Rendang and fried rice only part of the culinary wealth of the country that are abundant. "It's nice to hear rendang become the most preferred foods, but foods from other regions do?" cultural experts said Prof. Dr. Edi Sedyawati after the seminar 'Observing the archipelago as a reflection of Wealth Culinary Culture Nation' at the University of Indonesia.
According to him, the people of Indonesia have more incentive to organize events such as festivals or fairs culinary Indonesian food at home and abroad.
Not only that, studies related to culinary, business development in the areas of catering, innovative recipes, the synergistic efforts of various parties, as well as cuisine civilize the archipelago should be done to be able to survive in the 'onslaught' foreign culinary.
Maybe not all people know the whole Indonesia archipelago cuisine. In fact there are people who only know the iconic foods from big cities in Indonesia. For this reason, studies and identification of related culinary throughout Indonesia are important.
"Indonesia's rich cuisine, one dish alone could have several different types in other areas. That's why there is need for identification and classification of Indonesian food. It is important to promote it," he explained.
In addition as a step to promote culinary Indonesia, it was also considered as a first step to cultivate traditional Indonesian cuisine. Amid the onslaught of foreign restaurants, a growing number of young children Indonesia Indonesia forgotten traditional dishes.
"It is therefore important to educate and introduce our children to Indonesia cuisine. Do not let them do not like or do not know because too often consume foreign cuisines," he added.
But unfortunately, the complexity in cooking recipes Indonesia deter young people to learn to cook. Instead they prefer to cook the recipes are not practical to use a lot of seasoning.
To overcome this problem, Edi Sedyawati said that innovation in food recipes important thing to do. For example, by packing spices so easy to be processed. "Maybe later rendang spices can be made instantaneously. Then mixed into the meat with a certain portion of water. So it made practical as possible," he said.
Not only that innovation in the use of food is also equally important. Seeing the fact that the increasing number of imported foodstuffs, food products discredit Indonesia. Even the campaigns use of imported food products more incentive to do.
"The tongue we are now occupied. They are trying to achieve our tongue to create the familiar flavors. It is capitalism in the food," says historian JJ Rizal, found in the same occasion.
It refers to the popularity of products not manufactured in the country. More and more imported food products that replace domestic food products as a base for the manufacture of traditional cuisine. "Why not replace them with cassava, sweet potato, or other products that can be manufactured in Indonesia," Edi Sedyawati added.
According to him, there must be a synergistic movement carried out between the government, pembisnis, and farmers. Indeed, food product quality standards Indonesia is still a barrier. However, to promote Indonesia recipes that use domestic food products can be a smart choice for a growing push food quality.
And, this being the task of the Indonesian nation next. In addition to promoting the culinary, food products but also promote Indonesia.
