Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

Depending on your taste buds and appetite for them, Siri-paya continues to be a favorite dish of the Amritsaris and Lahoris,,,although it is also eaten with pleasure in other parts of the country. It is taken with rice for dinner but it also tastes wonderful with ”Kulcha” or ”Nan’ when taken as breakfast. Both cattle and goat/sheep payas are eaten as a ‘delicacy”.In Punjabi language, the portion of the ‘head’ which is consumed is called ”KHUD”” and ”Zabaan”while the ‘feet” or ‘calves” of the both are commonly known as ”KHARORAY” and eaten cooked with pleasure by the choosy ‘gourmet”.

I haven’t read all the comments but most tend to ignore the fact that bill board mentions ‘bum’ and not ‘bomb’. This is not my observation, Tariq Ali observed the same in his book ‘Will Pakistan Survive’ a long ago. Urdu rendition of bomb seems to have a wider and deeper meaning.
And I hope the chef washed his hands after blowing his nose and there is protection from ‘birdie bombs’ from the tree; or does that add to the taste!
Zainub, sirri’s the HEAD of bakra :D
Never been able to muster up courage for two dishes; Siri-pai and Nihari.
As a separate issue does anyone else not like teenday as well?
