Answer:
Different kinds of breads are important during the different occasions. Bolinhas had to be prepared during Christmas and other festivals. The mothers used to prepare sandwiches on the occasion of their daughter’s engagement. So, the baker’s furnace was essential.
The baker’s furnace was an essential part of a traditional Goan village because the baker’s services were needed on a daily basis and also during celebrations.
The baker would come by each day, to deliver loaves of bread for the elders of the house while the children waited eagerly for the bread-bangles. Bread was an important part of all feasts and festivities. For example, it was a must to serve sandwiches during an engagement party. Similarly, the sweet bread called ‘bol’ was always included in the wedding gifts. Festivals like Christmas demanded the presence of ‘bolinhas’ and cakes on the menu. The baker did good business during regular days and even more so during festivities, since the villagers needed his products, making him an important part of the village set-up.
