Myself, I'd like a good salomi, but I'll pass on the snoek; I don't eat any sort of seafood.

One of the good folks at Wordorigins (thanks, Dutchtoo!) discovered that it was a Malay dish in origin and the usual spelling is salomi (cf this post, which refers to "a salomi, the original wrap of roti or flatbread filled with your choice of curry and salad"—and if your interest in food is wide-ranging, you'll want to check out the blog, Kitsch'n'Zinc: Culinary musings from Cape Town), so I thought I'd ask my readers if anybody knew the etymology of the word.
