WORLDWIDE | Thursday, 12 April 2012 | Views [145] | Scholarship Entry

Food is the most important thing in our life. It can help us for our activities. It also a part of culture. where its come from, why its occur in the area. It is show off the culture and also characteristic the area.

Based on my own experiences when i was travel and learned in around Central Java, which popular with arts and culture, food is a part of its. culinary which is from Central Java have own characteristic. It is sweet taste. It is the characteristic and had been a tradition. If its have modification, taste and food value in the composition would lose. from the sample thing above, we can guess that Javanese popular with the modesty and local wisdom.

Not only in Java, another island in Indonesia also has own characteristic and culture, such as west Sumatera. West Sumatera is Rendang. Rendang is one of popular foods in West Sumatera. Its popular even reach the worldwide and be a favorite food. The characteristic are hot, have 'santan' and also be oil. So, from its characteristic, I can say that Sumaterans have some characteristics such as obstinacy and adventurer.

Many kinds of culinary in Indonesia, so Indonesia also have diversity culture from Sabang to Merauke. That's why we have to respect another culture. from the diversity we have, we can know plus and minus a culture so we can recognize each other one. It's that the things. It can be our success key about tourism for develop it because the difference of culture is a gift from God for us.
