In this topic, participants will be given the understanding and nature of folklore as well as the forms and types of folklore that are spread in Minangkabau.
As an ethnic group, Minangkabau culture contains various interesting and unique forms and types of folklore. Be it in the form of oral folklore, non-oral folklore, or partly oral folklore. One form of Minangkabau native non-oral folklore that is currently worldwide is the traditional Minangkabau food, namely randang (or rendang in Indonesian).
In a release issued by CNN Travel in 2017 about the 50 most delicious foods globally, randang was chosen as the most delicious food beating 49 other types of food around the world. This release is good news for the people of Indonesia and the Minangkabau people in particular. Why is that, this is because randang is one of the Minangkabau specialties which is very iconic and popular. In almost every cultural activity and tradition of the Minangkabau people in various regions, randang is always served with various variants, for example, beef, chicken, eggs, and others.
This program will provide an unforgettable experience for MGC participants, namely knowledge about how to enjoy the best food in the world in a traditional party atmosphere. Eating bajamba is one way for the Minangkabau people to enjoy their special food.
