The Cafeteria Curry

At noon, I went to the university cafeteria with Maria.
We saw the famous “Red Curry” in the cafeteria.
Maria asked me, “Is that spicy?”
I answered, “I have eaten that curry before.”
I told her, “It is tomato curry, so it is not spicy at all.”
Maria bought that curry and said, “It is true. It is sweet and delicious.”
