Find Best Price at Amazon"I decided to make a huge bowl of these 'ball park' type nacho's and immediately they were gone and rave reviews on how good they were. The can is 6lbs & 10-ounces, I took a plastic lid off my coffee can to cover it for the fridge and it works great. You wouldn't want to sit down and eat a half a can a day or anything, but it's still nice to say 'wth' every once in a while and enjoy life and great tasting food."
"I put the cheese sauce in a container with a tight lid in the fridge and then just spooned out what I wanted onto a paper plate and heated it in the microwave to go with nacho chips."
"Best canned cheese sauce ever!"
"This is sooooo much better than the Que Bueno cheese that we used to use."
"My mom worked at a high school and brought this stuff home once."
"Always like this cheese sauce I buy the other one chef mate also because it comes with jalapeño and I love jalapeño will continue to buy both products."
"Perfect cheese for homemade nachos, chili dogs or as a cheese additive to any broccoli dish, Etc."
"We have movie night at our church and used this product to make nachos."

"I would recommend bringing some heat with you like pepper flakes or something to give bag food a little more zing."
"This was delicious as i backpacked chile - and was the perfect mix of sweet and hearty when i was craving a sweeter meal."
"It does seem as though Mountain House directions are a bit off though, and their products always come out slightly on the soupy side."
"The first serving was with the product being added to boiling water in a large measuring cup."
"Pretty good, meat is a little chewy but still not bad, also a little sweeter than I prefer but again not bad."
"The biggest draw is that it's light and has a lot of food per bag."
"I shouldn't have to warn you, but if you're one of the McDonalds crowd who can't figure out that hot coffee is very hot and you're prepping this in the packet, don't hold it in your hand while pouring the water in. Find yourself a flat surface to stand the packet up on and then pour your boiling water in."

Best Curry Sauce
Delicious and mildly spiced curry made with tomato paste and simmerd with onions and garlic.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"cubed chicken and marinate in full fat yogurt with some tandoori masala spices. roast the chicken in the oven on a baking sheet unless you have some crazy authentic tandoori from India then use that. the product under review, butter chicken curry paste from "kitchens of India." This is not the authentic method exactly, since I cheat with curry paste since the spices are difficult to find, and a pain in the ass. Adding the tomato purée, and heavy cream give you something legit. Making a mock version of tandoori chicken to add to the gravy is worth it."
"A favorite curry paste.I can't always find it at my local grocer, so directly to my door is convenient."
"We always add additional garam masala and at the end of cooking, we mix in appox 1/2 to 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt to make it creamy."
"We are having friends from England on Saturday and that will be the acid test. Brown your chicken parts in oven with chopped onions, cook 2/3 the way then add water."
"I added grated fresh garlic and ginger root when I cook chicken."
"If you are like me and can't handle too much heat but your spouse likes the heat, add yogurt and cheese on the side to make it extra mild; or if you cook with vegetables added in it eases the heat and saltiness."
"It was a bit strong."
"If you're someone who cannot handle spicy foods at all then this might not be the product for you."

Best Fish Sauces

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"My experience and opinion of Red Boat formed in the context of having used other fish sauces in the past, so I'm reviewing this one by comparing it to those. Red Boat reminds me of Tiparos more than Three Crabs, in that it strikes a very nice balance in the strength of its flavor. More than either of the other brands, Red Boat has an incredible depth and complexity of flavor. Red Boat is like a fine Bordeaux—a bouquet of flavors, a medium-to-full body, deserving of appreciation on its own, but getting along splendidly with others."
"Red Boat was recommended by Nom Nom Paleo."
"The best fish sauce I have ever used!"
"When my local grocery store stopped carrying fish sauce, I turned to Amazon and wasn't disappointed."
"They did however tape the lid securely so that it wouldn't spill out, but I did get a few drops on my hands that leaked out into the tape."
"Great stuff."
"Fish sauce reinvented - takes recipes to another level."
"Got this in and remembered that several people were concerned by the price but this is a 17 oz."
