Did you know North Korea's Kim Jong-iI invented the burrito?
NORTH Korea has bizarrely claimed Kim Jong-un's dad invented burritos in 2011 — and despite food shortages -- sales of the dish were booming. The regime’s propaganda mouthpiece said the late Kim Jong-il dreamed up the Tex-Mex dish back in 2011 shortly before his death from a massive heart attack.
The Rodong Sinmun newspaper claimed Jong-il's tyrant son, Kim Jong-un, is following in the footsteps of his dad by taking a “meticulous interest” in the dish. In State TV news footage, North Koreans can be seen devouring the burritos at a stand outside the Kumsong Food Factory in the capital Pyongyang.
The broadcast also showed a mural of Kim Jong-il grinning in a kitchen where burritos were being prepared. But while the propaganda paints a picture of abundant street food, those who have escaped the secretive state insist that such dishes are virtually non-existent there.
The wild claim follows an equally batty propaganda story that alleged Jong Il invented a dish called “double bread with meat” which was uncannily like a hamburger.
