The hubby and I LOVE green curry. There is something about it that when you first have it that makes you wonder why you ordered something that tastes like a cross between crusty gym socks and week-dead fish.

Then you go away and then the cravings start.

And so began the love for green curry. There is that special flavour that is unique to it. We like it call it the “skanky” flavour. We judge each Thai restaurant by the skank level of their green curry and every type of green curry paste. We still haven’t found the perfect brand of paste, though we were lucky in Edmonton to find a restaurant that knocked it outta the park for flavour.

This sauce was a hit and the first words out of my mouth were: “Oh, this is good!……. and hot!”

Not quite the top level of skankitude we like, but a damn tasty curry sauce. And yes. Very warm.
