Trying to find your way into a North Korean work camp?
We can help! You could always go down the classic avenues of sharing the Gospel or listening to K-pop, but if you want to be considered current on mad-dictator trends, hot dogs are all the rage.
That's right!
Kim Jong-un has issued a national ban on hot dogs and sausages. The new rule comes amidst a growing popularity in the North for South Korean culture, and thanks to the constant U.S. presence since the Korean War Skirmish, hot dogs and sausage are very popular in South Korea.
Kim has also forbidden the sale of budae-jjigae, a South Korean-American fusion dish made from an umami-rich broth, Korean hot pepper paste, flakes, kimchi, and American Spam, beans, and sausage.
The hotpot dish, which means "army base stew", contains hotdog meat or spam which has been banned in the North.
This has to be one of those rules-for-thee, not-for-me laws.
There's no way this guy has ever met a hot dog he didn't love:
What about regular dogs?
Cook ‘em if ya got ‘em!.................
It took me a minute to figure that one out :)
I thought maybe he only banned extra size hot dogs :)
Kinda scary though...a nice plump doggy doesn’t stand a chance there.
How would North Koreans even get hot dogs and SPAM? The black market must be amazing.
Eat ‘em cold!
Who stole the keeshka?
I’d be worried about both Hot Dogs and Sausage in North Korea. This episode of Blackadder might hit the nail on the head. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6O5NxkShVQ
Not sure I would ever order a hot dog in Korea. You could be getting the real thing.
They would eat Lawn Clippings but there are no more Lawns
I know they are trying to make Dear Leader look bad, but banning hot dogs and sausages in North Korea makes a lot of sense to me.
Sounds a little like an EU Commission directive....
And for those that think canines a delicacy, there are a hundred ways to wok your dog.
Mayor Pete now has to look yet another job..
Leftists would love to have the power he has.
North Koreans: What is a sausage?
Mayor Bloomberg approves.
They came close (Jacinda Ardern, Justin Trudeau, Joe Biden’s Handlers)
How absurd!
Hot dogs and spam; two of the most unhealthy American meat choices. Yes, I have eaten both and rarely still will eat a hot dog (Costco cheap lunch, a hot dog and a drink, $1.50).
As an American, if I was in Korea, I’d take advantaghe of having Korean dishes I get less of at home, and skip the “fusion” dishes with hot dogs or spam.
