadvantages: Not Suitable For Those With A Nut Allergy

...Prices of this product added 08/11/07, Being a fan of all things spicy, I was delighted to receive a free sample of Sharwoods Thai Red Curry Paste with my monthly subscription of Fresh Magazine this month. The sample contained 50g of Thai red curry paste, enough it said to make a curry for 2 to 3 people with the addition of a few simple ingredients. Friday night in our house is usually "Curry Night", either homemade or from the local Indian takeaway. This week it was "Make It Ones Self"- I say that like that because it is usually me that does the making !!. The pale green coloured cardboard sleeve that protected the clear plastic sachet of paste, boasts that this Thai Red Curry Paste is made using fresh ingredients such as lemongrass, garlic and chillies, typically Thai I thought. Having a change from our usual Indian... Read review

Advantages: Warming, Spicy, Tasty
Disadvantages: None, unless you don't like the texture of chick peas

...You can mainly find this Thai Temple curry in the organic section in some Tescos, and in health food shops but it can be hard to find and so it’s best to buy a few tins and stock up the cupboard if you try it and find you like it. The curry is manufactured by the Really Interesting Food Co who is based in Surrey and you can try and spot it by its bright orange and black label. They also stock another one called the Thai green curry, which I don’t think is as nice as this one. It costs £1.49 for a 400g tin, and this seems to be the standard price everywhere, if you purchase it on line at specialist health food stores such as www.goodnessdirect.co.uk (but they aren’t stocking this particular one right now, just others in the range). It’s also available from edirectory. I tried it first over a year ago, and I have it roughly once a month... Read review

Advantages: Cheap and tasty
Disadvantages: It won't stay at 99p for ever

...I'm a terrible bargain whore. I can also be incredibly lazy. Combine the two when I'm shopping without a clue and very occasionally there ensues a chance serendipitous moment. Like today for instance in Morrisons. I'd resigned myself to sausage and mash and indeed I'd already deposited the bangers in the basket. All the while though, the beady eye was instinctively scanning the shelves for the untried and untested with the little red and yellow decal with '99p' on. And there it was! Lurking in the ready meals (I know, but I'm temporarily a singleton step-dad until she gets out of hospital but that won't change even when she eventually gets out - different story covered elsewhere).Special purchase Thai Green Curry and Jasmine Rice - 99p! RRP £1.99! Deep joy! Chicken's in the basket! Must admit though, I'm not a huge fan... Read review

Advantages: Too nice to stop!
Disadvantages: Too much fat, a bit too salty

...Always on the lookout for something different to try, I ended up in a Tesco store, and came across this. As I’m a bit of a “crisp” person, these were for me. ** What are they? ** These are Tesco’s own brand Thai green curry flavoured crisps. I really like Thai curry, so thought I would get these to try, I had really high expectations. ** What’s the bag like? ** These crisps come in a 150 g bag. The bag cost 95 pence from any Tesco store. On the front of the bag is a picture of the crisps in a bowl, the picture makes them look like small popadums. Also there are pictures of various spices, which looked really fresh, which made me want to try them. The ingredients are potato, vegetable oil, Thai green curry flavour, which has 18 different ingredients! Mainly herbs and spices, coconut and monosodium glutamate... Read review

Advantages: Scrumptious and Totally Additive Free
Disadvantages: None For Me

...into the 2 curries I had prepared for the main course. Marks & Spencer's have certainly done it again, not only are these deliciously scrumptious, they are totally additive free……. No E numbers, preservatives, flavourings, colours, sweeteners or stabilisers. Amongst the usual typical Thai ingredients (lemongrass, ginger, chillies, coconut milk, fish sauce & galangal), they contain 25%salmon and 24%cod. They do also contain eggs, Soya, wheat and gluten which may be a problem for some. Each fish cake also contains 235 calories. Marks & Spencer's now display information on most of its packaging on it's recycling suitability, the only thing in this case is the cardboard box, the plastic tray, film and sachet are currently non recyclable ( although the tray is actually made using 50% recycled plastics) You can freeze these fishcakes...

Advantages: Nice thick fresh crisps.
Disadvantages: They taste VERY salty and of coconut.

...After a disappointing opinion on Baileys Glide… I say disappointing because I was really hoping for such a great product… I have discovered another product that falls short of what it should be… namely Tesco Temptations Thai Green Curry Flavour Crisps. After reviewing a Thai version of A Man Apart DVD, it seemed only fitting to follow that up with an op of these crisps. I have read some incredible and inedible opinions about all sort of crisps and snacks, so I’ll try to follow that trend with this opinion – and insert my usual sense of humour to break up the boredom of this product. Firstly I have found Tesco products to vary in quality and value, but have enjoyed their crisps and snacks since I can remember. So I was excited by this product – well at least by the name and the concept… A quick flash back to the other Friday... Read review

Advantages: They taste lovely until you eat too many and then...
Disadvantages: Too hot for me! ;oP

...Those of you who read my Lamb & Mint Sensations op will remember I said I wouldn't rest until I tried the Thai Sweet Chilli flavour. Well, I can rest again as I've now got a bag sitting in front of me just begging to be eaten. :o) I only discovered the joys of Sweet Chilli sauce recently and have got to say I love the tangy but sweet flavours of it. But for this very reason, the flavour of these crisps seems strange - will this kind of flavour work in crisp form? I was pleasantly surprised with the Lamb and Mint Sensations so I'm hoping Walkers have excelled themselves yet again. oOoOo THE BAG oOoOo The entire Sensations range has the same bag but with a different picture on the front. It's a posh looking white foil bag, slightly bigger than the standard Walkers bags, with a sepia photograph of a man carrying a basket... Read review

Advantages: Taste, style, convenience
Disadvantages: Hot!

...I was a bit speptical when I heard the Loyd "throught the key hole" Grossman was now producing sauces for pasta, curry's etc but my husband suggested we give them a try as we were getting tired of the Dolmio type sauces on offer that we always try. We went for the Loyd Grossman Madras as my husband likes spcicy curry sauces but he did have a wide range available, such a Rogan Josh, Bhuna, Thai Chilli, Balti, Korma etc. The packaging was quite intriguing too, it looked more classy than some of the other sauces on offer such as the Dolmio as mentioned before. I guess it was a little expensive at £1.99 a jar but if you compare this to £5+ for an actual curry then it is a bargain. When my husband said he liked hot currys boy was he right, this was a very hot curry sauce, you definitely did need a lot of fluid to help you get through... Read review
