The Geo quiz takes us to the ‘City of Sufis’ in Pakistan, close to the center of the country, in the province of Punjab. It’s both an ancient city and a prosperous commercial one. And, it’s an agricultural center, with a delicious export — mangoes!
The first shipment of these mangoes reached the US last weekend from Multan, our answer this time.
Those mangoes were served up at a ball in Chicago, hosted by Pakistan’s ambassador to the US, Husain Haqqani. Monica Eng is a food reporter at The Chicago Tribune. She says the Pakistani mango is truly something special.
