Beef stew is eaten with what actually? I remember the good old days in Goa when the mestas(cooks) would cook for weddings at homes They would serve it with square fried bread make out of wheat flour salt and lard( pork fat) Till now we at our home eat it like that but instead of lard use Butter or Ghee.
