One thing is for sure. Only high level commies in N. Korea have a chance to try this meal.:-)
Has any of you tried this one?
What they don't mention is: that meal has to be shared by everyone on the plane.
"Travel Proletariat Class and reciveve a one month ration!"
"Butter" is written in English. Is it part of the humanitarian goods sent to N.Korea? W/millions of Koreans eating tree bark and starving to death, showing such a meal available supposedly for airline travelers is obscene imo.
Looks like enough food to feed a NK village for a week.
That's exactly what I thought, too.
In North Korea that's considered a buffet restaurant.
Representative Mark Kirk (2002) NORTH KOREA: HUMANITARIAN AND HUMAN RIGHTS CONCERNS before a subcommittee.
What exactly that Kraft is giving is not mentioned.

Meal: Breakfast - Some hamburger with a mystery chicken-type meat in the middle, and some overcooked lettuce, as if it had been frozen and microwaved.

That $332 would probably feed dozens of impoverished North Koreans for a week.
I'm hoping to live long enough to hear about Comrade Chia Pet getting a special airline meal of his own:
Sauteed lead pellets, delivered at high velocity.
Oops, sorry Kim, we were aiming for your mouth.
Kim? Kim? Why your eyes roll back like that Comrade?
Heh Heh.
It sure doesn't look like it to me.
Observation #1:
Who in their right mind would get on a Russian built aircraft / NK airline?
Observation #2:
12 posts and no dog meat jokes.
I wonder how they turn the cat into those nice round patties?
It implies that everybody did find something interesting to say upon seeing this photo. Dog joke comes up when people couldn't find anything interesting to say.
Now we have cat joke.:-)
What? No gasoline-baked clams or dog penis soup?
