I have been reading this discussion about " poder" and goan bread. Do you guys know who bakes the bread in goan bakeries?
I was on a holiday in Goa recently and bought bread early in the morning from usual delivery boy on the cycle . He could not understand a word of Concani. Because he was a tribal from Jarkhand . Interestingly he told me that he bakes the bread and then delivers it. By the way he did not know anything about baking bread until he migrated to Goa Later on I asked the bakery owner about the incident and was told that most bakery workers in Goa today come from Jarkhand. I am sure while transferring the skills there was something which went amiss because the bread does not the same anymore! Aires Cabral
