===Cuisine=== {{Main|Minangkabau cuisine}} [[File:Masakan Padang1.JPG|thumb|right|Padang cuisine]] The staple ingredients of the Minangkabau diet are rice, fish, coconut, green leafy vegetables and chili. Meat is mainly limited to special occasions, and beef and chicken are most commonly used. Pork is not ''[[halal]]'' and not consumed, while lamb, goat and game are rarely consumed for reasons of taste and availability. Spiciness is a characteristic of Minangkabau food: The most commonly used herbs and spices are chili, turmeric, ginger and galangal. Vegetables are consumed two or three times a day. Fruits are mainly seasonal, although fruits such as banana, papaya and citrus are continually available.<ref name="Lipoeto2001">{{cite journal |last=Lipoeto |first=Nur I |author2=Agus, Zulkarnain |author3=Oenzil, Fadil |author4=Masrul, Mukhtar |author5=Wattanapenpaiboon, Naiyana |author6= Wahlqvist, Mark L |title=Contemporary Minangkabau food culture in West Sumatra, Indonesia |journal=Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition |volume=10 |issue=1 |pages=10β6|publisher=Blackwell Synergy |date=February 2001 |doi=10.1046/j.1440-6047.2001.00201.x |pmid=11708602|doi-access=free }}</ref> Three meals a day are typical with lunch being the most important, except during the fasting month of [[Ramadan]] when lunch is not eaten.
