Where LoC means Lots of Coffee

Political wittiness at its best in Civil Junction.

... the fare it serves includes the elegiac Military Intervention. "It is a beefy main course. Some like it, some hate it but all take it," said Bhatti about CJ's "first generation" dish sold alongside the Murgh Malai Aloo (MMA), a culinary spoof on Pakistan's right-wing Opposition, the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal.

Inspired by Benazir Bhutto's PPP, Pakistan's Popular Pakorre is a "tea party" item and the ruling Pakistan Muslim League comparable with Pure Mutton League, an "establishment favourite and a tribute to leadership on plate."

The café's second generation menu has made the fare even richer. "Mutton boneless" is its War Against Terror and the Aloo Gosht mix a Civil-Military Translucent Gravy . On offer for those who like their meals soft is Spineless Opposition made of boneless chicken.
