There are whole treatises on immigrant cooking but it's so interesting to do it in real time.
I wanted some noodles with pickled eggs and immediately started the process.
They use a lot of unsweetened soy sauce. The thing is, sweetened soy sauce, as known in Indonesia, is so much cheaper here. And then there was the sesame oil. I have some sesame seeds, but they're hardly a staple, and my local supermarket did not stock sesame oil at all. And then there was the sesame paste, well, fuck it. I went with peanut butter for that. And no, they did not have white sesame seeds.
Unsweetened soy sauce, very expensive, immediately becomes a luxury, so we're doing this with sweetened soy sauce, omitting the sugar, and black sesame seeds. Also peanut butter and some Indonesian crushed pepper paste (sambal). Was it good? Yes! Did it, at this point, have anything to do with the Japanese version? I don't have money to be all authentic, crikey.
Also, Dutch national cuisine is extremely heavily influenced by not having:
Arable land
The climate to grow anything but cabbage, root vegetables or onions (few herbs). Spices are insanely expensive. We stil say that something is 'dear as pepper' (peperduur).
Do you know what we did have?
Livestock. And dairy. Plus beans and some fruits like apples, pears maybe some cherries and forest fruits.
So Dutch meals can only really be flavoured by meat! Fish is somehow a springtime and summer dish, because you need very soft baby carrots and very fresh vegetables to actually enjoy a meal of plain fish - again not even lemon - plus potatoes and some lettuce.
And oh, what if meat is unavailable?
(Not even bacon?)
There's only one thing for it, you smother it in cheese.
Now of course nowadays, you can buy herbs and spices. But still, our people are very bad at making vegetarian dishes, because if you can't flavour anything with meat or cheese what are you gonna do? Buy cumin?! Who has that kind of cash, traditionally?
So you see a lot of meats seasoned with fruits, or fruit served as a side dish. You see a lot of cabbage and kale mashed through potatoes. Why? It softens the taste; cabbage is quite harsh. You also see people basically give up on dinner, really, and inventing really tasty meat and cheesy bites. That does not a meal make, but they're really really good. It does also create a culture obsessed with desserts. If dinner is a bit of a bland affair, dessert can lift your spirits considerably.
A lot of this "White people can't season their food" comes from traditionally not having learnt non meat-based seasoning. We've tried to get by with fruits and the best cheese we could manage.
And sure. I am very eagerly brushing up on other kitchens, because now we absolutely can buy five spice and lentils and ginger. But I'm so much milder about "bad" cuisine or unauthentic foods. People are trying to do the best with what they have available and indeed what they know. Also, learning a foreign cuisine is hard and can be very expensive.
And I've decided that it's infintely easier to cook Surinamese in the Netherlands and Indian in the UK, so I'll cook Gordon Ramsay recipes when I'm there and sweet soy sauce chicken noodles when at home. Also try finding endive outside of Turkey and Holland. It's no use.

