Did you know that one of the official languages of Pakistan is English? This Webquest wants to show you a little bit of the culture of this English speaking country, concretely, food and typical dishes from Pakistan. This country has a different food tradition and it would be interesting to expand our knowledge and see which kind of products and food they use to cook their famous dishes.

ACTIVITY 1
We are going to experiment with some typical food from Pakistan, this time we will not cook them, we will create art with it.
Firstly, each member of the group needs a white DIN A-4, brushes and a pen. Once, you have the material, you have to take the species and smell them. Can you notice the difference between them? Now, take these species and water and mix them as you want. There is no specific rule to use them, just be creative!
Once you have got your production, try to guess which species have you used, if you don't know them, search it on the internet and read the information provided. You have these websites that can help you:
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Pakistani_spice
- http://www.khanapakana.com/article/c15decd5-50c1-48b2-8773-85cdc5686eee/glossary-pakistani-indian-spices-masala-
Write the names of the species you used to create your piece of art behind the paper.
Finally, give the production to your teacher, if she gives you the content, you can move on to the next activity!
ACTIVIY 2
Imagine you want to visit the capital of Pakistan (Islamabad),and you just have 3 days to see the most important things of the city and you want to eat the best dishes from the best restaurants as well.
