"Is it a Pakistani samosa? It has meat in it, but isn't it supposed to be smaller in size?"
"You know what my mom also used to put peas into homemade samosas."
In a BuzzFeed video on YouTube, Pakistanis and Indians put to test the dishes ravenously eaten on both sides of the border and try to know the differences between them.
Indians and Pakistani were invited to take the test and tell the differences they felt in the cuisines.
At one side, sat an Indian and on the other, a Pakistani. Two plates having two samples of same food were placed before them.
For starters, samosas and mango juice were put before them, as for samosas, one from Pakistan and the other from India.
The participants kept on voicing their admiration for the fruit, mango. Samosas were one item that were easily distinguished due to meat and vegetable factor.
The surprising moment came when most of the people failed to know which Biryani is which. Mostly were confused as they had tasted both the versions (Sindhi and Hyderabadi) and failed to link it to a specific country.
"You guys really know what you are doing," commented a Pakistani girl on Hyderabadi Biryani, which was supposed to be from India.
When tea was presented, the famous Pakistani Chaiwala with blue-eyes also became a part of the discussion.
"Chai brings everyone together," was the outcome.
In the end, the participants agreed that they do not hate each another at all and both the flags have green in them – meaning the food was one notion among several others, pointing at the similarities between the two nations.
