Re: What kind of food will have a hard time getting accepted in Pakistan?
Russian food and Jamaican food.
And to the person who said bagel and cream cheese- you know a couple years back I went to pakistan and was staying in Islamabad... I was feening for a bagel but NO ONE seemed to know what the heck it was or where it could be found. I finally managed to score on at hotspot, and it tasted really good and fresh too! but I dont think its something thats eaten alot.
Also I dont remember seeing anyone eating cereal... they dont really consider that as food.... its all about pooris, cholay, parathay, aloo, and eggs for breakfast.

Jamaican food? Half their food is curries made with Indian spices. Maybe the food served in American Jamaican restaurants is different.
About cereal, they even have a local brand called Fauji Flakes.

Pakistani cuisine has some dishes in which steak is cut into smaller and thinner strips and fried with tomatoes and onions.
But the people are not used to eating huge blocks of steak like the Americans....and it would be even more unappetizing to them to eat it rare or medium rare. They prefer their meat cooked all the way through. Don't blame em. Slightly bloody/raw meat is eeeewwww!

I agree with Sushi. What about like seafood other than Fish/Shrimp. Like Crab/Lobster/Scallops/Calamari....etc....say a Red Lobster. Do you thin it would survive in Pakistan?

Put some mirch masala in anything and Pakistani people will eat it. Even if you want to sell sushi , just fry the fish and sprinkle lots of chaat masala or lace it with chutni and you will do good business.

try selling sashimi in pak...hehe
I know, but that is the only way to sell sushi in Pakistan.
Sushi has many fillings one of them is raw fish, I can never eat sushi with raw fish in it so I look for some variant, if I have to go to a sushi bar for some office party.

Re: What kind of food will have a hard time getting accepted in Pakistan?
^ Ditto about the root beer! I don't like the taste myself. It kinda tastes like aqua fresh tooth paste mixed with brown food coloring and bicarbonate soda to give it some fizz. Don't like Dr. Pepper either.
Never developed a taste for fish and don't even wanna go near anchovies. And salmon looks gross! I do however like shrimp and just yesterday I tried crab rangoon for the first time and LOVED it! These are the only 2 seafoods i can handle right now.
Re: What kind of food will have a hard time getting accepted in Pakistan?
^ can't do it. Don't like the raw-ish rare-ish look it has. And i find the taste too strong of not only salmon but fish in general. I just prefer the milder taste of chicken. Tried eating fried fish that my dad made once beause I know how healthy it is. And he's a good cook and it tasted alright, but it took me a looooong time to finish one small piece. Because I just haven't developed a liking for it. To me, fish is like an acquired taste.
all the mirch masaley and KETCHUP??!
