It was the cooks of Nawab's Kitchen, who introduced potatoes into the famous Calcutta Biryani for the first time and he established a menagerie in his house perhaps one of the very first. Read this book by Sudipta Mitra on on last nawab of Oudh One person found this helpful. I am really overwhelmed after reading this book.
I have been born and brought up at Calcutta but it is really unfortunate that we rarely know anything about Nawab Wazid Ali Shah. We read a lot about the Bengali babu culture, the British influence in our culture and about the various monuments built at that period. But we are really ignorant about the contribution of Nawab wazid Ali Shah in our classical music,food and the grandeur of his truly Nawabi lifestyle.
The small Lucknow that he built at Metaibruz with the palaces and a private zoo are nowhere mentioned in our "so called bengali history. Finally it is my earnest request to the people who are really interested about the past of our loving city Calcutta must read it - Thanks to Sudipta Mitra. Compilation of well known facts.
