I can see it being a mix of the two, where a military chef has to turn Thanksgiving leftovers into a meal for 1000 hungry troops, knows about rijsttafel, and scales up the recipe and makes it a layered dish so it can be served cafeteria style with a giant spoon. At some point "It's like a dinner in Java called rijsttafel" became "Javanese Dinner" and all the GIs coming back from the war talk about it.

Makes sense. Or someone who ate it once without knowing what was in it, and then described it to someone else who cooks in layers.

As someone who reads a ton of cookbooks, one of the best cookbooks I ever came across was one about Indonesian food published by the Dutch Navy, probably first in the 1950's or so. It is about 800 pages long and gives an overview of all the different foods available on the various islands of Indonesia, and hundreds upon hundreds of recipes for things to cook with them.

The result of centuries worth of knowledge gained through colonizing the area, it explains what each ingredient is to someone who is totally unfamiliar with that cuisine, and explains various other cultural aspects and traditions of the various localities as they relate to food. It seems that is was originally written with war in mind, so that if a ship was stuck stationed at one place for a long time and had to rely entirely on local products for food, they would still have something to eat. It tries to provide as much information as possible and assumes you are an ignorant peasant from postwar Europe who has never even heard of rice.

Here is the page for rice, which explains its structure, nutrional value, and how it can be used:



"Rice is an important source of starch that is easy to prepare. The husk is rich in B vitamins, and becomes nutrient-poor when this is removed. The nutrional value of 100g of rice is approximately [redacted] amounts of protein, fat, carbohydrates, and calcium.

Rice can be used as a substitute for potatoes in a main course. It can also be mixed with leftovers of meat, fish, or vegetables by adding a curry sauce or other seasonings that give a spicy flavor to these leftovers. One of the dishes rice features prominently in is the Rijsttafel. Rice can also be used as a binder or as a filler in soup. Rice is also sometimes used in European cuisine, usually in sweet dishes."

If you can read Dutch, here is the 14th edition, from 1999.

Sorry for the derail but I fuckin love me some racoons
A relative brought something called curried fruit to our Thanksgiving dinner. It was a bunch of different types of canned fruit (peaches, pineapple, maraschino cherries, frozen mangoes, dried cranberries) mixed with brown sugar and curry powder then baked and served hot. It was really bad.

At least they plated the food instead of eating straight out of the pot like I would some people.

Also from the bar last night, a dweeb tried ordering two lemon drops for the girls I was with to impress them. The bar is really bad at mixing anything consistently, and apparently the drinks tasted more like straight acid. One of the girls immediately threw up in her glass and both of them ran to the bathroom.
