John Gomes of B X Furtado is definitely Goan When we lived in Calcutta in 1944 to 1947 we had very good cooks from Chittagong with names like Goans -- they were descendants of Bengalis converted by the Portuguese -- I know West End Hotel Bombay had their chief cook from among these people Obviously the Portuguese helped these people like they did to us Goans to appreciate and improve upon their meat and fish dishes Cheers Aloysius