The Emergence of a Diasporic Singular Desi Culture
I have been observing this for a while on several social media platforms and I have a theory that a singular “Desi” culture is taking shape in North America, and perhaps other diasporas. Since I haven’t had much experience with other diasporas in several years, I will only focus on this phenomenon through a North American lense.
The reason for saying is that I increasingly see young South Asians, in particular, Gen Z, make tiktoks mentioning how “our” culture is beautiful, and then proceed to show off cultural dress, cuisine, art, architecture etc. playing to a remixed Bollywood song.
The issue here is not showing appreciation, but the issue is using the singular from of culture instead of the plural — cultures.
South Asia is not a monolith, nor does it have one culture, so which culture in particular are we here appreciating? Every country, whether it would be Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, (Southern) Tibet (controversial, I know) , The Maldives, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, and Diaspora countries like Suriname, Guyana, Belize, Trinidad & Tobago, Jamaica, Mauritius, Fiji etc. all have self-contained individual cultures that are inter-connected or unique to their own region.
These tiktoks, from my observation, show only Northern Indian cultural aspects with a heavy emphasis on Punjabi culture. Popular Tiktok dances feature Hindi and Punjabi, yet rarely any music from other states. Then again, it is called fyp for a reason. It may be the content I interact with, but then again I interact with a broad spectrum of self-stylized Desi creators on “brown tiktok”. From North to South.
Every now and then, there is legitimate criticism on limiting Desi tiktok to Hindi-Urdu and Punjabi songs where a number of videos have been circulating to test one’s “Desiness” whether you know these songs or not. Same goes for movies. If not, then you are white-washed. What about the rest, who don’t speak Hindi-Urdu or Punjabi? This is why being “Desi” is quite controversial because it means different things to different people.
Why do I think that there is singular North American Desi culture emerging? It is because Bollywood consumption plays a central role in it in making the younger generation believe that there is a such thing as one culture being portrayed in Bollywood while reality is something very different.
I as a Punjabi am used to seeing my culture being hyper-represented in Indo-Pak media. In fact, it is the culture that is used in Bollywood and Lollywood productions the most when we talk about cultural reprentation. Same for music, apart from Hindi, Punjabi is the only regional language that gets that much attention and gone worldwide – for good and bad reasons.
Home culture is very different. We all have our own home culture that we grew up in. We have our languages, our own foods, our own clothes, own histories, yet when these younger Desis present themselves to the outside world, it all dissipates and changed into this Bollywood-esque performance.
We suddenly ALL eat naan, biryani, samosein, jalebi, gulab jamun, roti and we ALL speak Hindi, wear saris, lehengas, shalwar kameezein and are ALL Indian, desi, and brown.
Yet, here I am, not knowing anything about other regional dishes other than my own which ironically is all of the above and more as a Punjabi-Pakistani. I have no idea what Gujuratis eat, no idea what Sindhis eat, I had no idea what Marathi sounded. I had no idea Bihari songs were popular. I have no idea what Assamese wear.
It disregards everything unique and hyper-focuses on Bollywood and Punjab as the source for this repackaged Desi culture. Bengali home culture, Punjabi home culture, Pashtun home culture, Tamizh home culture, Devehi home culture, Indo-Guyanese home culture, Indo-Surinamese home culture are all different environments, yet you won’t see that when you land on #browntok, instead you will see this generic brand where everyone supposedly can participate in disregarding that it leaves people out and alienizes anyone that doesn’t relate to “Desi culture”
I find it so odd that Patels are quite well represented, yet know nothing about Gujurati culture or their language other than “kemcho”. The reason why I bring this up is because the culture would be seen as foreign to the Desi-sphere and not recognizable as Desi because people views this “Desi culture” though a very narrow lense.
In a way this Desi culture is just repackaged Punjabi culture made palatable for the masses that are fixated on romanticized images of their home countries disregarding class differences, history, and culture. People don’t realize that only certain classe wore such ornamental dresses like the lehenga choli and thatvit was limited to a certain class or money and still is, yet is touted as something accessible to anyone.
Big “Indian” weddings are not the norm, they are the exception, yet still are juxtapositioned with White Weddings as being something extravagent. It only works if you or family have money.
Bottomline: this Desi singular culture does not exist outside of social media realistically because we all have our own cultural aspects that are unique. Bollywood is not an accurate and reliable cultural representation. You are not cultured by watching Bollywood movies, you are a good consumer. People need to show off their regional cultures more.

American Southern food is overrated to me. I'm not surprised Lewis doesn't care for it. He likes Indian food. Indian flavors are much more complex than most southern cuisine.
How would you rank your top 5 favorite cuisines from around the world?
I thought Gumbo was amazing tho? Maybe Disney influenced me too much, but I really was wondering about that after Princess & the Frog haha. And I though it had much flavour etc. But that grit thing looks not nice. Especially that slimy but haha. (But the Reddit bro's told me grit isn't that green stuff. But I've googled what grit is and that also sounds not nice...) Oh hmmm. Good question 1. Surinamese 2. Italian 3. Japanese 4. Indian (tho I do have to say I rarely have it we don't have a good one in my town so it's #4 😩) 5. Whatever cuisine that gives me fries haha. I like fries as a cheatmeal 😂 And yours?

