North Korean "Hamburgers", with pics

Recently, intrepid traveler Bobthewraith posted these sad photos on Reddit that show what counts as a hamburger according to the state-owned, national flag carrier airline of North Korea, Air Koryo.

Behold, the “hamburger,” according to the hermit kingdom:

One eagle-eyed viewer was able to locate the meat patty, or at least a hint of it, lying flat and nearly colorless beneath that sad piece of lettuce.

Specifically, ground, uncured ham. I think I will avoid flying the friendly skies of Air Koryo, not just because of the cuisine.

FWIW, the best airline food I have had was on Turkish Airways. They even had the chef standing at the door to greet you.

I love Turkey and will choose Turkish Airlines any time I get the chance, which hopefully will happen again.
