I no longer buy any raw meats at TJ's - these days they just are too lousy 90% of the time. I still get frozen pizzas and some frozen snacks, but my TJ's shopping has dropped by at least half, maybe more.

Over-seasoned, heavily flavored with a very strong and bitter curry sauce. We love Indian food and we are no strangers to the unusual spices and combinations (in fact my wife frequently cooks Indian after attending some classes). But none of the family could stomach these. I mean they were completely inedible. Maybe we had a bad batch; maybe they shouldn't be sitting in the sauce in the package for so long. Whatever it is, I'm heading back to the store today to get a refund.

I'd be skeptical about TJ's, though.<br /><br />Here's a pop song about kimchi fried rice—at around 0:30 he says that he wants to marry a woman who knows how to cook it:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8wthMP2PNIA.
