One of them ~ in the black bottle (no idea which origin it was) is great with witlof leaves sprinkled with fresh ground pepper from Kalimantan.

Sounds like a line from a science fiction novel, but I'm only a provincial.

Kalimantan is another name for part or all of Borneo. It's an Indonesie Bhassa word.

Star Trek had someone on the writing staff who was great at pulling out Dutch dictionaries, or Czech gazateers and using the words he found to name places, people and devices.

That's probably why my statement strikes you as sounding a tad "sci fi" ~ 'cause it is! (sound of drums beating heavily)
