Hi Rene
As you rightly said World Goa day is also a celebration of our internationally
acclaimed Cuisine.
A few weeks back, we in London celebrated 45 years service of our Goan
Association, the Global
Goan Convention and rounding off the week, a spectacular Goan festival.
To celebrate this huge event in the Goan calendar, we at Dos Santos Foods who
have served the
Goan community in the UK for many years had as our centre piece a Goan style
Hog roast which
provided a delicious sandwich filling together with our Goa sausage stuffing.
For the World Goa day celebrations we will be catering at the official UK event
at The Friars
Aylesford Kent on 27 August. At our stall, we will have our ever popular Goa
Sausages, together
with our newly launched Top Table Goan Pickles including our Prawn Balchao.
Also in our line up
will be our seasonable Goan Sweets including Bebinca, Kormolas, Bolinhas, Doce
and Nankatais.
World Goa day would not be complete unless we had an old traditional favourite,
Sorpotel with
Sannas and our recent creation, Goa sausage samosas.
All our Goan foods are made in the UK to an EEC standard using modern
technology and respecting
the environment.
Wishing all Goans the world over a very special World Goa Day.
Remember to share the Love of our Goan Culture.
Best Wishes
Alex Santos

From Goan Voice today:
Occupational Meanings of Food Preparation for Goan Canadian Women
12 Jul: Journal of Occupational Science, Volume 18, Issue 3, 2011. Pages 210 -
222. By Dr Brenda L. Beagan & Andrea D'Sylva (Dalhousie University, Halifax,
Canada)…This qualitative study explores the meanings of food and food-related
occupations for 13 Goan women in Toronto… Catholic Goans have few unique
markers of ethnic distinction from other Indians… In this context, Goan cuisine
becomes a powerful boundary marker, and food-related occupations carry a
particular salience in cultural maintenance. Skill in culinary occupations may
then be experienced as a form of power or 'currency' for women, because they
are able to produce a highly significant symbol of culture… 5,865 words. Click

Andrea D'Sylva (photo) is of Goan/East Indian parentage and was raised in
Karachi. She did her Master's thesis on Goan women, identity and food. The
thesis is titled 'You can't be a Goan and not eat Goan food' To read it, full
