Dear Dr.Carmo,
Maddel or coconut feni is a hot favourite in Bardez also. It is a must for Para
and Recheiado, specailly of bagddo[Mackeral] or pamplitt [Pomfret. If in
Navelim-Salcet [there is also a Navelim in Bicholim!] you have a place called
Maddel, we have one just outside Mapusa, towards Tivim.
The people's, specially the tourists [except the Germans], fascination is with
cashenuts and caju feni. The G.I. was being processed for registering that. Mac
Vaz, grandson of Pedro Vicente Vaz [PVV] dragged his feet...and the G.I.
application will now be wrapped in Red Tape. One has to strike the iron and
temper the steel while it is hot! Now it is not.
It is not every day that one gets an IAS officer like Alban Couto[ now Advisor
to the Government of Goa] K.P.Kipgen, Vinod Kumar Duggal [now Union Home
Secretary],Shakti Sinha [now in World Bank], Vivek Rai [now in Delhi Admn.],
Dev Singh Negi[now in Andamans] or J.K. Dadoo!
IMHO Feni, Maddel or cajel, tastes best with a little crushed ice and a dash of
lime. Water , if ice is not available.
Viva Goa.

BTW what kind did you exactly mean - Maddel or Caju ?
We Shastikars, who always drink in moderation (to our health of course !)
prefer our neat Maddel or with a little soda - The Caju smell lingers
longer and that makes many Bardezkars smell like bebdos !
Best Regards,

Dear Frank,
The only Britto Boy who I know is Down Under is Mariano D'Souza from
Saligao from SSC of 1976. I do not know if there is anyone from the early
1980s, the BOBs you are looking for.
We are having a Reunion of Britto Boys on 02 December, 2006 under the
auspices of the newly formed Britto's OBA and we are also publishing a
nostalgic book entitled BRITTO'S RETRO for release on that occasion. Details
at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] .Perhaps, one of
your classmates will know if there is another classmate in Australia.
There are quite a few Xavierites in Australia. Some of them may be in Goa
for the BMX Reunion from 16 to 21 December, 2006. Check www.bmxgoa.com for
details.
Regards,
Miguel
Viva Goa.Say it with feni.
