Title correction: Rich Taste in a Poor Country [North Korea]
Thanks for your correction. My mistake.
Has there ever been a dictator who didn't think that it was essential for fortunes to be spent on his own food while his people starved?
My pleasure. Thanks for the post.

No fry dog!
I read this on Saturday LA Times yeah this dude has wines of all country
Does he work out Kim Jong 11 that one question I asking
100g of boiled dog meat, 500g of gravy, 20g of green onion, 10g of a leek,
10g of perilla leaves, 100g of taro stalk soaked in water.
(2) Sauce
8g of salt, 2g of mashed garlic, 3g of perilla, 2g of red pepper, 2g of mashed
ginger, a little amount of pepper.
(3) Cooking instruction
After boiling the meat with gravy and stalk of taro for some time, boil again after putting vegetables an d other ingredients into it. Before eating, sprinkle pepper on it and put into an earthen bowl. The stalk of taro is to be kept in cold water one or two days to get rid of its smell and taste.
I understand Kim has an Italian pizza chef who does nothing but make pizza for him.
...or else!
I have just tried it before I type this reply. It is working. I wonder why you failed.
