[Goanet] Cheers to Feni

2008-05-11 Thread Mervyn & Elsie Maciel
Was glad to read about the efforts being made  to improve the quality of our
favourite tipple.
  Whenever I offer feni to my Scottish friends, they always say that it
keeps 'repeating' itself even on the next day, and this tends to put them
off!
  If the experts can try and eliminate this, and continue with their
Quality Control, I think Feni could soon become more acceptable
worldwide, and rank with some of the best from other countries.

   Anyway, here's cheers to Feni(fortunately I have some which I brought
back on my last visit to Goa).
   Glad also to hear of a Feni festival. This reminds me of a Chilli
Festival I attended in Perth(Western Australia), where there were
hundreds of varieties of chillies on display, including many jams and
pickles etc produced from the chillies. I even bumped into a Zanzibari stall
holder selling the fiery *pili pili ho ho. *In addition to buy a jar, I was
able to brush up on my Ki-Swahili!
The two-day festival attracted thousands of chilli lovers.
Perhaps Goa could stage one some day?
