On that day, we also were invited to a local village wedding to experience Pakistani Village Food. In today’s episode will be highlighting a traditional Pakistani wedding, the celebrations and the food! Weddings across Pakistan are not all the same. Weddings in Karachi compared to rural Balochistan are very different. Weddings in Lahore compared to rural Hunza Nagar are not alike. We drove DEEP into the mountains to reach a village called Gulmit. When we arrived, the celebrations had begun and the cooking was in full swing. The village men were making “Bhutt” in MASSIVE quantities, and over wood fire. It’s made of flour and aged butter and requires a lot of physical labour to stir the ingredients into a thick paste. Along with the Bhutt, they had slaughtered one of the village’s yaks and boiled the meat. This was to serve all 300+ guests! We went into the home of the groom’s family, to enjoy chai and meet the couple’s family. Everyone was extremely welcoming to us even though they didn’t know who we were! It was finally time for the bride and groom to arrive and start the dancing! Traditional music, dancing and singing started throughout the entire village. The bride and groom were dressed in beautiful, traditional Pakistani clothing and watched the celebrations. The dancing lasted over 1 hour!!! Then all of the guests went into the family home and began eating. We were served the Bhutt, which was very strong in flavour (from the aged butter) and quite gooey. The yak meat was simply boiled, without spices. This reflects the lifestyle of this rural mountain village. Food is simple yet hearty, especially in the winter months. We felt very honoured to have had the opportunity to experience such an incredible celebration and would like to extend our thank you to the family for inviting us and allowing us to take part in a special day! Thank you so much for tuning into another episode of our PAKISTANI STREET FOOD series, and we hope you enjoyed the views, food and people of Pakistan in this video! We would like to thank Shehroze (from Manaky) for making this video possible. Stay tuned for next week’s episode where we visit a rural village and experience a Pakistan Village Wedding!!! 🇵🇰 ___________________ We’re Luke Martin and Sabrina Davidson, food lovers and world travellers!
