Where Do You Come From, Amris?

Tadinya punya persediaan daging asap buat bikin "Fillet Ayam Bungkus Smoked Beef," tapi ngeliat si Arwen gak punya jatah snack apa-apa, akhirnya gue putusin buat bikin American Risoles aka Amris. Bikin kulitnya gampang, isinya juga simple gak mecem-macem, cuman campuran smoked beef, keju, telur rebus dikasih saus mayo dan susu kental manis.



Kalo ngeliat namanya, sebenernya gue agak geli dan wondering, "emang iya asalnya dari Amerika?" Saking penasaran, sampe browsing-browsing nanya sama mbah Google....gak ada sejarahnya babar blas kalo ada yang namanya American Risoles *ada yang bisa kasih penjelasan?*. Dan setau gue, asal muasal risoles itu dari Brazil. Mungkin kasusnya sama kayak Bika Ambon asli Medan *???!!!??* Dan waktu mbah Google ngeluarin jurus mautnya dengan njembrengin segudang sumber artikel, "lah kok hampir semua artikel dari Indonesia yak????"

Ahhh...sudahlah...apalah arti sebuah nama, yang penting rasanya YUMMYY!! Mungkin ini hasil karangan orang Indonesia yang nyiptain Risoles dengan isi yang bule banget, ada kejunya, ada smoked beef, pokoknya ingredients-nya wangi-wangi londo gitu deh! :)

Udah lama jatuh cinta sama resep ini, waktu main-main ke tempat Uci MamaKavin, tapi baru kesampean bikin sekarang.

I had this smoked beef stock to make a chicken fillet wrap with smoked beef. However, after I saw that Arwen didn't have snack, I decided to make American Risoles. It's easy to create the wrapper. The filling is simple, consists of smoked beef, cheese, hardboiled egg with mayonaisse and sweet condensed milk.

I was wondering on the name of this food. It's quite ridiculous. Was it really from America? I was so curious that I looked this name from Google... there's no history whatsoever about American Risoles *anyone can give me a hint on this?* As far as I know, risoles came from Brazil. It's similar with Ambonese Bika, which was originally from Medan *???!!* When Google finally shown the result of my search with hundreds of articles, *what? all the articles were sourced from Indonesia???*

Anyway...what a name is for? Most important thing is it tasted YUMMY!! Maybe it's a name created by Indonesian who made the risoles using all western ingredients filling, such as cheese, smoked beef etc which are not naturally Indonesian ingredients :)

I've fallen in love with this recipe long time ago, when I visited Uci MamaKavin, but I just had a chance to practice it now.
