In a close to apocalyptic world what seems to be chiefly missing right now is toilet roll, hand wash, rice, and Thai Green Curry. I can't imagine anywhere has run out of quinoa, as it's possibly a little too pretentious. Apparently this Thai Green Curry, Rice & Quinoa pot can be considered as one of my five a day, which could be pretty useful as recently we've been struggling to buy fresh fruit too!
Thai Green Curry is one of my favourite curries and the manufacturer's seem to have stopped making ready meals of them at the moment. I can't blame them as it's pretty scary out there right now, so if you are able it's just best to stay inside until the experts give us the all clear, whenever that may be.
I've recently had a few Thai Green Curry pot noodles lately, and this Thai Green Curry, Rice & Quinoa by Prep Co. was another one in the Foodstufffinds's stock cupboard. I'm supposed to be handing over a few items to Cinabar and writing more about beer to even the load, as the shops are a little too difficult to get anywhere near at the moment. So we're relying on deliveries from supermarkets, but they are few and far between. Cinabar has already been known to start an online order at 3.30am just to get a delivery slot, as the websites are completely blocked with traffic during the day, and there am I sleep drunk shouting things like beer, sour sweets and scampi at her whilst lying half asleep on the floor. Fortunately we've just had a delivery of toilet rolls!
The main problem I've found with a few of these Thai Green Curry pots is that they can be pretty heavy on the lime leaves or lemongrass, which makes them often taste a little like eating washing up liquid. As you can see from the photograph on peeling back the lid of this Prep Co. Thai Green Curry, Rice & Quinona it was half full (or half empty depending on how you look at things) of rice, quinoa, and lots of diced vegetables such as carrots, green beans, red peppers and also tomato pieces. After adding freshly boiled water and leaving the pot to stand with the lid on, I noticed the smell of lime leaves and lemongrass wasn't particularly overpowering. The same can be said about the flavour, as I could taste the spices as well as the mixture of vegetables. I had some toast on the side and found this a hearty and very flavoursome Thai Green Curry, rice and quinoa pot. I'd definitely have this again, it's probably my favourite Thai Green Curry pot so far.
