Pakistanis find solace in memes after tomato prices spike
What else can you do when you can't cook karhai anymore?
22 Nov, 2019
An endemic of War of the Worlds proportion has taken over our country and that's mehngai.
And not just your average inflation but our beloved and underrated fruit (and vegetable for those of you about to say it) the humble tomato has gotten expensive beyond our imaginations. We mean it, did you ever think you'll have to pay Rs 300-400 for a kilo of tomatoes to make karhai? That's fine dining now!
Naturally when times get dark, we do what we do best; turn to humour. Twitterati immediately starting sharing jokes about the surge in prices and while we weep, we also laugh.
