🌟Ever wondered how Bengal's beloved dessert, Ledikeni, got its unique name? 🍬 This iconic sweet, a cousin of the classic roshogolla, has a story that’s as rich as its taste! Back in the 19th century, when the British ruled India, Lord Canning’s wife, Lady Charlotte Canning, was known for her love of Bengali sweets. To impress her, renowned sweet-maker Bhim Chandra Nag created a new dessert – soft, juicy, and slightly denser than the traditional roshogolla. The dessert won her heart, and in her honor, it was named Lady Kenny! 🎀 The name Lady Kenny evolved because many Bengalis at the time found it difficult to pronounce Lady Canning accurately. The local accent and linguistic nuances transformed Canning into Kenny, which stuck over time. Today, Lady Kenny is cherished across Bengal, a testament to the blend of colonial history and local culinary genius. Its subtle sweetness and delicate texture make it a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth.
