Weird Wide Web - King Jong-il invented burritos in 2011!─── 15:11 Wed, 12 Jan 2022
According do North Korean media, former supreme leader Kim Jong-il, invented burritos in 2011! Very confusing, but that's what he says.
Reported on ladbible.com, the dish, mostly associated with Mexican cuisine, featured in a national broadcast which showed people devouring the dish at a stand outside the Kumsong Food Factory in the capital, Pyongyang. It was described as a 'wheat wrap' in the broadcast, which featured a mural of the country's former leader and apparent burrito inventor. Kim apparently advised that the 'wheat wraps' are best accompanied by mineral water in the summer and hot tea in the winter.
The report added that Kim Jong-un - his son and current Supreme Leader of North Korea - also takes a 'meticulous interest' in the foodstuff, which is apparently 'booming' in popularity. However, for those who have escaped the secretive state, the sight of people scoffing burritos in Pyongyang is unlikely to remind them of home. This all sounds like we made it up right? If so, read the full article here and see just how weird things might be in North Korea.
