{this curry, the most deceiving of all, has shrimp paste added to a GREEN curry. silly sinister curry crafters, why?}

{panang or RED curry, I can see the logic and maybe my own lack thereof landed me this unfriendly mixture containing shrimp paste. my bad!}

I’m allergic to shrimp eeeek! It’s not a problem because shrimps are big enough that if I set my mind to it, lobsters and shrimps won’t accidentally fall into my mouth. Ever subversive, however, are the pastes. It has it’s ways and wits about it, sneaky sneaky that one. Imagine my alarm when I noticed I didn’t notice the fine print. I was just so lost in the excitement of locating such wonderfully authentic curries, now boo!

These brand new still sealed cartons of curry deserve better than my dusty top shelf of the forgotten. It gets rowdy up there in the slums and I simply don’t think they can manage gang activity. So to rescue them from a life of despair I will mail them to you, as the winner of the In Your Face Shrimp Paste, Free Curry Contest!

The rules are easy and I probably won’t notice if you don’t follow them given how observant I am:

  • On the subject of curry, create a poem, a haiku, a jingle, raps, rhymes, silly arrangement of words that make me giggle, go deep, go shallow, go funny, a full multimedia assault!, all submissions will be considered equally.
  • The prize will be the two exotic and fantastic curry pastes you see before you, who knows what other treats might want to be part of this most excellent prize package! And I will send it anywhere in the world priority mail so you have your prizes as quickly as possible upon announcing the winner.
  • The deadline will be 10/20/07 to give all the curry loving word smiths out there plenty of time to do your thing.

    Leave a comment on this post with your submission, I can’t wait to hear what you guys come up with. Not to worry if your entry is in another language, a team of translators await. All entries fully qualify! Please play, it will be fun, I promise!

    Update: Congratulations Pete who loves curry so much he ‘even thought of putting it in jello’ heehee! Your box of goodies is in the mail, enjoy them [grins].
