The Sauce of the Gods

terryclothAt the cafeteria today, they were serving the weird chicken curry soup. This used to be one of my favorite entrees, but after the most recent cost-cutting binge it was somehow gutted. There was less of the curry soup to go with the fried veggies, and it was less tasty (almost totally bland, in fact), and the addition of chicken to the mix didn't really add anything.
But hope springs eternal, and the other menu items weren't exactly enticing, so I got it anyway. Sure enough, while it was almost 'hot' enough, it was otherwise pretty bland. And its messy, chaotic nature meant that it'd be hard to eat, too -- I considered just tossing it in the trash and going out for Taco Bell.
But then I noticed that they'd gotten another bottle of this Sweet Chili sauce I like... Moy Ploy or something like that. I'd never tried it on curry soup, but it had done wonders for their awful noodles and stir fry. So I took the bottle and glooped a nice big serving in...
...and wow, it not only tasted better, but it tasted exactly like I remembered it! Lunch was saved!
