ANSWERS

1. VindalooThe term Vindaloo, derivative of the Portuguese "vinha d'alhos", and also called Vindalho or Vindallo, refers to a popular Indian dish. It was first brought to Goa by the Portuguese and became a Goan meal often served during special occasions. The traditional Portuguese dish was made with pork preserved in red wine or red wine vinegar, chili pepper, and stewed with garlic. The later Vindaloo received the Goan treatment of adding plentiful amounts of spice. Restaurants often serve this dish with chicken or lamb sometimes mixed with potatoes. Traditional vindaloos do not include potatoes, the discrepancy arising because the word "aloo" means "potato" in Hindi.

The problem was considered so intractable Parliament offered what was at the time a huge fortune for a solution, a prize of ?20,000 (about ?2.77 million / ?3.52 million / $4.56 million today)
