Police officers stuffing their faces with doughnuts is a stereotype we are all familiar with. But this time, it was not an NYPD officer but none other than US Secretary of State John Kerry who was spotted grabbing a bite of the popular breakfast snack.

The top US diplomat who is on a visit to Pakistan for a strategic dialogue with Pakistani officials posted a picture of himself on social networking site, Twitter as he visited a Dunkin Donuts outlet in Islamabad.

Dressed in a blue suit with his grey hair combed back, the diplomat's decision to stop over and buy doughnuts also bodes well for the current talks he is having with the top civilian and military leadership of the country.

The diplomat's pit stop has also raised eyebrows as he did not indulge in a traditional Pakistani breakfast but a culturally popular American breakfast. And comes in striking comparison to elaborate breakfasts and meals for Pakistani officials during their meetings and visits.

The state-run Radio Pakistan also tweeted a picture of Kerry’s pit-stop at the doughnut outlet.
