The press in North Korea said that the shawarma was invented by the former leader of the country, Kim Jong Il. The Independent reports.
According to the publication, the local press reported about a boom in street food in Pyongyang. There is also a television story in which North Koreans eat shawarma, called wheat cakes, at a stall near the Kumsong food factory in the DPRK capital.
The North Korean newspaper Rodong Sinmun said that the shawarma was invented by Kim Jong Il in 2011. “He gave instructions to serve people with heated stuffed wheat cakes. And we remember his words that our people would be more pleasant if in the summer they served mineral water on the shelves, and in the winter – hot tea with wheat cakes, ”the newspaper said.
It also claims that the current leader of the DPRK, Kim Jong-un, “is showing a keen interest in flat cakes, from their production to servicing, and has taken steps to do so.”
At the end of November, it was reported that North Korea intended to save itself from hunger with the meat of black swans, which began to be bred on an industrial scale on one of the largest Kwangpho Duck farms in the east of the country.
