Well, "them Muslims" might have been alright then (I defer to the superior knowledge of your mate Abdul), but I mean that might have been a problem with your Western guests - invited to a Pakistan-themed party they may have expected different dishes, confirming to their peculiar perception of what that may be, typically lacking the inside insight of your Blackpool connection.

Perception? Blackpool? Some mistake surely.
