In Pakistan, this phrase is often used during Ramadan when people discuss what they will eat for Iftar. It's a way of bonding over shared hunger and anticipation. In cities like Lucknow and Delhi, using this phrase is considered a polite way to acknowledge the skill of a cook without being overly aggressive. Modern Urdu speakers use the 'drooling face' emoji 🤤 alongside this phrase in comments on food vlogs. Classical writers use this to describe the 'Naimat' (blessings) of a feast, often contrasting it with the ascetic's life.
