David Wondrich invented the Poona Club for Fatty Crab in Manhattan as a humorous nod to a made-up British officers' club, similar to the Pegu Club. Interestingly, there's an actual Poona Club in India. For more details on its history and recipe proportions shared by Wondrich, check out the NYT link.
