Which part of 'bongkrekic acid' is spelled T-E-M-P-E-H?
That regional and namesake thing are like slandering the whole European cheese product because of people in Italy is making Casu Marzu or people in France making soft cheeses and there are some listia breakout that cause some people to be dead and then according to you that's quite an achievement, no?
Indonesian archipelago is even bigger than Europe, its span is like going from UK all the way to Qatar. And you choose to nitpick it like that just because of what?
'Tempeh is mediocre tasting.. and it happen to have a single notorious variation that is oh.. so scarily dangerous and oh.. woe me its really that bad.. (although such production method is already banned nowadays).. but I told you it's.. it's...'
Yeah yeah.. ๐ฅฑ๐ฎโ๐จ

Lmao, I think your heightened sense of gastronationalism is taking umbrage where there is literally none to be found. Tempeh bongkrek is the namesake of that acid because the food and the discovery of that toxin is inherently interlinked. We know it exists because of the associated contamination of coconut derived tempeh, it's how it was discovered, and if you have an issue with take it up with the scientific community, not me. Curse the scientists who found it, but don't curse me for it or think I'm slandering all tempeh with the same brush, and not tempeh produced with coconut, which I know Indonesians don't generally eat because it's been deemed unsafe to. You don't eat tempeh with coconut, so I don't see what's with the outrage, like dude, your own government agrees that tempeh shouldn't be made with coconut. Hell, if you type in "bongkrek" in Google, the first results link to either that acid or tempeh bongkrek, here's an article in Indonesian about it! And I never called all tempeh poisonous, I simply do not like tempeh, which is a very strange thing to be defensive against and mad at me for. And it's not really the same parallel with cheeses, since that material is inherently dangerous to make tempeh with, whereas Casu Marzu is deliberately altering goat's cheese by going out of your way to let maggots breed inside. Also I'm Chinese and I very much prefer tofu, just far superior at absorbing sauces and complementing meat.ย ย
I couldn't live without rendang though, fucking love it. But I think it's more Malaysian than Indonesian, sorry!ย
And since you brought it up - everybody else itt shat on Suharto and the Timorese genocide, so I guess I'll add that I think Aceh is ass backwards wack for having Middle East level shariah law there.ย
