Why go

Potatoes, kale, cabbage and onions connect familiar meals to field crops; tomatoes and peppers also belong to greenhouse growing. Other dishes tell histories of movement: Surinamese roti has Hindustani roots, while nasi goreng and satay reflect Indonesian connections. Recognising both strands helps explain why farming alone cannot account for what appears on Dutch menus.
