Whether you go to Madikeri or Gonikoppa, Coorg is breathtakingly beautiful. This is the land of General Cariappa and M.M Somayya... a sample of the great Kodava tribe that traces its origin to Persia. > From: "domnic fernandes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > My family and I spent two days in Madekeri in May 2003. It is about 590 KM > from Panaji (Panaji to Mangalore - 380 KM; Mangalore > to Madekeri - 210 KM.) We stayed in a wooden house on the lake. It's a > nice, cool place to visit during the summer, and to taste Karnataka pork > dishes with plenty of garlic in it! > Domnic Fernandes > Anjuna/Dhahran, KSA > This above topic reminds me a place called Coorg or Madekeri in Karnataka. A > hill-station very close to Mangalore. It has a pleasant climate with good > hotels and good motorable roads. > Coorg is famous for Coffee plantations. Well, here the staple diet is PORK. So good that I enjoyed them for break-fast, > lunch and dinner too. > - Alfonso Bond Braganza. ..................................... The Coorgi pork is prepared with special Kodagalle vinegar made from Garcinia cambogia, a close relative of the Bhirand or Bidnam solam tree, Garcinia indica. If you want to go to Coorg , grab a copy of the OUTLOOK traveller or the Lonely Planet's India Survival Guide. If you just want to relish the Coorgi pork, you can stop by at Deepa Mahambre-Awchat's " Culture Curry" in Mumbai. 50% discount for Goans at lunch and a free feni, if one can sing a mando or a dulpod. Its not cricket, so don't say "Howzzat?" Just say "Awchat!" Deepa Awchat. She is a Goan with a typical Goan bias....for Goans. Viva Goa. Miguel
