Obama knows how to cook keema...and daal?

"'What can you cook?'

'Oh, keema . daal . You name it, I can cook it. And so I have a great
affinity for Pakistani culture and the great Urdu poets.'

'You read Urdu poetry?'

'Absolutely. So my hope is that I'm going to have an opportunity at some
point to visit Pakistan,' said Mr Obama."


Keema is spicy ground beef. Daal is lentil soup. I was born in India and I
don't even know how to cook this stuff. It's not easy, and for those of you
who've had bad keema, you know what I'm talking about. Oh...and the bit
about urdu poetry is even more difficult to believe. I'm a native speaker of
urdu and I don't understand classical urdu poetry. It's a different
language. It's like reading Milton, or Chaucer, or to a lesser extent
Shakespeare. It's not every native speaker's cup of tea, let alone somebody
who doesn't even claim to speak the language.
