Re: History of Brands
Ok there is this Ugham Halwa which has become famous in Sindh during last decade. Its made from a jadi booti found in Kirthar range (a hilly area between Sindh and Balochistan). Fayyaz sweets (one who makes this halwa) marketed their products by writing the name of this on hills near Highway.. Now it has become the specialty of the area.

Re: History of Brands
Only difference is than Pandits are politically very strong while Ahmeddiyas are politically weak, In India ahmedis are counted as muslims, so if we substract ahmedis out, Muslim’s education level goes to gutter:bummer:, Only Ahmedis have science nobels apart from pandits:)
Mathura ke pede, agre ka petha, amritsar ki naan, rawalpindi ke chhole, etc. even in town level, Pappu ke golgappe, shailu ke samose etc also get popular:)
precisely like Rail train, station were introduced by brits hence they have english generic names:)

Re: History of Brands
what about Expresoo Coffee Shop??
Re: History of Brands
The history of coffee makers began with the original Turkish coffee pots, until the drip coffee machine was developed, followed by the espresso machine.
Espresso originated in Italy. In fact, the word espresso is the Italian word for fast. Espresso is a drink that results from forcing water through finely ground coffee resulting in a full extraction of coffee flavor. This result was not always easy to attain, however, as espresso machines have come a long way since their beginning.
Espresso, as we know it today, originated at the beginning of the twentieth century. In 1901, Luigi Bezzera built a coffee machine that had a boiler and four divisions. This machine forced steam and boiling water through coffee and into the cup. This machine is considered the beginning of espresso.
The History of Espresso
**
Espresso in Pakistan**
The year 2004 saw the start of the coffee revolution when Espresso became the (Karachi) city’s first espresso bar. Since then, the city has witnessed a cultural change where going for coffee or ‘doing’ coffee most often means meeting at an Espresso coffee house. Espresso serves its premium coffees in Karachi at three locations; the original espresso bar in Zamzama, the coffee house on Khayaban-e-Shahbaz and at the Forum Mall. One can now sample these premium coffees in Lahore as well at Espresso’s new location on Mian Mahmood Kasuri Road in Gulberg III. All outlets offer seamless Wi-Fi.

Now this reminds me controversies revolving around 'Coca-Cola' & 'PEPSI'. While the Coca-Cola logo was made controversial by watching from a specific angel, I myself watched posters in places like State Bank of Pakistan for PEPSI = Pay Each Penny to Save Israel :D
I think PC (Pearl Continental) is the biggest chain of hotels in Pakistan. waise Pathan Continental (Dhaba hotels) surpasses any chains of hotels in Pakistan :D
Re: History of Brands
there is no need to save Israel from anyone rather we need to safegaurd entire Arabian Peninsula from Israelis:D. In India Dhaba is mostly Sardar thing:D
I heard liquor is banned in Pakistan, anyways what is the most popular brand in liquor?

Its officially banned but not for bureaucrats and Govt officers :D I think the most famous would be Murree Brewery's products having 'Two horses' as Logo. Murree Brewery is owned by a Parsi family (probably near relative of Bapsi Sidhwa- writer of Ice candyman) :)
Re: History of Brands
In delhi, liquors are not sold after 2000 hrs, my hubby said this once, I told him, after this I can get home delivery:D. Parsis are very good bussinessmen as well. If it is banned in India, there would be revolt in Indian Punjab:D
Is tobaocco chewing prevalent in Pakistan like it is in Kanpur-Lucknow-Patna belt?
Re: History of Brands
Not exactly.. Not seen many people chewing tobacco here. Before the introduction of branded cigarettes, people used to have Beedi.... (Beedi jalai re jigar se piya....). My Dada's business was Beedi Merchant and he used to import Beedi leave from India.
The famous local brand of Pakistani cigarette is K-2 (K2 being part of the Karakoram Range and 2nd highest peek) :)
Naswaar is most common in Pasthtun community rather than tobacco. Even in Saddar Karachi, we see borads 'Naswaar Dastyaab hai- Naswaar available' :D
Re: History of Brands
I tried tobacco only once, Kesar Gutkha:D, it a cheap intoxicant, and quite useless for people like me:D, 9 out of 10 men are tobacco chewer in Kanpur-lucknow-patna region:)
Yeah Tendu leaves are found in India and often being reported that it is smuggled to pakistani side:D
In liquor we have XXX Rum, and Old Monk, Rum is most difficult to swallow down the throat:)
what is Naswaar?? is it some sort of drug??
