Keeping alive the Goan Pau.



                  

The bread in Goa is more than just an element of food; it is an insignia of the most talked about Goan virtue of hospitality. People in Bombay love to take a jibe at Goans, by nicknaming them as ‘Pau’, simply because they cannot do without their staple diet. Wherever you travel in India, you will never find bread like the Pau of Goa.

The most unenviable part of the snack is it indifferent taste, that is likely to induce you to condemn it as un-edible. However this plainness allows you to dip it in any curry or gravy and enjoy that tangy experience. The Pau allows you to diffuse yourself,very much like the culture of Goa which is so open and available to the multi-national attitudes and likes. What makes the Pau so distinct?
