Talk:Vindaloo

message: This article is seriously messed up, seemingly trying to describe two wildly different dishes as if they were one. The tangy Portuguese/Goan pork dish with vinegar and plenty of garlic has nothing but the name in common with the British/Indian curry that took its name. The "alho" (=garlic) of the original dish became "aloo" and was reinterpreted to mean "potatoes" when the name got abducted, which is why the more well-known curry has potatoes in it.
Is there anyone who actually knows anything about this (and has tasted both dishes, preferably) and has good references to cite? It needs a rewrite.

replies: text: Definitely called Vindy or Vindi in the UK.  But it's fair to remove it unless citation provided.  The Rambling Man 09:10, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: What does "Alho" mean?

message: What you get in the typical Indian restaurant is not what is served in Goa, but far from it. It is a synonym for hot curry in the UK, but is not actually the dish. While it is not popular called a vindaloo, should the article not bring the differences to the front. E.g. While not the same as the Goan dish, many Indian restaurants serve a hot curry dish commonly known as a vindaloo.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.106.107.47 (talk) 11:47, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I have put the "western" Vindaloo into its own section.  Prior to the edit the article was flitting between the authentic vindaloo and the western version. Hope this will be acceptable.  Rugxulo (talk) 21:30, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

message: "the" Anglo-Indian version?  There isn't only one.  Kostaki mou (talk) 19:23, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nowadays, the Anglo-Indian version of a vindaloo is marinated in vinegar, sugar, fresh ginger and spices overnight and then cooked with the addition of further spices. 

message: Not all Bangladeshis are Muslim.  About 9%, I believe, are Hindu, and some are Buddhist and Christian, so presumably they'd have no problem "handling" pork.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:18A:8101:C870:AC80:6E23:CB19:B58A (talk) 15:10, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
