It's because there was a book called "Folk Medicine: A Vermont Doctor's Guide to Good Health" that kicked off a health fad called the "Vermont health system" in Japan. It included drinking apple cider vinegar and honey. The curry then appropriated the name for its health connotations.

I hope this isn't rude, but how did you know that?

[-] GrabtharsHammer@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I'm a huge fan of this style of curry, and went down a rabbit hole a few years ago learning lots of stuff about Japanese style curry.

[-] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Thank you! I'll have to give it a try.

[-] CaliforniaSober@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

TIL! Blows my mind as just yesterday I was buying some more S&B Gold at the store and was really curious about this brand. Cool insight.

[-] GrabtharsHammer@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

You can get a similar vibe out of golden curry by peeling and pureeing a couple apples. I add them after the onions get soft and fry some moisture out of them before the water and tubers go in.

[-] CaliforniaSober@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

Just not my vibe, prefer spicy.

I should try it once but when the recipe says “add honey” I hear “add hot sauce”. Apples sound crazy.

[-] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago

Like how KFC is associated with American Christmas in Japan?

TIL if you want Kentucky Fried Chicken, go to Japan.

Why does it always need to be about best or most popular?

Maybe this tastes good in its own way, hits the spot in its own way, and that doesn't diminish Indian/Thai/etc curry in any way.

Then again, I do favor Thai curry over Indian curry, which I've been told makes me a monster no one should listen to...

[-] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

It is actually a Japanese product. It is Japanese style brown curry with some maple syrup, honey, and apple, or at least those flavors, added to it.

[-] MagicShel@programming.dev 3 points 10 months ago

I will get curry with you.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

To Vermont!

What? Why, though???

I also prefer Thai curry, because Thai food is incredible. I mean, so is Indian food, but everyone has their own favorite flavor profiles.

[-] moody@lemmings.world 5 points 10 months ago

Indian curry is also a very vague description. There are so many types of curry of Indian origin and they're all so different from each other.

[-] LaVacaMariposa@mander.xyz 2 points 10 months ago

Why are you a monster? Thai curry is fucking delicious!

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 2 points 10 months ago

There's people who argue about pineapple on pizza and it's ridiculous.

Food is food. And there's no wrong way to eat it!!!

Except people who put mustard on their fries

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 12 points 10 months ago

If the cheese and syrup have taught me anything, it's that everything made in Vermont is better.

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

If you're celebrating Vermont cheese, you need to get out to Wisconsin. I'm a Minnesotan so it does pain me to say that they're better than us at something, but Wisconsin cheese lives up to the hype.

[-] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 2 points 10 months ago

I don't know if that hold true here judging by the picture on the box. It looks like brown gravy.

[-] ricecake@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago

Vermont curry isn't actually from Vermont. It's a Japanese style curry, rather than an Indian style, so it's a different spice composition.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 10 months ago

Add tumeric so it looks like the usual yellow. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[-] davidgro@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

This isn't made in Vermont though. It's Japanese.

It would be better if the people who think it's cool weren't there.

[-] mctoasterson@reddthat.com 10 points 10 months ago

Not to be confused with Vermont Carry, which is Constitutional or "permitless" carry of handguns.

[-] hate2bme@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Indiana and Florida too

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Ok but when I think apple and honey Vermont does come to mind

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 1 points 10 months ago

And now enjoy apple honey curry

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Fun fact: In Super Troopers, there were several jokes about Thorny being Arabian, Mexican, etc because of his personal life growing up in Vermont and people were uh uncertain.

[-] hate2bme@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Anyone that has seen the movie and is from a small town in any state can relate.

[-] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

It's really good. We buy Montana and Otago curry from the same brand. I always found the names funny, though.

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 2 points 10 months ago

Oddly enough, they don’t seem to sell this in the EU or UK (though some Asian groceries near universities have a mix in similarly coloured packaging made for the Chinese market by House’s PRC subsidiary), though they sell other House and S&B curry mixes. I wonder if Vermont Curry might contain an ingredient that’s banned in the EU or something.

[-] mechoman444@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I mean that sounds kind of good though...
