Is this meal spicy?
Yes, this meal has a fair amount of spice. It is a Thai Curry, after all! However, when compared to many authentic Thai curries, it would be considered fairly mild. Heat is subjective, so if you are the type to find a medium salsa way too hot, then you might steer clear. If you have a tolerance for and enjoy spicy foods, you'll find this dish to be a nice medium-level heat.
Wait, this meal contains milk?
Allow us to explain: You may have noticed in the ingredient list that this meal contains coconut milk, which is not a dairy product. But it also states that it contains milk as a potential allergen. This is due to the very small amount of sodium caseinate—contained within the separate coconut milk powder pouch—which acts as a stabilizer for the coconut powder. Please use discretion if you have an allergy/intolerance to milk.

Found this brand at my local Sierra store. Bought the Thai Curry and took it camping and honestly I wasn’t expecting much since my experience with MREs / dehydrated camp food is pretty mediocre but this stuff was so flavorful, hot, spicy, and delicious that I am now excited to try everything else from this company.
I like both iterations of this one. It is easier not to have to add the coconut powder, which can fly in the wind.
My go-to MRE brand, never disappoints!
I've eaten this Thai Curry at home for meals. It's that good. And I love the G2G fresh quality ingredients you can pronounce that are not delivered in a sea of salt. Just good clean food that tastes great and is super easy to prepare- such a meaningful thing after a day's effort in the backcountry, right? It's also a great feeling to have TASTY food ready for the family in case of an emergency. My only regret- I'm a big calorie burner & consumer and they are discontinuing the 2-serving size. So I'm buying up a bunch of 2-serving pouches while they're still available. When they're gone I'll just have to bring two for each meal. Not ideal, but worth it. Thanks for a great product!
Delicious camp meal for two light eaters or one very hungry person after a rigorous day on the trail. Good option for pescatarians wanting an Asian-inspired meal. It’s bland, so need to add more spice, hot sauce, etc. It’s also short on protein for my needs and preferences. My ask would be to add a vegetarian protein like dried tofu.
