INDIA
Cavelossim Beach, Goa
Total Score 68 out of 100
The WOW factor score in the total scoring for this offering fully reflects where I ate the vindaloo, but the overall score I ended up with is fair given its texture when served, its saltiness, and the lack of freshness. But I will always remember it and will visit Goa many times again to find the best vindaloo I know I can find there.

WOW Factor
9
(It was a poor vindaloo overall, and crazy salty, and had sand in it. But it was on the beach in Goa, and a home-based creation by the family owners = extra, extra bonus points.)
Price (on menu)
It was 1997. I have no clue. Those brain cells were lost a long time ago.
