| Kim Jong Il Gives On-Site Guidance to Work to Develop Folk Food |
| 2004-06-26 |
| EFL.Wow. They don’t even bother to call it something like Soylent Green... Kim Jong Il, general secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea and chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK, provided on-the-spot guidance to the work to develop folk food. The little one. Over there. He looks tasty. Deep fry him and bring him to me. Going round the folk food exhibition sponsored by the Korean Dish Association, he learned in detail about the work in the catering field to carry forward and develop the folk food. On display at the exhibition were folk food contributed by Okryu Restaurant, Chongryu Restaurant and other units and kitchen utensils to prepare it and a variety of reference books. "To Serve Man"? After going round the exhibits, he highly appreciated the successes made by the producers of the exhibits, greatly pleased to learn that they have successfully prepared a variety of peculiar folk food by properly carrying forward and developing folk food heritage true to the WPK’s policy for thoroughly establishing the Juche character and national identity in all fabrics of social life. How "peculiar" was that folk food, Kimmie? He set forth important tasks which would serve as guidelines in preserving the excellent folk food tradition, noting that the creative wisdom, talent, flavor and taste of the resourceful and hard-working Korean people were fully reflected in the peculiar folk food which has been developed and enriched throughout the history. Again, "peculiar"??? Noting that the civilized Korean people have long prepared diverse folk food to suit the national character and taste of Koreans, he added that its unique taste, flavor, feature and color have been known worldwide. We won’t even mention the, you know, ...famine thing? The consistent policy of the WPK in carrying forward and developing the national cultural heritage is to guard against both restorationism and nihilism by combining the principle of historicism and the principle of contemporary nature, he said, adding that the excellent cuisine culture created by the ancestors is efflorescing to be genuine culture of the working people in the era of the WPK as it has strictly abided by the principles in the past. The enemies of the people are everywhere! Eat them! Saying that it is very gratifying for the army and the society to actively encourage the folk food, he underscored the need for all domains to properly preserve the excellent folk food heritage. Yeah, keep chowing on the folk food, peasants, so us guys in the army get more of the real stuff. Mmmmm, mmmmmm, good! |

| #5 All comunists/dictators/totalitarian strongmen start looking for the "roots" of their culture, including cuisine, when their little revolutions fail. Hugo Chavez, in Venezuela, cancelled a big contract with Monsanto 2 months ago in favor of exploiting our indigeneous sources to develop "folk" food. |

| #4 I suppose he liked the broiled grass with dirt trimmings, with poison ivy leaves added for flavor? |
