i’ll take extra salt and ketchup
North Korea has introduced the hamburger (AP).
Wednesday’s report cites leader Kim Jong Il as saying at the time of the hamburger’s introduction: “I’ve made up my mind to feed quality bread and french fries to university students, professors and researchers even if we are in (economic) hardship.”
The government then built a hamburger plant and Kim Jong Il ordered officials to pay close attention to modernizing mass production, the report was quoted as saying by Yonhap.
A hamburger “plant”? Later in the story, this “plant” is referred to as a “factory”. One wonders where the Dear Leader buys his “beef”.

I Don’t Want to Know Where the Beef Is.
Here’s a thought, if you’re a cannibal in Pyongyang, what do you do when someone asks if you want to go out for Korean food?
