This month's Goanet operations sponsored by Mrs. Daisy Faleiro If you would like to sponsor Goanet's operations contact: Herman Carneiro - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Anna Maria, You could have visited Ghettos in those States too and impressed the black folks who live there with your Culer and Canto and your "Aao Portuguese" Ponkad, Podhi and Patrade. I am an Indian and American citizen of Goan Origin with dual nationality. British table manners were imposed on me and my siblings at home since our youth. Since I am a leading professor of engineering entrepreneurship and corporate consultant in this part of Florida and since my wife is the Vice-President of Finance at a major health care company in town which owns three hospitals, we are invited to fine dinner parties nearly every other day. There is no single "international" method of eating with a spoon and fork - unless it is a figment of your imagination - The British use their cutlery differently than the Americans ! The Chinese, Japanese and Koreans prefer chop sticks. The Indians prefer to use their hands - it helps them sense the temperature of the food without burning their mouths. I have been to Langars (Sikh Gurudwara dinners) in California, NY, Washington DC, Vancouver BC, Dallas, Orlando and other places and they all eat with their hands. Do Not Try to discriminate against people who do not use Culer/Canto the way that you do. What are your educational qualifications by the way ?