Suriname, a jewel nestled in the northeastern corner of South America, boasts a rich history and breathtaking beauty that captivates visitors from around the globe. This small yet diverse country is often referred to as the "beating heart of the Amazon" due to its lush rainforests, winding rivers, and abundant wildlife.
The history of Suriname is as diverse as its landscape. Originally inhabited by indigenous peoples such as the Arawaks and Caribs, Suriname was later colonized by the Dutch in the 17th century. The legacy of Dutch colonization is evident in Suriname's architecture, language, and culture, as well as in its diverse population, which includes descendants of African slaves, Indian and Javanese indentured laborers, Chinese immigrants, and indigenous groups.
Despite the challenges of colonization and slavery, Suriname's people have persevered, creating a vibrant and unique cultural tapestry. This diversity is celebrated through festivals, music, dance, and cuisine, with influences from Africa, India, Indonesia, China, and Europe blending harmoniously.
Suriname's natural beauty is unparalleled. The country is home to vast tracts of pristine rainforest, teeming with exotic flora and fauna.

Suriname's interior is a paradise for adventure seekers, offering opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, kayaking, and even eco-friendly lodges for immersive stays.
Beyond its untamed wilderness, Suriname also boasts stunning coastal landscapes. The capital city, Paramaribo, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its well-preserved colonial architecture, bustling markets, and vibrant nightlife. Along the coast, pristine beaches beckon sunseekers, while offshore, coral reefs teem with marine life, offering world-class diving and snorkeling experiences.
But perhaps the true beauty of Suriname lies in its people. Warm, welcoming, and proud of their cultural heritage, Surinamese are known for their hospitality and sense of community. Whether sharing a meal of spicy roti, dancing to the rhythms of kaseko music, or simply swapping stories under the shade of a mango tree, Suriname's people embody the spirit of unity in diversity.
In every corner of Suriname, from the misty rainforests to the sun-drenched coast, visitors are greeted with warmth and wonder. With its rich history, stunning landscapes, and vibrant culture, Suriname truly stands as a hidden gem waiting to be discovered.

Final Portfolio: By Chelsea Brandon
This semester I've written so many different pieces in this First Year Writing class. Now, for the second time, I’ll be able to take my favorite pieces that I've written throughout the semester and compile and display them for this final project. The process for compiling all my favorite works was quite simple, I just followed the theme of  “me.” In every piece I've written, they were all about me. I think writing about oneself is one of the best themes to write about and that's exactly what I've done this whole semester. All I did was carefully pick out my favorite pieces that I've written and compiled them together! I also focused on picking out pieces that have the similar theme of culture. Culture is so versatile because there are so many different types of cultures and each culture goes into depth as well. When talking about culture, you can talk about food, music, dance, language and so much more.
I chose to display my Literacy Narrative because I just really wanted to talk about my culture again. I felt that I would be able to go back to edit and include more information and knowledge about my Surinamese culture which not many people know much about.
Literacy Narrative:
Literacy is so important to one’s life. It teaches people about their heritage which is such a beautiful thing. My culture is Surinamese. A lot of people have not heard of the small country located near the earth's equator. I honestly don’t blame them though. Paramaribo, Suriname is not a well known country. People always ask me what I am and when I tell them I'm Surinamese, they look at me like I'm crazy. The cool thing about being surinamese is that it’s a culture filled with a bunch of different cultures. Suriname is one of highly diverse countries in regards to biodiversity. There are surinamese people who are black, white, hispanic, asian, indian and more! That’s one of my favorite things about being surinamese. It’s just so rich with different cultures. Another one of my favorite things about being surinamese is the food literacy. Surinamese cuisine is a combination of many international cuisines including Indian, African, Indonesian (Javanese), Chinese, Dutch, Jewish, Portuguese, and Amerindian cuisines. I find it so cool that all these countries come together to form the country we call Suriname. Another personal favorite is the music. Traditional Surinamese music is called “Kaseko'' music, however, Surinamese people tend to listen to a lot of West Indian and Caribbean music. This here is another example of multiple cultures coming together in the Surinamese culture. There’s one song that I honestly don’t even know the name of but it’s a birthday song and when it’s being played, family members link arms and dance back and forth with the birthday boy\girl in the middle. It has the same tune as the song “When the Saints Go Marching In.” It's one of my favorite Surinamese traditions. Attire is also a quite beautiful thing about Surinamese culture. My cousin recently got married in september and as one of her outfit changes, she changed into a traditional surinamese dress called a “koto.” It’s typically worn with a head wrap. It’s a very beautiful outfit. However, there is no purpose for wearing the koto. All that is known is that it was originally worn by Afro-Surinamese women before the emancipation during the Dutch colonial period in 1863. These are just some of the beautiful things I get to experience in Surinamese culture. And as I'm writing this, my mom is playing Surinamese music in the kitchen!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So I included these screenshots in my assignment because I felt that it was just a good example of "everyone makes mistakes" and it's not that uncommon! I know it doesn't have much to do with the common theme but I just wanted to include it!
Tumblr media
This discussion post that I sent in was one of my favorites. I was so proud of this assignment. It was all about not being fine and sometimes that's okay.
Tumblr media
The "I Remember" mimic assignment was a personal favorite for me because I was able to reminisce about my childhood. It was just overall a fun assignment and meant a lot to me to be able to write about it!

