The butcher at the pork stall I patronise always greets customers with a cheerful smile and a "Good Morning"! Most of his regulars do not mind standing in a queue because they know that when it is their turn, 100% service will be theirs!
Also, conversing in local dialect to select the various cuts of meat is definitely out of my depth, so it is a good thing he speaks good English as well! Phew!
The recipe for this Pork Vindaloo is really simple; Again another recipe from my mom-in-law.... Never mind the more complicated ones given in cookbooks, the thing is, although the ingredients are so "simple", it tastes really good! I remember the first time I tried it... I could not stop eating it!
You can eat it "straight" (with a glass of cold beer!), eat it with steamed rice, bread or "apom". Simply delicious!
