Oh, yes, I can.  Heven't you heard that Chicken Tikka
Masala is now the favorite dish among the English, and
I'm talking the colorless English, not just the
colored ones.

As for the charge of culinary narcissism and
gullet-based chauvinism, I will gladly and
mouth-wateringly plead guilty as charged.

Most Goans are like any other people in the world--just NORMAL human beings. 
I'd hate us to be pretentious and confused, and to think of ourselves as 
different or special compared to others, and consequently,  an ABNORMAL 
laughing stock.

We're OK, but it is our GOAN FOOD that is the GREATEST
in the world.

You can have your French and Chinese and Italian and
Thai and even Punjabi, but I, who can eat anything
that is not nailed down, will take Goan food over all
of those any day of the week!

 My experience of life tells me that there is some
 difference between Goans
 and others. We Goans are truly great.  R.Cabral
 
 My experience tells me that there is very little
 difference between Goans
 and others. We seem to be no greater or worse than
 any other community.  On
 average, we are  well average.
 
 Regards,
 George
 
 My experience tells me that its the same difference,
 average or not. But
 there is nothing stopping Goans from thinking they
 are great AND wanting to
 be great. Try and try, one way or another. Its
 GREAT. J. Dias.
