Curry Sauce

[melfrank]

We love curry but can never find decent curry sauce in Orlando.
Does anyone know if we can bring our own curry sauce in?

I think you could take something like a Patak paste in, but don't see why you couldn't get away with a curry sauce. A new shop has opened on the 192 near Orange Lakes which will probably sell all this which might make life easier!

I can find imported Pataks curry sauce here in California so they do get into the country. I also know of a store (trader joes) that sells their own version of a curry sauce - yum. But as yet they haven't expanded into Florida.

Check the ingredients list and make sure there is no meat product in there and you *should* be OK (but always declare them to customs). I know of someone who brings tons of spices back from the UK (because they are cheaper there) and has no problems importing them.

There are places that will mail order UK food (for a price) www.bbcamerica.com is one I know of - and a search on google will give you more options too. (But be prepared for the high prices!! $3-4 for hob nobs - extortionate but worth it sometimes)

There is a place called International Food I think up Sand Lake Road area. Never been, but I hear it has a lot of British stuff. I will need to check it out next time I am there.

One of the supermarkets here ( Publix near Orange Lake??) sells canned curry sauce as does Union Jack in Old Town. I wouldnt risk a jar breaking and covering everything in your case with curry ( ughh!) as you can get it here.
