    Out of curiosity, what is the difference that would make one gross and one good?
    Curries actually vary quite a bit by cuisine.

    Almost all Thai curries use coconut milk as a base. Thai curries are made from a paste involving chilies (various colors), coriander, cumin, lemon grass, fish sauce, shrimp paste, etc. The flavors blend wonderfully with coconut milk.

    Most Indian curries use cream, yogurt, or tomato paste as a base. The spices are typically in powder form and come from fresh ground cumin, coriander, fenugreek, turmeric, etc. You will occasionally see coconut milk in Indian curry, but usually not.

    Japanese curry always comes in a roux. It has its own unique taste, but it is more Indian than Thai. It is thicker than the other two varieties and most closely resembles a stew in terms of ingredients and texture. The flavor just seems incompatible with coconut milk and I have never heard of it prepared that way. The best accompaniment to Japanese curry is pickles. Preferably Japanese pickles.

      Also, the spice levels on the House curry are mild. Following MBN's suggestion, we like to mix 1/2 hot and 1/2 mild. But it is still very mild. Just a slight kick.
      In our house is hot with no mixing of mild in with it. The hot is not hot enough, I couldn't imagine reducing the spiciness of it.

            Japanese curry hits the spot when you're snowed in. I love Japanese curry.

              Recently, I picked up the java curry instead of the kind that I usually pick up. This was a great mistake. I prefer the House Java Curry over the others that I've had. It is a spicier curry which makes it a lot better, IMO.
