The cuisine of Goa is an extraordinary amalgamation of Portuguese and local sensibilities, mainly those of the Saraswat Hindus. The lengthy period of Portuguese rule, besides that of the Muslim and Hindu kingdoms, has left an ineradicable influence on the novel approach of Goan cooking and this has led to an interesting mix of tasty and spicy cuisine.
The staple diet of Goa is fish curry and rice. Unlike the rest of India, most Hindus in Goa eat fish. In the monsoons, when no fresh fish is available, most Goans have very long faces.The other favorite dish is pork, although chicken is a close second. In Goa like many other places in the world, alcohol, for some, is a major problem. The main cause of which is FENI. This is the local drink in Goa, made from either coconut sap or cashew fruit.
Few of the famous Goan Cuisine preparations are Feni, Bebinca, Xacutti, Ambottik, Fish Caldine, Prawns taipei, Sprouted moong ussal. Goan food is simple but most of it is chili hot, spicy, and pungent.
Goans prepare different foods for different occasions – daily consumption, festive (religious and non-religious) occasions, food for the gods, rituals, ancestors, and according to the season. Food for daily consumption consists of rice, curry, fish/vegetables and pickles depending on the economic status. Goans are basically non-vegetarian. Fish is an important item of their diet. But Hindus, unlike their Christian counterparts, are usually vegetarian and do not consume fish and meat (chicken and mutton) during religious festivals.

Goa governor S.S. Sidhu Wednesday said that the promotion of Goa as a tourist destination should go beyond its beaches.
Speaking at the Republic Day parade here, Sidhu said that diversification of Goa’s tourism portfolio was key to the state’s economic prosperity.
‘Ninety percent of tourism in Goa has been beach-based. Apart from maintaining our edge in this regard, it is equally important to initiate the process of diversification of tourism,’ Sidhu said.
The governor said that the state government should avail of central government schemes which encouraged the development of alternative tourism avenues like eco-tourism, adventure tourism, back water and heritage tourism. Sidhu said Goa has a lot of scope for these avenues.
Speaking about the expansion of Goa’s existing airport at Dabolim, Sidhu said that the upgradation and expansion of the airport would be done by mid-2012, and added that construction of Goa’s second international airport, a greenfield project at Mopa, in north Goa, some 50 km from here, would take half a decade more.
‘Keeping in view the fast growth of civil aviation and the estimated increase in passenger and cargo tariff in the coming years as well as requirement of general aviation, the urgency to pursue the construction of greenfield international airport at Mopa cannot be over-emphasised,’ Sidhu said.