Surinamese food amsterdam
Amsterdam is known for its Surinamese cuisine … Obviously. In my experience, Surinamese and Indonesian dishes are often combined, and it often happens that you think you ordered the former, but it was the latter. Surinamese cuisine is influenced and infused with Chinese, Indonesian, African, South American (and many more! ), and it is so heavily influenced and infused by the cuisines of these…

Scotch Bonnet Red, Yellow, Green Regae Seeds Mix, Organic, Heirloom Non-GMO Bin#15 Scotch bonnet, also known as bonney peppers, is a variety of chili pepper named for its resemblance to a tam o' shanter hat. It is native to the Caribbean islands and Central America.Most Scotch bonnets have a heat rating of 80,000–400,000 Scoville units. For comparison, most jalapeño peppers have a heat rating of 2,500 to 8,000 on the Scoville scale. These peppers are used to flavor many different dishes and cuisines worldwide and are often used in hot sauces and condiments. The Scotch bonnet has a sweeter flavor and stouter shape, distinct from its habanero relative with which it is often confused, and gives jerk dishes (pork/chicken) and other Caribbean dishes their unique flavor. Scotch bonnets are mostly used in West African, Antiguan, Kittitian/Nevisian, Anguilan, Dominican, St. Lucian, St Vincentian, Grenadian, Trinidadian, Jamaican, Barbadian, Guyanese, Surinamese, Haitian and Cayman cuisines and pepper sauces, though they often show up in other Caribbean recipes. It is also used in Costa Rica and Panama for Caribbean-styled recipes such as rice and beans, rondón, saus, beef patties, and ceviche. Fresh, ripe Scotch bonnets can change from green to yellow to scarlet red; however, other varieties of this pepper can ripen to orange, yellow, peach, or even a chocolate brown. Fruits have a good, fruity flavor and an interesting combination of sweet and spice that make them popular for hot sauces and eating fresh. Compact, well-yielding plants This spicy hot pepper really packs the heat! Also called Jamaican peppers, these brightly colored peppers are widely used in Caribbean cooking and provide authentic flavor to your Jamaican Jerk dish Depth 1/4" Spacing 14-18" Germ Time 21-30 Days Maturity 100-120 Days Heat Level: 78-10 SHU: 50,000 ~ 350,000 Minimum Seed Count: 15 Frost Hardy: No Sprouts in 7-10 Days Capsicum chinense http://springsofeden.myshopify.com/products/scotch-bonnet-red-yellow-green-regae-seeds-mix-organic-heirloom-non-gmo-bin-15
