“Rasgolla” was actually called “Gopal Golla”
The famous Bengali “Rasgolla” was actually called “Gopal Golla”, probably discovered by a confectioner named
|
“Haradhan” from “Phulia”. It has been nomenclatured by the Paul Chowdhurys of Ranaghat. A variant of this item was the “Sponge Rasgolla” discovered by “Nobin Moira”. Verses were not only a subtle invitation but they did also tell a lot about the menu. Bengalis could never subdue their indomitable urge to invite their relatives and friends for a treat every now and then. No occasion was needed for inviting people and father-in-laws have always sent aesthetic invitations to their daughter and son-in-laws |

for a treat. One of the renowned poets of that era “Hemendra Bandyopadhyay” used to invite his daughter and son-in-law with his self composed verses at his place in Bhawanipore (Padmapukur). The verses were not only a subtle invitation but they did also tell a lot about the menu. For example:
|
| |
"Topto topto Topse mach,
Garam garam luchi,
Aja mangsa, bandha kopi,
Alu kuchi kuchi.
Siter dine esob jodi,
Khabe hata hata,
……Nombor Padmapukure,
Shigrha esho baba." |
