Hi Selma,
Your assessment of Bardez being the last bastion of European Culture may
need to be reconsidered.
Much before the Bardezkars learnt recipes for european dishes from the
missionaries and adopted them, legions of Sashtikar cooks and bulters
worked on the BI and P&O ships with British officers and adopted to western
food habits and adopted their dishes/recipes as their very own, so fish
Mayonaise is no surprise..
It was the Sashtikar bakers from Majorda, Salcete with the sourdough bread
(commonly know as Undo or Pao which is synonymous with Goan, BTW) who
convinced the Bardezkar to switch from his Kundia Bakri to our Pao.
Best Regards,
Dr. Carmo A. D'Cruz

now Indian Harbour Beach, Florida

Dear Roland,
I had no idea the delectable fish mayonnaise dish
(pronounced miynase ofcourse) was indigenous to
Salcette. It truly is a delight and takes pride of
place at any wedding or festa. Curious, that such a
continental dish is native to Salcette. I always
thought Bardez was the last bastion of Indo-European
culture, while we Shastikars had maintained our
"Goaness". :)
