1 GEOGRAPHY
Indonesia is made up of some 17,000 islands and more than 300 different ethnicities. Naturally, its diversity is reflected in the country’s cuisine – and not just the cuisine but the heritage, art, music, everything really.
2 SATAY
In Indonesian, the word satay just refers to any skewered dish. Here you’ll find it in the form of satay salad and satay marinade or sauce, all with no skewer in sight. The misconception iscounted 252 unique sate (the original Indonesian spelling) varieties in Indonesia, so it baffles me why the humble peanut version has stuck in the UK.
