The India Center and the Fulbright Association Mid-Florida Chapter present a discussion with Devon Newhouse, Ph.D., exploring the global influences that have shaped Goan cuisine through the history of feni, the first distilled spirit in India to receive a Geographic Indicator (GI) designation. While feni originated from distillation techniques that predated the arrival of Europeans in India, the introduction of cashew by the Portuguese added a new ingredient with which Goans experimented.
This talk will discuss the methods of food studies that illuminate the global influences in Indian cuisine and the funding opportunities like Fulbright that make this research possible.
Moderated by Ty Matejowsky, Ph.D., Professor and Chair, Department of Anthropology, UCF
