ISLAMABAD: According to a Gilani Research Foundation survey carried out by Gallup & Gilani Pakistan, nearly 6 in 10 Pakistanis report that they normally eat roti at lunch time exclusively.

According to a press release, a nationally representative sample of men and women from across the four provinces was asked, “What is eaten in your household for lunch as a matter of routine?” In response to this question, 58 percent said roti, 14 percent said rice, 22 percent said both roti and rice, while 6 percent did not know or did not wish to respond.

The study was released by Gilani Research Foundation and carried out by Gallup & Gilani Pakistan, the Pakistani affiliate of Gallup International. The recent survey was carried out among a sample of 1,142 men and women in urban areas of all four provinces of the country, during 24–28 January, 2019. The error margin is estimated to be approximately ± 2-3 percent at the 95 percent confidence level.
