Although, a friend is half Indonesian and his grandma made these wonderful, albeit spicy dishes, so I was kinda trained for it. Just not prepared.Good stuff! I think it was about 8 years ago. But you'll also have to take into account that it was a very poor neighborhood of Iquitos. Like wooden shacks on poles in the water, trash floating everywhere, alcoholism. Very dire conditions. And a lot of the men were alcoholics and the women really felt that the kitchen is their domain and the men should keep the f out. So, I do understand that for them it was kind of a culture shock.</blockquote>
