Mal Ferris is Irish but also very much a Goan, he was baptised by the Goan cuisine his wife Margaret (nee Machado, ex Dar es Salaam) introduced him to. They regularly visit Goa, mainly for the cuisine, the fenni and this and that. He is currently grinning from ear to ear, knowing that Goan cuisine is flourishing in Ireland!
