Our Dear Leader Kim Jong‑il is a world-class foodie! In this episode, we peel back the curtains on the solitary gourmet (or, gourmand) of North Korea, the one who imported international chefs and crammed his underground wine cellar with more than ten thousand bottles of French wine. From his strange culinary diplomacy to his Michel Picard wine collection, this video has them all. You’ll see why this man, who had a nation on starvation rations, was rumored to be Hennessy’s biggest customer and why he flew in chefs from Italy and Japan to perfect his pizza and sushi.

North Korea ppl. r 3× smaller South Koreans!
Obviously, he may have been a leader and a powerful one of That, but it was nothing more than a little fat boy barbarian
Sounds like a fun guy to me.
today Kim Jong Un is the only fat person in NK….
I couldn't even imagine how cool it would be to call my palace and tell them to have my shit ready when I get there or OFF w ya head
Dude got a whole helicopter to fly in lobster and just ate like one tail. smh. The WASTE!!
Tigerbone wine….mmmm
Boy drinking that HEN dog
Maybe your nations, gay voice.
What an absolutely disgusting human, inside and out
this is a great video with one thing after another I love it
And now Trump is slowly transforming into Kim-Jong-Il. 🙈
I know this video is about food but I do like the Kim Jong Il parka
Nobody eats anchovies on pizza. You don't have to be a picky eater to refuse that. Just about anyone would refuse to eat anchovies on pizza.
Everytime I see Jong-Il I have team America in my head😂
Why is it the worst men our world has to offer gain the ability to oppress most of us, and rape whatever they want from the planet while starving and killing so many? The self-importance of throwing away food while your people starve, so you can have perfectly uniform rice grains…these bloated monsters shouldn't exist.
I was so worried this was gonna be AI, I was so ready to click off if I heard a bs AI narrator 😂
Lmfao…folks act like dictatorships would be any different…
Too many ads in this damn video
and now he will be cook internally in hell or maybe worst than cooked
Now you start reaching out to Asian centric channels for collaboration videos.
Oh right one person eat so much that it cost entire nations budget and still people fall for such videos without even using common sense.
Don't let Trump see this.
Gonna subject a tankie to the Ludovico Technique using this video
What a beast 💪
Kim jong il looks like a old Korean woman with granny glaucoma glasses
9:16 donkey meat is enjoyed by a whole lot of people all around the world; if you’re curious about its taste, it’s very similar to beef and it’s friggin delicious I have to tell you. It’s a tough kind of meat though, where I’m from It’s usually stewed for hours with carrots celery onions and herbs, and then served with a sauce made with the braised vegetables. It’s so so good
Communism and hypocrisy goes hand in hand. Just another bs ideology for power grab. "Dictatorship of the proletariat" my a**. Why don't they just call it a monarchy already!? What a load of nothing!
13:10 Emmenthal is a swiss cheese, not french
It’s so funny to me that americans who eat beef that routinely gets recalled for E. Coli (= tainted with shit) without batting an eye, act so disgusted at other people’s preference for donkey meat
The ultimate irony of this situation, is that deep down every single person who criticizes his behavior would want to be him deep down.
Because I sure as hell would!
Hennessy Paradis was my favorite booze of all time when I drank.
"You will need to answer some questions. You were not grieving hard enough at Dear Leader's funeral cortege."
Poor bastards.
Honestly i don't find NK to be much different from other countries. Leaders live in opulence, peasants barely scraping by.
Evil leaders living like kings whilst millions are going hungry. Well, there will be a warm welcoming presence for them after their death……..
