Islamabad, May 2 (IANS) Pakistan's national carrier learnt a lesson just how seriously airline meals are taken, following a backlash after its latest advert, bearing a photo of a cheese omelette, sausages and beans, promised that the airline's breakfast will "serve you a taste of home".
Though not known to be the tastiest of meals, flyers still take these on board platters to heart, the Dawn reported.
The PIA ad said: "Just when you start missing it, we serve you a taste of home! A dash of salt and little bit of pepper, we tantalize your taste buds with our delicious meal to welcome the glorious morning! #PIA #BreakfastWithPIA."
The backlash was immediate with people pointing out that the meal wasn't even a little bit Pakistani: "You guys really need to sort yourselves out.....'taste of home'? Come on whom did sausages and beans sound like a traditional Pakistani breakfast. Obviously you guys need some cultural training.....", were the kind of response that flooded Pakistan International Airlines twitter handle.
