This has to do with with the mixture of honeys and apples being associated with Vermont in Japan, though I'm not quite sure how wildly known that is or why.

It's because there was a book called "Folk Medicine: A Vermont Doctor's Guide to Good Health" that kicked off a health fad called the "Vermont health system" in Japan. It included drinking apple cider vinegar and honey. The curry then appropriated the name for its health connotations.
I hope this isn't rude, but how did you know that?
I was curious too, did a web search, and found this:
Awesome! Thank you!
I'm a huge fan of this style of curry, and went down a rabbit hole a few years ago learning lots of stuff about Japanese style curry.
Thank you! I'll have to give it a try.
TIL! Blows my mind as just yesterday I was buying some more S&B Gold at the store and was really curious about this brand. Cool insight.
You can get a similar vibe out of golden curry by peeling and pureeing a couple apples. I add them after the onions get soft and fry some moisture out of them before the water and tubers go in.
Just not my vibe, prefer spicy.
I should try it once but when the recipe says “add honey” I hear “add hot sauce”. Apples sound crazy.
the default country syndrome strikes hard again, today it got even me!
Man, VT has become so freaking precious about itself. I'm biased, I grew up there in the 80s and GTFO as soon as I could. I heard a thing in Brave Little State -- a whole episode no less -- about the so called "VT wave," which they do in every rural community from Georgia to Montana ffs.
Vermont is cool and all, for reasons, but not for all the reasons some folks think they are.
VT curry my ass. Fuckin VT needs to get over itself.
It would be better if the people who think it's cool weren't there.
Not to be confused with Vermont Carry, which is Constitutional or "permitless" carry of handguns.
Indiana and Florida too
29 states all together.
Similar to Green Mountain Salsa. Nothing says authenticly Mexican like Vermont Salsa
Better than NEW YORK CITY!
Ok but when I think apple and honey Vermont does come to mind
And now enjoy apple honey curry
Fun fact: In Super Troopers, there were several jokes about Thorny being Arabian, Mexican, etc because of his personal life growing up in Vermont and people were uh uncertain.
Anyone that has seen the movie and is from a small town in any state can relate.
I'm tired and out of the corner of my eye that initially looked like 'Voldemort curry'
Or the longer name: Curry that must not to be named.
Voldemort Curry: “The curry of choice for Turfs”
It's really good. We buy Montana and Otago curry from the same brand. I always found the names funny, though.
Oddly enough, they don’t seem to sell this in the EU or UK (though some Asian groceries near universities have a mix in similarly coloured packaging made for the Chinese market by House’s PRC subsidiary), though they sell other House and S&B curry mixes. I wonder if Vermont Curry might contain an ingredient that’s banned in the EU or something.
I mean that sounds kind of good though...
Pizzafication
I don't like any curry do I have no dog in this race. That said, even if know that this is dumb.
