"Vindaloo first appeared in 1797 when Britain invaded Portuguese Goa; the dish is a mispronunciation of the Portuguese carne de vinho e alhos, or meat cooked with wine vinegar and garlic." Close. The Portuguese is "carne em vinha de alhos", meaning meat marinated, then cooked, with wine and garlic.
