    Introduction

    History has shown that Sardine canapes can never replace Russian Caviar made
    from the finest selection of Sturgeon roe, nor can any Sparkling wine be an
    acceptable substitute for Dom Perignon Champagne, nor will the discerning indvidual
    wear a mother-of--pearl brooch at a Royal Investiture when she owns one adorned
    with pearls from Mannar (off the NW coast of Ceylon.) Similarly connoisseurs of fine
    dining, gourmets and others who crave for exquisite cuisine of the highest quality,
    will always want the best and never settle for anything less; they will opt for the
    authentic Dutch Lomprijst ('LAMPRAIS), with its unique flavour when baked in
    plantain (banana) leaves, and which when correctly prepared according to the recipe
    , is a rich, wholesome meal for any occasion.


    The Lamprais, is one of the two cornerstones of Dutch Burgher cuisine, the other
    being the Breudher. However, over past decades, either for reasons of convenience,
    or non availability of ingredients or to cater to a vegetarian or non- beef/pork eating
    clientele, essential characteristics of the lamprais were removed or modified, and the
    'hybrid' product continued to be advertised as lamprais, (or incorrectly , 'lumprais',
    'lampreys', 'lumprice' etc). In short, there is no such thing as 'chicken or mutton or
    fish lamprais'. Some 'bastardized' recipes include "brinjal pahi', 'cucumber sambol"
    and even 'pappadam" !!! Even the highly overated recipe published on the web by
    Dame Deloraine Brohier has to be taken with a pinch of burgherised salt !


    No 1 quality "samba" rice is the best choice among the different types of parboiled
    rice in the market .

    A lamprais will ALWAYS consist ONLY the following dishes:


    1. Lamprais Curry
    2. Frikkadels "cutlets"
    3. Brinjal (Egg fruit)) paella
    4. Chilli & Onion sambol
    5. Pawn blachang
    6. Ash Plantain fries
    7. The Rice
