PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — Kim Jong Un wants to turn the art of kimchi-making into a science. And the North Korean leader is putting his money where his mouth is.
On the outskirts of Pyongyang, surrounded by snow-covered farms and greenhouses, stands one of Kim’s latest pet projects, the Ryugyong Kimchi Factory, which produces 4,200 tons of the iconic Korean pickled vegetable dish a year. The shiny new facility replaces an older factory and opened in June last year after getting Kim’s final seal of approval, according to manager Paek Mi Hye.

Isn’t this the same guy who played a round of golf and got a hole in one on every hole?

( Like taking a 3 year old on an Easter Egg Hunt)

(Sorry)
I don’t think that is possible.
Kimchi is like potato salad or Sauer Kraut it has regional styles and family recipes.

While attending a family event at my grandmother’s she let me sample some her own kimchi.
It about took the top of my head off it was so HOT.
I have since had some at a local Korean restaurant and it does not come close. It may be a different family recipe or tamed down for the more sedate American palate, I don’t know but I haven’t had any kimchi that compared to that first tasting in the spicy department.
Stupid nork PR stunt. The objective is to stall, and put on the charm offensive with little measured tokens until Trump is out of office. They’re commies.
Hey....at least he isn’t claiming to have ridden a unicorn.
I can stand kimchi every third year or so. Could see myself paying for a kimchi starter kit.
#2. I think you’ve got it backwards. If he Didn’t get a “hole in one” every time, he put “one hole” in each of his staffers.
No putzing around on his golf courses, you know.
That was his grandfather and it was the first time he played golf.
If they could keep the MSG out of it, it would sell pretty well in the US.
No. Kim Jong Il. Kim Il Sung was granddad. He threw a perfect game against the 1928 Yankees, but they were too embarrassed to admit it.
