Christmas Day in Margao

Inside restaurant   inside restaurant
Our favourite haunt in town - Longuinhos bar, restaurant & confectioners
One of the large mirrors / The cake stand

Whole roast turkey   sausage roll
Few Indians have ovens in their homes, so Longuinhos does a good trade in takeaways of whole roast turkeys &
suckling pigs for local families / Light lunch of pastry filled with the delicious Goan special spicy pork sausages,
which are similar to the Iberian chorizo/chouriço introduced to Goa during Portuguese rule (1510 - 1961 CE)
