Gin seems to have originated in Netherland. Although a lot of people argue that it was first of all produced in Italy.  It doesn't matter where it originated from, but its production process is nearly same. Gin is produced by distilling juniper berries are distilled with a grain mash. Grain mash constitutes the following: corn, barley, rye, and wheat. And to it, a lot of falvors such as cassis, coriander, fennel, ginger, lemon peel, and even botanic flavorings are added.  So, for the sake of simplicity, we can divide gin into 2 main categories or types: ... [more..]

I can remember that all my schoolbooks still showed Goa as Portuguese when I was at school - they hadn't caught up with the 1961 Indian takeover. I'm staying in Fontainhas, one of the oldest parts of Panjim, which is the capital of Goa State and it still seems quite European in appearance. It is sometimes known as Goa's Latin Quarter. Most of the food is Indian in style but with lots of influence from the Portuguese which means that this is the only part of India where pork can be quite a speciality.

In the interests of research, I am going to have to try the coconut type too. ... [more..]
