I received my Hot & Savory this morning, 2 pouches of Thai Curry, 1 pouch of tomato. I was really looking forward to the Thai Curry so opened it immediately, made sure the contents were thoroughly mixed, and waited eagerly for it to ‘cook’ so I could smash it in my face… then the blandness hit me!
Everyone else is saying how full of flavour it is. Am I the only one struggling with it? I ended up adding a ton of sriracha just to get through it.
I’m so disappointed. I don’t know if I can get through 1 bag, never mind 2, and the thought of the tomato one fills me with dread if this is meant to be the tastiest. For the first time since using Huel, I think I’m going to have to return the unopened pouches. It’s a lot of money to spend to sit on a shelf.
I’m the opposite, I LOVE spicy food. Maybe that’s the problem. I thought the Thai Green Curry had no flavour whatsoever though, not just a lack of kick. Might be that I find the tomato the complete opposite, but think I’ll end up returning the 2 unopened pouches and re-invest in regular Huel
Interesting! What sort of kick do you think could be added? I’ve not yet ordered my H&S but it’s gonna happen next week and like you I’m a huuuuge fan of spice lol.
But I have a cupboard full of spices and fragrances (I do home made gin lol) so I’m deeply pondering this. Will find out on um… Tuesday I guess, assuming I remember to call and change my sub around lol.
Sorry you think the TGC is bland, what sort of ‘kick’ are you looking for? If it’s purely spice then adding a bit of your fave hot sauce surely isn’t the end of the world? Like those who add a tsp of instant coffee to their Huel. Making Huel has always been about finding what works for you, different hacks, different ratios, so Hot & Savoury is no different!
I also think that us here are so damn excited that we might have massively raised your expectations! So I’m sorry if that’s the case!
I like spicy food, and I like Thai flavours and I really think the Huel delivers. I think making it more spicy may put some people off; I think it’s pretty much spot on.
I totally agree that making anything too spicy would put a lot of people off. You can add spice, can’t remove it. BUT… there was no spice. No flavour even. It does make me wonder if I have a duff bag. I tried it again for lunch, mixed the bag thoroughly… still nothing. So maybe I do have a bad one
The Thai Green Curry one is quite spicy and several people have said that it is even too spicy, which I do not agree with. I think that the spice is level is about perfect.
If you have to add a ton of sriracha into the Thai Green Curry as you cannot taste anything otherwise then you are definitely the exception that proves the rule.
