Employees of the US Consulate General in Karachi revelled in a traditional Iftar with a Pakistani family during the holy month of Ramazan.

The US Consulate General in Karachi shared pictures of the feast on their Facebook wall. It was the first time they were having iftar with a Pakistani family and they enjoyed savouring Pakistani delicacies as well as learning about the tradition of fasting.

“We loved sharing and celebrating these traditions with our Pakistani friends!” the post added.

The Americans enjoyed having Rooh Afza, though they said it was a bit too sweet for their taste buds.

Nice gesture !

I think that @Providence @jhungary and @LeveragedBuyout should be kept away from an Iftar party 'cause they'd eat all the pakoraas !

In case you guys are wondering what that heavenly Pakistani treat called the Pakora is....its these :-

Pakoras with Mint Chutney !

 

[RescueRanger]

NO fruit chaat! This is an outrage! Just kidding, very nice gesture. But nothing beats the US Ambassador having breakfast at Capri in Lahore! Now that was pretty cool.

Jaam-e-Shireen / Ruh Afza

@Providence - No reply !

Americans and Pakora's .... lol that sounds a bit funny

 

[OTTOMAN]

Anyone would tell its a fake iftari

 

[Jungibaaz]

No pakoray spotted, therefore not a proper iftar. Clearly a staged American conspiracy.

 

[Raja.Pakistani]

I found it nice that they did not had so much foods in there as you often see in aftaar parties which get wasted most of times. They have quantity which they could eat and finish

 

[Providence]

wow .. some awesome mouth watering delicacies there..

Great pics!! And great show of nation to nation goodwill of friendship and solidarity. I wish the Pakistani media shows these pictures and highlights good things that the US does (and has been doing for 7 decades) for the Pakistani people!!

Thankyou ! Please try googling something called CultuRAL CODE Switching.

The consulate engages in a lot of relationship building activities and is a source of great push to the city's social and cultural events. Not to mention the quite a few arsehole Pakistanis who tweet [HASHTAG]#deathtoamerica[/HASHTAG] and then sit at McDonalds whilst they apply on the consulate website for the fullbright scholarship.

Feel like skinning such people alive, cutting them up and feeding them to dogs.. and then uploading all of that to live leak.
