Our elders are often heard rerruruscing nostalgically about those good old Portuguese days. The Portuguese and their famous loaves of bread. Those eaters of loaves mjght have vanished but the makers are still there. We still have amongst us the mixers, the moulders and those who bake the loaves. Those age old time tested furnaces still exist. The fire in the furnaces had not yet been extinguished. The thud and the jingle of the traditional baker.s bamboo, heralding his arrival in the morrung, can still be heard in some places. May be the father is not alive but the son still carries on the family profession.
After Goa.s liberation, people used to say nostalgically that the Portuguese bread varushed with the paders. But the paders have managed to survive because they have perfected the art of door delivery service. The paders pick up the knowledge of bread making from traditions in the family. The leavened, over-baked bread is a gift of the Portuguese to India. (Adapted from Nanda Kumar Kamat.s The unsung lives of Goan Paders.).
Both the pieces are different. The piece on the left gives a vivid and correct description of the baker but on the right it is hazy and different. Their language and the text fail to serve the real purpose.
