@Kroootkin I don’t know much about it. My wife is a dietitian and eats a 99% vegetable based diet. She indicated that there is an aging process involved. She loves about anything that is hot and spicy. I’m the opposite.
They served some dishes with this spice in it once at work (a medical clinic) and everyone raved about it. I could smell a foul stench even in the laboratory where I worked. When I started to go downstairs to the lunch room, I had to do an about face. I went outside to eat my lunch.
Perhaps I’ve smelt too many nasty specimen smells over my 38 year career and my nose nerves are messed up. To me it smells something like an animal carcass that died out in a junkyard and was left to decay for a few months at a constant 80 degrees F. Then people want me to try it.
Before I taste anything it has to look good and smell good. We have a nose above our mouth so we can sniff our food to make sure it’s good before it goes into our mouth. But I can’t even get close to this so called red curry.
