Associating communities with an ingredient is common practice: Bengalis like fish, Keralites like beef, and Goans like pork. It is a pity how this stereotyping, in fact, erases the nuances that come with preparing local fare. It's an idea we get thinking about when, on a late Sunday evening, we visit the nondescript Tardeo eatery Goan Spice after a much-loved trip back in June last year. Immediately after the review, a colleague had remarked, "Arey! How can it be Goan if they don't serve pork?" To be fair, it's not like every Goan bleeds of sorpotel. But to be fairer, there's so much more than pig meat.
