Dear Mr. Rangel-Ribeiro,
I agree with you.
To my knowledge the term 'Goanese' was synonymous with derogation.
Certainly for the Goans living abroad.
Its use by the authoress implies a contextual misunderstanding of the
Goan ethos.
One hopes her recipes are better.

Dear Frederick,
Since Ms. Alda Figueiredo loves Goa, Goans, and Goan food so much, and has
also
been in and out of Goa over the years, what on earth led her to use the term
Goanese? The term was applied to us disparagingly by outsiders, and as a
teenager
in Bombay I often heard it used
