Lahore 1992 became a sister city with Xi, China. It is not safe for Lahore to be introduced by local people. Foreigners are usually afraid to go shopping at night. In the evening, led by local friends, we deliberately "ventured" to eat a meal in the street instead of eating in a hotel. In the shabby and dark streets, there are many people who are similar to those in China, and most of them are not well dressed. Pakistanis like to eat spicy food, and their curry food made of pepper and turmeric is famous all over the world. Most Pakistani dishes, whether meat, fish, beans or vegetables, are spicy, and kimchi is also spicy. They don't have the habit of cooking, whether beef, mutton, fish or all kinds of beans and vegetables are cooked thoroughly. Common dishes include tomatoes, potato salad, stewed beans, stewed chicken with tomato Chili sauce and so on. Stewed beef and mutton, vegetable paste, minced peas, minced meat starch, patties, lettuce, etc. Edible oil is mainly butter, but also vegetable oil such as sunflower oil and olive oil. Pan and pressure cooker are used instead of frying pan. The staple food of Pakistanis is flour and rice, a kind of coarse flour cake called "Ciabatti" is the most popular, as well as oil cake and fried potato stuffing "triangle". People usually eat western snacks and bread, too. Rice is often mixed with various seasonings to make butter pilaf and meat pilaf. Another kind of colored sweet rice is a must-have food for a wedding reception. Instead of eating with knives, forks and chopsticks, they wash their hands and grab them with their right hands (the left hand feels unclean). Their hand grasping skills are very skilled and they are not afraid of scalding. In both urban and rural areas, shallow dishes are used to hold rice and vegetables, probably because they are suitable for holding cakes. As long as Pakistan is rich, it is possible to marry several wives, and each room should be separated, so rich people can have multiple wives. When I came to my friend's house, I didn't see a lady at home from entering the door, chatting, eating and leaving. The lady who cooked and served was taken to the middle cabin, and then my friend's brother took it from the cabin to the restaurant, with a curtain hanging in the middle as a cover. It turns out that this is their traditional rule. Women can't see men outside the house, and women should cover up in the street. Lahore is the soul of Pakistan, with a history of 2000 years, which is a perfect embodiment of Mughal national strength. The Pakistani said: A Pakistani who has never been to Lahore is in vain.
