A food culture formed in the Netherlands through colonial history and post-independence migration. Not Indonesian cuisine, and not plain Dutch cooking: rijsttafel is a Dutch colonial construction, and the snack bar dishes are Dutch adaptations.
Rijsttafel is a Dutch colonial construction rather than an Indonesian meal format, and the snack-bar dishes built on Indonesian names are Dutch adaptations. Indonesian cuisine is recorded in its own right and is not relabelled here.documented
