Don't apologise, I'm enjoying the 'ramble' and I suspect you may be right about the Javanese kitchen having the most influence in Indo/Dutch cuisine. It is amazing how many little dishes you get with a Dutch restaurant rijsttafel.

I have had the pleasure of tasting an Ind. dish or two since I came to live in the Neths (36 years ago) and love satay, although without sambal. (I have tried but it remains too h-h-hot for my bland, fish and chip trained Anglo/Celtic palate!).<BR/><Geri Atrichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11366639605414003496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900850738233158468.post-41156518685047740342008-08-26T02:30:00.000+02:002008-08-26T02:30:00.000+02:00Hi Geri, off-topic here, but I'm curious to find o...Hi Geri, off-topic here, but I'm curious to find out if you've obtained a taste for Indonesian cuisines...you living in the Netherlands and all (plenty of Indonesians living there and also Indonesian eateries, I was told).
