NORTH Korea’s state-run airline serves its passengers only one item of food.
The Koryo Burger is always served stone cold — straight from the fridge — on a paper doily with an unidenfitied slice of processed meat in the middle. The bun is stale, there’s a slice of processed cheese, a few wispy slices of shredded cabbage or a single lettuce leaf (but usually not both).
Some say the mystery sauce is red, some say it’s brown, but most generally agree it’s too watery to be blood left over from the animal that became the patty.
It’s pretty much exactly what you’d expect from an airline named as one of the worst in the world, according to review website Skytrax.
And yet, its repulsiveness has gained an almost cult-level following around the world.
Journalist Jamie Fullerton wrote for Vice that, like many others on the flight, he didn’t finish his burger, “but this was largely due to the chewy blandness rather than revulsion.
“The meat was inoffensively dull and, true to the intrigue that surrounds it, even tougher to identify than it was to chew”.
He said the weirdness only added to the sense of confusion he felt watching the bizarre propaganda videos that played the whole two hours from Beijing to Pyongyang.
However, that’s not to say all North Korean burgers are bad.
The nation’s staples are kimchi (a kind of fermented cabbage) and noodles, but tour operator Simon Cockerell said plenty of places serve decent patties. His theory is that the bland meat is actually chicken.

Dog or cat.
Anyone traveling on that airline has to be a masochist anyhow, so what’s the problem?
Burger Thing! You get it OUR way! Now shut up and like it!
Did it ever meow?
The food from the movie “Snow Piercer” comes to mind...
Reverse engineering a White Castle will produce primordial ooze.
The slider itself is only one step above that.
I had one, only one in my life. It was a layer of bread, a layer of meat, a pickle and a layer of bread. I smashed it all together and it became one distinct matter.
CERN would benefit from it’s study.
If heard if passengers do like the burgers they are dragged out of the plane. Not good to make Dear Leader Fatboy unhappy =)
That’s horrible, let’s bomb them out of existence.
Where’s the beef?
I bet it’s dog meat...they love that over there.
LOL
Why does NK need a state airline? Where does it go? Who can afford it?
Question is: Did it taste better on the flight in? Or, on the flight out as a just another capitalist pig?
Uh nope.
Rather eat at any burger place in Los Gatos...
CNN’s correspondent salted his sandwich with his rolling tears upon leaving, there would be no Pyongyang news desk for him to serve at. He so dreamt of doing reports on the bounty of the food crops and greatness of the leader.
When I saw that picture, I finally realized that their logo is a drawing of a witch riding a broom.
They’re served at NORK gulags. No one complains there.
