Pre-modern features of Bengali cuisine
The Bengali cuisine took its recognizable form from the 15th century. From information and data obtained from scripts like Manasamangal it is known that the Bengalis used to freely consume meat and wine. The noted sweets during earlier times were mithai of chholar besan (gram flour) as well as the mouth-watering preparation of ola made of dola Sugar. In the 18th century, mainstream Bengali cuisine had some unique features and food items like potatoes, cauliflower, cabbage were still not popular during those periods. During those times Meat, which is an inseparable part of Bengali food today, was not prepared during festive occasions like marriage and the thread-wearing ceremony. Food containing salt was considered contaminated by the residents and hence the dishes were cooked with less or no salt at all. However, some important modifications in Bengali cuisines occurred as a combined result of urbanization and the growth of the urban culture.
