After sampling Burns Road food: US envoy Blome ‘decides’ to move to Karachi
US ambassador, known for his keen interest in local cultures, indulged in some of the street’s most celebrated dishes
KARACHI: The United States Ambassador to Pakistan, Donald Blome, paid an engaging visit to Karachi’s famous food street, Burns Road, and feasted on its legendary bites.
The US ambassador, known for his keen interest in local cultures, indulged in some of the street’s most celebrated dishes, including the iconic Nihari, grilled chicken boti, Rabri, special falooda, and a refreshing cup of karak (strong) tea.
The video of Ambassador Blome’s visit, which is part of the US Consulate’s food diplomacy policy, went viral. The experience of rich, aromatic Nihari left the ambassador so taste-stricken that he remarked about moving to Karachi to enjoy the culinary pleasures of this melting pot of diverse cultures regularly.
“So far, the best meal I’ve had in Pakistan, honestly,” the ambassador said. “I’ve made a decision. Alright. This. I didn’t know about this before. But I’ve decided to move to Karachi. Yeah. I am coming doing here. And I am going to stay.”
Blome’s arrival there created a buzz, with people eagerly lining up to meet him up close and exchange pleasantries. The visit was organised by the US Consulate.
