Cuisine of Suriname
G'day, nice to see someone building up the Cuisine of Suriname! Are you planning on adding recipes for those dishes, or just basic descriptions of what they are? If you are planning on adding recipes, you might want to have a read of our Cookbook policy page, which outlines some basic formatting tips. I've created a category for these recipes to go into: Category:Surinamese recipes (but please only add actual recipes to that category, not just meal descriptions).

Pigment seeds
G'day, just checked out your recipe for Pastei - very nice. I don't know what one of the ingredients is, however: pigment seeds. Is this some type of seed used for colouring the dish? Can you tell me what plant it is the seed from?

Actually, I was also unsure about another ingredient: 1 fresh pepper. Does this mean:
 * black peppercorn?
 * bell pepper (capsicum)?
 * chili pepper?
