Barring pesky international regulations and whatnot…what are some foods from Pak that you would bring back?
And to be more practical…what could and should be brought back, that won’t cause any issues or ruin my luggage? 
Re: What would you bring back from Pakistan?
My mum brought back Dalda ghee ke dabbey, frying pans and taweey from Pakistan. When I came back to Dubai from the summer break, there was even a frying pan in my hand carry!
Re: What would you bring back from Pakistan?
barfi... I love it and I usually bring back a lot of it... you can also freeze it to use in gajr ka halwa in winter! I have also brought gulab jaman without the sheera!!
what else, dry fruit, dhoda, pateesa, rewri etc usually to give away to people!
hmm besides mithai, I have brought back shan masalay, custard powder, cooked food cans (like for haleem, chicken karahi etc) in my luggage.. when my mom was visiting my mil sent desi ghee for her son so thats an option if you or your husband is interested in desi ghee ke parathay and/or halwa!
and don't make fun of me but I am guilty of bringing chips, candy, and biscuits too because I grew up in Pakistan, developed the taste and now I dun think any chips or candy in the US tastes as good as the ones in Pakistan so I bring back loads of them even for friends!
Re: What would you bring back from Pakistan?
We get the dry papads that come in various shapes and are fried before eating. Also pan masala such as Gogo. And kalakand. And color wali moti siwayan.
Re: What would you bring back from Pakistan?
I'm sure many ppl bring back, gogo, ding dong etc... surprised to see tht ppl actually bring so much (food stuff) back....
Re: What would you bring back from Pakistan?
barfi, gulabjaman, and that hairy patisa :D
Re: What would you bring back from Pakistan?
Oh come on Sara, don't we get everything here in NY??
I think get clothes that are usually expensive here. Any food item, I say you can buy from here, from mithai to masalay. I got some really nice ethnic wall hangings/pillow covers etc. that I had hard time finding here or are very expensive.
Re: What would you bring back from Pakistan?
^ Yup everything is available in NY.....but just like with clothes, you get more variety for a better price. :D
Re: What would you bring back from Pakistan?
I would say the same as GTG :D
Re: What would you bring back from Pakistan?

Re: What would you bring back from Pakistan?
I used to bring Green tea packs everytime I visited my parents …
My husband brings along his collection of shan masala’s and Nido powder packs … Masala’s are sort of expensive here in the UK … and Nido is very very expensive … But Nido has definitely come in handy through out the year …
Next time we go , I will be bringing back a matti ki handi .. coz I have heard that food tastes yummy when made in a matti handi
Re: What would you bring back from Pakistan?
1) Akhroot ka Halwa (from shop near Urdu baazar)
2) Nimko/Snacks (from Nimko corner - Saddar Karachi)
3) Seasonal Fruit.

Rubri , gajjak , till k laddo , these things are not available here , you can begin importing them and become millionaire. 
Re: What would you bring back from Pakistan?
Some latest software CDs… 
Btw, if you wanna get mithai, get it from the airport while coming back. You just need to have some room in your hand carry for that. They pack good so there wont be any dripping hopefully and their quality is good as well.
Re: What would you bring back from Pakistan?
Last time hubby went , he bought lots of wheat porridge … we used it for almost a year for haleem 
Re: What would you bring back from Pakistan?
Bring back 'myself'safely... :D
Re: What would you bring back from Pakistan?
^ but I am not food :)
Re: What would you bring back from Pakistan?
It never occured to me to bring back any food-related items until last year. We got a bunch of baked goodies (mostly cookies) from Gourmet. Despite proper packing, at least a quarter of them turned into crumbs or broke. The rest were intact and were enjoyed with tea and coffee for weeks. Yum!
Re: What would you bring back from Pakistan?
Crates and crates of green pakola 
Re: What would you bring back from Pakistan?
I brought nothing....but dry fruits might be a good idea.
