- Sambal is made with bell pepper (first sentence, third paragraph). While on some occasions people do use bell pepper for sambal, it is uncommon since bell pepper is expensive.
- The ingredients are grinded using a traditional tool made from wood (second sentence, third paragraph). The ingredients for sambal are traditionally grinded using cobek, which is made from solid rock. However, there are cobek made from wood, but again, it's uncommon.
- Sambal is a main meal (fourth sentence, fourth paragraph). No one eats sambal only for their meal, it's like saying ketchup is great for lunch.
