Suriname
Creole, Javanese, Hindustani and Chinese kitchens meet: pom, roti, peanut soup and noodles in one small nation. That is the short version of what Suriname cooks. Look for Pom (baked casserole of grated pomtajer root and citrusy chicken; party centerpiece), Roti (flatbread with curried chicken, potato and yardlong beans, Hindustani staple) and Borgoe Rum (surinamese rum from cane molasses, drunk neat or with cola). Oven dish of grated pomtajer root with citrus and chicken, brought by Sephardic Jewish settlers and now the centrepiece of every Surinamese party.
