Cuisine of GoaIt is assumed that food and drink in Goa means the famous fish, curry, rice and feni package. But Goan cuisine, like the land itself, has many flavours and tastes with its vast treasure trove of culinary delicacies. For Goans, from fried fish to exotic concoctions like ambot-tik, sea food is usually a must on the menu, except for the occasional break for some religious observance. Goan food is simple but most, though not all, of it is chili hot, spicy, and pungent. Items made from rice, fish, and coconut abound in nearly every Goan meal. Seafood such as prawns, lobsters, crabs, pomfrets, clams, ladyfish, mussels, and oysters are used to make a variety of curries, fries, soups and pickles. Besides fresh seafood, dried and salted fish dishes are also highly prized by Goans.
