Goa and its inhabitants always bring to mind two things... their love
for food and the inevitable "siesta" that follows. Both are pursued with
equal devotion and passion, as you will see in the painstaking methods
of food preparation, and their laid-back manner of living life to the
fullest. Goan food traditionally uses a lot of vinegar or toddy (locally
brewed palm vineger) in their spicy dishes. Garlic is another favorite.
The traditional dishes like Sorpotel, and Vindaloo usually taste better
after they have been kept a few days. Goans believe in preparing
everything freshly from raw ingredients, they believe it tastes much
better that way. While that may be debated in some circles, one cannot
dispute the outcome IS usually mouth watering! Below are few Goan delicacies by Alison Pinto.
