I really hope this post gets to him.

Your tinned curry is st.


How do you have the balls to put your name to an authentic curry?

ARSE!

Didn't know he did tinned curries.

I know he does sauces in jars.

I've only tried his Thai sauces and frankly IMO they're as good as you get in any Thai Restaurant.

I've seen the item in the news about two kids FROM THE SAME FAMILY of botulism poisoning.

Not sure why the sauce is immediately blamed, more likely going to be badly kept poultry etc.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of the man - in fact I thing the bloke a total tt, but his sauces are pretty good.

I don't think Lloyd puts the botulism into the jars himself.

I like them - all of his stuff I find to be damned tasty.

[bazking69]

I don't think much of his Korma sauce but he does a smoky bacon tomato sauce which is fantastic.

I must admit, for a ready made curry sauce i rather like them. They're certainly much better then Sharwoods, Pataks etc.

His Tomato & Chilli is great to add to spag bol if you are short on time

ETA as for the DM report, more likely to be the parents preparaton than the Jar!

Yes, the factory was given a clean bill of health by the FSA.

I thought only Pataks did a canned concentrated curry? It's the only one I've ever seen anyway.

We find that the sauces in his range are quite weak and tasteless, even the tomato and basil was st

Exactly!

[alfabadass]

It's just strange that only one jar seems to be affected. With the amount they sell, you'd expect people to be dropping all over the place!

It's good of them to take this precaution just in case though, but something it's strange something so dangerous popped up in just one jar so far....maybe it was the chicken...?

[Kudos]

He must be fighting back, jars rebranded and only 99p in tesco. All very good IMO

[Mobile Chicane]

I never buy jar sauces - of any kind. I find them too acidic.

I could never work out why citric acid is routinely added to tinned tomatoes when they're surely tart enough as is, moreover nicer with a pinch of sugar?

All is revealed.

Reading up on the procedures required to prevent botulin growth in canned / bottled products, apparently lower temperatures are needed to preserve acidic products - hence food acids are added. To save money in processing.

I prefer to make my own sauces from fresh ingredients anyway. Now even more so.
