My take is that it’s about complete meals, as they exist today, with the region that the meal is associated with. So I would put tikka masala in India, even though it was technically created in the UK. My guess is your Dutch Indonesian version is probably the same as that, and should go in D. Or would most Dutch people say “this is a Dutch meal”?
But you’re definitely right that it’s very fuzzy.
I saw a much more interesting problem not too long ago, which had much clearer lines. It was only about using ingredients native to either the new world or old world. Choose new world and you get chocolate, tomato, and potato. Old world means you miss out, but you do get wheat and rice.
I think you have a good point most Dutch people would say lets get Indonesian food today, while actually getting food you probably can’t find exactly the same in Indonesia.
I would probably take D (I think it still has a tiny slice of Italy). Pizza and asian I can’t live without. I think there is still debate on the origin of fries)…
