Food nation
That Pakistanis are foodies is no secret.
Pakistanis turned to Google in order to expand their taste buds and treat themselves to an array of culinary delights, with searches for recipes ranging from banana bread and creamy pasta to local favorites like malpura and tawa kaleji.
The popularity of quick bites like garlic bread and egg noodles, along with seasonal drinks like peach iced tea, further showcased the nation’s diverse palate.
How to…
“How to check polling station” and “How to make millions before grandma dies” were the top two “how to” searches dominating Google among users from Pakistan.
Parenting tips, particularly on teaching sharing to four-year-olds, also followed closely behind.
“From the cricket pitch to the kitchen, from the silver screen to the search bar, Pakistanis are using Google to explore their passions, connect with their culture, and shape their future. AI has been integral to reimagining what Search can do, and we’re looking forward to expanding on our capabilities to help Pakistanis discover more of the web and the world around them,” Farhan Qureshi, Google’s Country Director for Pakistan, was quoted as saying in the press release.
