Caviar for the People - North Korea
Perhaps the most suprising thing i've seen during my last trip in North Korea in may 2010, is this: some sturgeons in a huge restaurant in central Pyongyang. My guides told me that Kim Jong il had decided to offer caviar to the people! After a pizzeria, a fast food, north koreans can now discover the taste of caviar.
It sounds like a joke, but i saw with my own eyes this restaurant!
Kim Jong Il avait decidé l'an dernier l'ouverture d'une pizzeria pour faire decouvrir les cuisines du monde aux nord coreens. Depuis il y a aussi un fast food, et recemment, un restaurant de Pyongyang propose du caviar. A l'entrée un aquarium geant present des esturgeons. Ca pourrait passer pour une blague de mauvais gout, et pourtant je l'ai vu de mes yeux vu!
