Man o man Scram1,
While in Japan I visited a few pachinko halls.

just crazy.

You mean, there’s a difference between NK and SK Korean food? That is, other than the lack of it in NK?

Roots, bugs,...

Penn & Teller did a tour in China, and showed street market vendors selling that stuff. Can't remember if they partook of any of the comestibles.

...dirt?

The now-defunct Esquire Channel had a reality cooking show called "Knife Fight", iirc, and "dirt" was one of the ingredients the two chefs had to incorporate into a dish in a season finale.
