Goa
is a gourmet's paradise, with the overall quality of food being excellent.
Seafood in particular is a gastronomic treat. The winter months have a
bounty of Crayfish, Tiger Prawns, Squid, Mussels, Mollusks, and Crabs as
well as Fish. On the beaches itself and in the villages adjoining them,
many local families run tiny hotels and restaurants. In addition to
seafood cooked in the local as well as Western styles, there are Chicken,
Beef and Pork dishes. Some local dishes worth a mention are Chicken
Xacuti, Cafreal, Pork Vindaloo, Sarapatel, Fish & Prawn Caldiline,
Reichado and Balchoo. Large proportions of dishes and deserts contain
coconut in them. Some sweet Goan temptations include Bebinca, a layered
sweet, Doce, Ale Bete, Bathique, Cocado and Bulinos.
