This has to do with with the mixture of honeys and apples being associated with Vermont in Japan, though I'm not quite sure how wildly known that is or why.

[–] GrabtharsHammer@lemmy.world 74 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Like how KFC is associated with American Christmas in Japan?

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