Hi John, Glad to see you've entered the 'nachne' debate! I well remember matama but feel this is more like sorghum with larger grains than finger millet(wimbi in Swahili). The locals even made quite an intoxicating brew from wimbi(nachne). Anyway, let's wait and see what our other Goan sages have to say.Salama Bwana.
