Beste Roger:

Onderwerp: Vocabulary

When travelling abroad in the US, UK and Germany I often have troubles with
quite normal vocabulary, although our languages are related.

As ek 'n bydrae uit die Afrikaans uit mag maak:

1. shoehorn
 noem ons ook skoenlepel  of skoenhoring, maar ek sou skat die laasgenoemde
is 'n Angelisisme.

5 Chutney, Curry, Ketjap, Shi-i-take
noem ons blatjang, en vir ons is dit eie aan ons Kaaps kookkuns (tog bewerk
my Calaforniese astertjie darem 'n puike appelkoosblatjang (wat sy hier
geleer het). Ja, blatjang is te minste so oud soos die VOC. Ek sal nie waag
om die oorspronklike Maleisiese blatjangresep oor te dra nie. Los dit
liewers vir Ron. So van die os op die esel, dit verbaas my ons het
terselfdetyd ook nie 'ketjap' opgetel nie, vir tamatiesous soos in
Amerikaans..

Further:
"Curry". Wat makeer Roger? Ek dog Rijstafel / Rystafel is die laaste drie en
'n half eeue net so Nederlands en Afrikaans as dit Maleis is. Is 'kerrie'
nie die hele tyd maar groepbenoeming vir 'n reuse speserytradiesie nie...
Ja, vol vele kleure, smake en sterktes.

Help tog,
en Groete,

Mark

Liewe Mark,

Jy het geskryf:

> liewers vir Ron.

Waarom?

Ou-Kaapse resepte is hier steeds baie welkom.

The Malay-Indonesian word is _belacan_ ([b(@)"lat'an]), originally meaning 
'shrimp paste'.  As far as I know, it is always some sort of paste with 
which to make sauces.

_Kecap_ means 'taste', 'flavor', 'relish' and 'enjoyment'.  It has come to 
mean 'soy sauce' as well, thus has nothing in common with Western ketchup 
(which, I believe, tends to be called _ketchup_ in Malaysian and 
Indonesian).

Groete,
Reinhard/Ron
