From the book 'Eating India' by Chitrita Banerji:
Breakfast in Indian cities, especially in Calcutta, which was the capital of British India for a long time and where the majority of the Anglo-Indians are still to be found, was one meal that was significantly affected by the colonial experience. *Although the Portuguese are credited with introducing Western bread to India, it was the dominant presence of the ruling British and their Anglo-Indian cohorts that led to the popularity *of *toasted sliced bread and eggs (boiled, poached, fried, scrambled, made into omelets). Westernized Indians, especially those who had the opportunity to go to England for higher education, came back with many Anglicized habits, and it was in their dining rooms that this Western idea *of *breakfast first acquired an Indian presence. Since then, bread has become as common an item in Indian grocery stores as it is in the West, and eating it is no longer limited to the urban elite. *
