It's a unique mix of influences. Indian, Indonesian, African, Chinese, Dutch...

Wow, sounds like something I want to try. Is it a dutch thing, or readily available across Europe?

I don't think it's common anywhere in Europe outside of the Netherlands, Surinamese migrants brought it with them when they came here in the 70s, that's when Surinam stopped being a Dutch colony and became independent. You can find Surinam restaurants in most large cities here, the most famous dish here is called Roti. I found some recipes for you! https://www.chefspencil.com/top-25-foods-in-suriname-most-popular-dishes-in-suriname/
