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:
Amazing how countries like N. Korea and Cuba go on for decades in the dark ages in an otherwise modern world
They’re eating the hot dogs!
They’re eating the sausages!
OH, NO!
Meat? How bourgeois and counterrevolutionary.
What about regular dogs?
><
They’ve all been eaten, LOL
Nice and round and very fat,
It was hanging on the rack.
Someone stole the keeshka,
When I turned my back!
Prior to moving to Idaho, I lived in the Mira Mesa area of north San Diego. Often called "Manila Mesa". The area has a large asian population. Chinese, Vietnamese, Filipino in large numbers. A co-worker who also lived in Mira Mesa was unnerved when his next door neighbor looked over the back yard fence and saw his dog. The neighbor asked "how much?". The intent of the question was to buy his pet dog for the purpose of eating it.
Having noted the cultural difference, my sons benefited from the cultural habits related to getting an education. The homework on the dining room table after school habit. Good academic performance was a priority. A couple generations and the interest in eating the neighbor's pets mostly disappeared.
It’s not going to be pretty when this regime collapses for good. So many North Koreans will be in dire need.
“Not sure I would ever order a hot dog in Korea. You could be getting the real thing.”
The Army called it chow for a reason...
“It’s not going to be pretty when this regime collapses for good. So many North Koreans will be in dire need.”
They’ll eat people, might even be doing that now. It wouldn’t surprise me.
Take a cold hot dog, slice it lengthwise and slice an inch off the end. Put mayo on one slice cheap white bread and ketchup on another slice. Slap together, yum. It is #3 on my sandwich list with a cold meatloaf sandwich taking 2nd place and a fresh from the garden warm juicy tomato and mayo sandwich at #1.
This guy is such a wiener.
Who doesn’t love Tony.
Steamed white rice is nicely flavored with the water a polish sausage or similar was boiled in and it adds nutrients. Tasty in a stir fry or soup.
Someone call the cops
Better than the tree bark and grass they use to eat...
Yusef, that sneaky backstabber.
Ketchup on a hot dog? That’s supposed to be controversial..
Does this include Anthony Weiner?
What about "the works"? Fried onions, chili, kraut, catsup (or ketchup if you prefer) mayo and mustard.
