I did not find it interesting at all. Too many glaring errors from the opening scene. I can understand his Western agenda to find the bizzare ( or he wont go on air). What I find appaling is that Yellow went around like she is an expert. She knows Italian FOOD , vastly different from Goan or Indian CUISINE. Pastas and pizzas do not a cuisine make. She is half Sadar and half Italian(?) married to a Parsi. Not the ideal local. Sweet girl but ....and he started off by saying Goanese (sic) food is a mix of Arabic? They were traders and yes they did impport in stuff like oranges and cumin. But the larger legacy came from Africa. The kaffir grill which gave us cafreal, one among many dishes and fruits. His map also put Candaulim somewhere up river near Pomburpa? So i put it off when got to Mapoosaa A four day holiday cum work ends up looking like this! Hope he got a major tummy upset, slims down and returns to the Goans for a right royal Inquistion. W
