The Origin of Curry

The word "cari" or "curry" derives from the Tamil term "kari," meaning "sauce" or "stewed dish." Historically, curry was a blend of spices and herbs used to season dishes, offering a unique combination of sweet, spicy, tangy, or even sweet flavors depending on the region. Introduced to Europe by British merchants and colonists in the 17th century, curry quickly conquered the world thanks to its adaptability to local ingredients. In India, each region has its own variations, influenced by local traditions and available ingredients, from coconut-based curries in the south to tomato- and yogurt-based curries in the north.

The Legend of the Dodo

The dodo, iconic yet extinct, is surrounded by mysteries and legends. Native to Mauritius, it is sometimes confused with the Réunion solitaire, a similar bird that also disappeared. On Réunion Island, the dodo has fueled legendary tales depicting it as a symbol of innocence, a victim of human activity, and a mythologized creature in collective imagination. Today, it remains a cultural figure and a symbol of biodiversity conservation awareness. This is why we chose to feature a dodo on our Creole Curry Blend packaging: it embodies the history, traditions, and cultural richness of the Indian Ocean.
