Cecil: I completely sympathise with you Marjorie. I get a similar feeling when watching Baywatch!!

Marjorie: i just love cherissa ! instead fo tlakign about whther the morth or south goa cheriss are better, we could start exporting cherissa to palces outside goa..who cares then whehter they frm the north ro south ...what say ???
Cecil:
1) Sausages are exported from Goa to a lot of countries.
2) It does matter whether they are made in Salcete or Bardez.
You see Marjorie a lot of factors effect the final quality of the sausage. From the basic ingredients to the mixture, processing, filling, drying, packaging, storage etc. For example sun-dried sausages taste distinctly different from those dried above the local baker's mud oven. And sausages with too little fat content don't taste as good nor last as long (as the fat also acts as a preservative). In Salcete they're always in a great hurry to get things done with, and this does not make for good sausages. Premature packaging without proper slow heating is very common.
To give you an analogy try Caju Feni distilled in South Goa and Caju Feni distilled in North Goa. There's a vast difference. North Goan Caju Feni will tantalise your tongue, burn your throat, hit your liver, blow your mind and splatter you across the wall as it explodes inside you. South Goan Caju Feni tastes like urrack mixed with sewer water and does not even tickle the insides - like their tiny sausages!
I must admit though that best Palm Feni is made in South Goa.

Marjorie: and i'm from salcette, so all iv eaten are salcette sausages..and i will readily claim that bardez sausages are supreme if i indeed have a chance to compare so anyone volunteering to send me around 50 salcette sausages n another 50 bardez sausages so ic an compare :P.....
Cecil:
That is a brilliant idea. But you see Marjorie 50 Salcete sausages will fit in a tiny cheese tin whereas 50 Bardez sausages will need a medium sized sack at least.
Besides Marjorie, with sausages as with other things in life, one doesn't necessarily have to taste and compare before deciding. There are experienced people whose word you should take. Ask around among your married female friends who spend a lot of time in the kitchen. They will tell you that there's nothing quite comparable to a Bardez sausage. Definitely not those tiny thumbnail sized apologies that are fobbed off as sausages in South Goa!

Marjorie: if not, then let this mouth watering topic coem to an end. it is not good to tempt those on diets, or those who cannot avail fo sausages so easily
Cecil:
You can talk. Baywatch comes on Star World every night at 11 pm. And then there's Fashion TV and Trends TV and Sex & The City on HBO and Late Night on AXN and MTV and Channel V and the other day they featured Caligula on The History Channel and ....
Ooooooooooohhhhhhh!!

Lotsa luv Marjorie Carvalho
