Pasta is made all over the world.

It is still associated with Italy.

You all can cook our recipes. Just don't go about taking them over. Please no f@rting that we have them in Bharat too. This was not the purpose of OP.

Yours and other Bharti's posts are simply childish.

I don't like this tu tu main main, but its you guys who copied it. All those dishes are either from Lucknow/Awadh region or Hyderabad.

Only Baloch and Pashtun cuisine is something Pakistan can claim.
