    This was good but I had to guess how much of each spice to add to the onion curry. There are no measurements. - 12/13/08

    Meat had a great flavor and I loved the stuffing. Hubby liked too, but the kids turned up their noses at the stuffing and onion topping. We had to scrape it all off for them. - 6/27/07
