North Korean Hamburgers Are Delicious

It's unlikely you'll ever get to try a hamburger in North Korea, but just in case, Jakob Ohlsson wants you to know that 1) they exist, and 2) they're delicious. During a trip to Pyongyang, Ohlsson indulged in a hamburger topped with egg (the other choices being "regular" and "cheese") and experienced "handcrafted bliss" for only 1€:

It was a blessing. It was like visiting someone’s parent, who had once, maybe six years ago, seen a picture of a hamburger, and was now asked to re-create it. But where memory might have failed, competence reigned supreme. Since there is no import of burger bread, seasoning, etc, everything was made from scratch. No Heinz cheating or HP Sauce shortcuts. Only handcrafted bliss.

Those North Koreans don't mess around when it comes to burgers.
