“…The self-determination and self-confidence of the consumer are reflected at all stages of the consumer decision process (Vrontis and Thrassou, 2007). Home food preparation and consumption played a vital role in preserving a sense of Goan's cultural heritage and history over the generations (Rosales, 2012). This could be the reason for most of the respondents (86%, f 5 181) relish ethnic Goan pork sausages than the other sausages.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to assess food safety knowledge, choice behavior and health hazard concerns of ethnic Goan pork sausage consumers through various consumer food safety indices and also to evaluate socio-demographic influences on various consumer food safety indices.Design/methodology/approachPrimary data in the form of 210 questionnaire responses were collected from Goan pork sausage consumers. Based on the responses, seven various consumer food safety indices were derived. The cumulative score of all the indices were normalized (0–1). The association between socio-demographic variables and consumer indices were evaluated using linear regression analysis, Pearson's correlation matrix, principal component analysis (PCA) and correspondence analysis (CA).FindingsThe results of the analysis indicate that the consumption of Goan pork sausages is most prevalent amongst younger people with high education having higher income. A majority of consumers have high score for the four consumer indices. The results of correlation analysis, regression analysis, PCA and CA revealed a significant association of consumer indices with socio-demographic variables.Originality/valueThe results of this study will provide a way forward for the evaluation of existing overall food safety concerns in the target population and in the future would be used for the promotion of good handling practices and health of Goan pork sausage consumers.

“…British-influenced cookery can be seen in Mumbai and Kolkata. French-Indian fusion foods are popular in Puducherry, and the Portuguese culinary transplants in Goa, Diu, and Daman have rendered Indian-Portuguese fusion foods one of the most popular in India (Rosales, 2012). Their mountainous isolation and the lack of colonial control over Bhutan and Nepal enabled those countries to maintain purer and more traditional gastronomies.…”

This paper examines the typical ways in which mass tourism has utilized cultural heritage as a salient asset for development. Tourism has long focused on extraordinary, exotic and grand heritage assets at the expense of ordinary, mundane elements the human past that are part of the everyday lives of ordinary people. The paper argues that there are numerous ways in which ordinary heritage should be researched better in South Asia, how it might be used as a tourism resource, and as a tool for community empowerment. The paper focuses on language, Indigenous minorities, religion, traditional livelihoods, and food as exemplars of ordinary heritage with significant potential for tourism and for heritage protection.

“…Food is significant in mediating relationships and constituting identities, and it is a particularly good boundary marker (Douglas 1966). In colonial societies, food has been used to produce colonial hierarchies and to reinforce the prestige of the colonisers (Robins 2010;Rosales 2012). In São Tomé food was also a fundamental way of expressing asymmetrical power relations and divisions based on race and nationality.…”
