KARACHI: Twitterati came down hard on Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) on Wednesday for introducing sausages, beans and a cheese omelette in its in-flight breakfast menu, saying it was “not the typical meal consumed in a Pakistani household”.
One user posted an image of a fried egg on a paratha as an apt description of a breakfast feasted upon by the public.
Others slammed the creative team behind the campaign for coming up with the visual representation.
“Whose home? Beans and sausage isn’t a typical Pakistani breakfast,” tweeted senior journalist Zarrar Khuhro.
“When a Pakistani misses food from home, it’s never ever sausages, beans & cheese omelette,” wrote Twitter user Zoai Tariq. “Please change your advertising agency. @Official_PIA”
Another user said that one of her colleagues from India had loved the chana, halwa and paratha served by the airline when she travelled to Pakistan.

An Indian colleague appreciated PIA who once travelled to Pakistan. They loved your chana, halwa, paratha in the breakfast.
Certain passengers, he added, were averse to a heavy local meal first thing in the morning.
“Just when you start missing it, we serve you a taste of home! A dash of salt and little bit of pepper, we tantalise your taste buds with our delicious meal to welcome the glorious morning,” the national flag-carrier posted online.

Correcting your definition of home. Check pic: Aisa anda paratha chahye, woh bhi slightly crispy. Anda with a runny egg yolk so that I can dip my paratha in it. That’s the taste of home.

Comments : PIA Seem to be Run by Incompetent Punjabi Managers who are selected due to Domicile , who are thinking PIA is Employment Bureau that is supposed to give them Salaries for being a Dumb idiots , who destroyed the Airline and also Destroyed Pakistan by their Incompetence. PIA is suffering from Punjabi Duffers " of is over paid and over staffed Manager not over staffing of workers and this evident in every Decision they make . Professional Employee of PIA are not promoted and Poltical Appointee makes the Decisions who are employed and Given Top Positions and enjoy the maximum Perks and benefits while the PIA own employee suffer.
