  • Hear hear.

    We Dutch can enjoy these cultures now because of the ruthless exploitation of Indonesia and (North) African country’s for centuries and there are Dutch people still having a hard time showing immigrants any respect or hospitality, and where I live in growing numbers. It is disheartening but I am glad not to be like them.

    Most of my cooking skills comes from learning from friends and family with Indo, Surinam and North African backgrounds. My sisters are all married to people from non Dutch cultures, so I am lucky there too. Also we live near the largest importer/distributor of Asian, Indonesian and Surinam foods in Europe. Very lucky.

    My mother is a racist though, we don’t see her.



  • Heh, I posted about that history a while back. In the Netherlands we have a large community of Indonesian, Dutch West Indies and Surinam people, all with wonderful culture, music and food.

    I used to overstuff my rotis and have the same result as you, but after much practice got the hang of it. I also make flabreads that are much easier to make, like parathas and chapatis. Also delicious.

    Cheers!


  • It’s not too many pancakes, but a bit similar I am making too many Rotis today. There are many types of (stuffed) flatbread, today dahlpuri roti. I am making a bunch for the freezer as well.

    Takes quite a bit of work, making the stuffing and all, so I already made the Doks Masala (Surinam style duck curry) and Madame Jeanette pepper sauce late last night to go with the Roti.

    Also traditional to go with roti and doks masala is boiled eggs, patato masala and long beans. Scoop that stuff up with the roti, no fork or spoon needed, bare hands. I am looking forward serving this tonight.






  • Heh, grumpy old guy rant….imo went downhill after that.

    The prequel, AKA Australians in space was ok, but I felt it was DLC.

    I did finish BL3 but didn’t like it storywise or the references and humor, even quite annoyed. A lot happened in Tales of the Borderlands (that I did not play, but my son did) and was bummed playing BL3 after having to ask him what happened to missing npc’s or why some annoying npc’s are there. I played mostly Maya in BL2 so yeah, that’s cool.

    BL4 and Wonderlands I did not bother to play, although my son bought them on release even preordering BL4, I probably spared me more annoyance.

    First two games I 100%ed, played them so much I would literally dream about them.
