Spent last evening with an old friend from law school, a local, bearded and pot bellied. Drank copious amounts of port and fenny at this really authentic goan eatery called florentine. The chicken kafriyal was to kill for. Florentine is a must visit for any one looking for authentic goan food.
Quite a lot was discussed over dinner, right from corruption in the legal system to the history of goan culture and the eventual yet inevitable accession ( read invasion) of goa by the Russians.
