This is not the first
time that the late leader of North Korea has been credited with creating iconic
dishes. Previously, local media claimed that Kim Jong-il invented the hamburger,
which he named "double bread with meat".
Late North Korean leader Kim Jong-il invented
the popular burrito, local media have reported. According to the state-run
newspaper Rodong Sinmun, the head of state came up with the concept in 2011 and
advised that the "wheat wraps" are best to be eaten while drinking
mineral water or tea.
His son, incumbent leader of North Korea Kim Jong-un, takes a
“meticulous interest” in the dish, whose popularity is now booming in North
Korea, Rodong Sinmun writes. Videos released by local media show North Koreans
gathering at outside the Kumsong Food Factory in the capital Pyongyang and then
munching on the snack.
At one point, footage shows a mural depicting
the late Kim Jong-il in a kitchen where the dish is made.
North Koreans who have fled the country have questioned the veracity of the
video. Lee Hyun-seung told the Daily Mail that North Koreans
don't even dream of eating burritos.
