Humbling video. Hear their stories and see their reactions and the looks on their faces as plates of meat we take for granted, are set before them. I think they've never seen so much meat in their lives.

I’ve watched a bunch of these type of videos they all are very humbling..

I like the one where a female North Korean who was in the Army as an officer...

One her American viewers sent her a big box of all kinds of American Snacks, from chips to crackers to cookies...

The woman broke down and cried that an American was kind enough to send her all the food...

There were about a dozen different sauces on the table with all of the above and from Texas, NC, SC, AL and MO (no Memphis). I believe Oak was used. Several different kinds of meat were sampled (beef and pork, at least). Pulled and sliced.

Most important of all, this was in S. Korea, but the chef was properly trained, with well-regarded bar-b-ques stateside recognizing the authenticity.

So, they presented the "Berlitz" version very well. The biggest complaints from the Koreans was having to use forks instead of chop sticks, and using bread instead of rice. I found it interesting that the males preferred the mustard and tomato based sauces while the women preferred the vinegar.

This video needs to be shown in schools all across the USA to show these young socialist kids that are being raised just exactly how the USA IS the land of plenty and the greatest country on earth...

Most just have no idea how life is in the socialist/communist countries around the world...

Personal story about Koreans and BBQ.
In the late 70s, I was a single Captain living in the BOQ at Redstone Arsenal. There were numerous Korean officers there learning Missile Logistics. Two of them were sharing a room overlooking the parking lot on the second floor which became their place of congregation.
One night, my roommate and I decided to BBQ some chicken. When the Koreans asked me why we were cooking in the parking lot - “Stove no work?” He asked. I explained American tradition of BBQ and gave him a chicken leg. He took one bite, his eyes lit up, and he ran upstairs carrying the half eaten leg. All sorts of jibber jabber from upstairs. The Korean came back and very politely asked if I would teach him how to make American BBQ.
I told him what to buy at the grocery store, he ran back upstairs and about six Koreans jumped in their car and headed to the store. About 30 minutes later, they were back. I got them a good grill going and showed them how to do American BBQ. I then left for the local watering hole.
When I came back, maybe three/four hours later, the Koreans were still BBQing, eating chicken, drinking beer, and singing Korean songs. From there on, I was one of their heros.

I experienced this as a kid. I was a military brat and lived in Spain from the third through sixth grades. Europe was a not as sophisticated or modern back then (1957-60).

Our family lived what was called "on the economy" because there was no base housing to live in. We lived among the Spanish people and learned their customs and traditions. It was mainly poor. No middle class to speak of. And a few rich, who we had no contact with.

As young as I was, I knew what we'd left in the States was much better than what we experienced in Spain, as far as living standards went. Things were pretty simple and basic. We had no kitchen appliances and the bathrooms were bare minimum toilet only. Sanitary conditions in the street and in the neighborhoods were third world.

So when my dad's tour was over, we few back to the States and landed in New Jersey. When we picked up our car and left the Air Force Base to start or journey across country to Wyoming, our next home, I dropped to the ground and kissed the grass because I was so thankful to be back in the good old US of A. Everything was clean, bright and shiny new.

Growing up after that, I was always thankful and glad we lived in America. Kids I met in my schools after returning didn't have the same appreciation I had for how good we had it in the US.

Frequently North Korean regime orders their people to produce things it wants. There is a production quota for each item. It has to be met no matter what. If you cannot meet the quota, you have to make up for it by other means, usually cash.

I’ve never seen anyone from Asheville that wasn’t some kinda flamin’ freak.

Hope the folks from N. Korea enjoyed the meat.

Oh, Merry Christmas everyone !!

one guy said all they really had was potatoes in his region so he didnt eat them after he escaped
they used to take the food and soak it in water to make it more filling
