Didn't Korea invented hamburger as well?
Love to see Lotteria come up with something special on their burgers.  |

| Lotteria is from Japan, or maybe that is another thing the Japanese stole from Korea. |

| It first opened in Japan 7 years before Korea and their headquarters are in Japan but I understand what you meant. It is owned by Lotte and it is both Japanese and Korean. |

I thought it was common knowledge that they did in fact invent the hamburger. In case you didn't know:
"North Korean leader Kim Jong Il has introduced hamburgers to his reclusive, communist country in a campaign to provide �quality� food to university students, media reported Wednesday.
The hamburgers were introduced in 2000 and dubbed �gogigyeopbbang,� Korean for �double bread with meat,� according to the June 29 edition of the North Korean state-run newspaper Minju Joson. The report was carried by South Korea�s Yonhap news agency on Wednesday.
Although reports from the isolated country have in recent years mentioned the introduction of the American fast food classic, the latest announcement seems to credit the country�s leader for their advent.
The news marks a curious development for North Korea, where U.S. consumerism is routinely reviled in the official media and people refer to the soft drink Coca Cola as the �cesspool water of American capitalism.�
Wednesday�s report cites leader Kim Jong Il as saying at the time of the hamburger�s introduction: �I�ve made up my mind to feed quality bread and french fries to university students, professors and researchers even if we are in (economic) hardship.�
The government then built a hamburger plant and Kim Jong Il ordered officials to pay close attention to modernizing mass production, the report was quoted as saying by Yonhap.
Hamburgers from the factory were first provided only to students at the elite Kim Il Sung University in Pyongyang, but were later provided to other schools, the daily said.
Hamburgers are now familiar to many North Koreans, it added." |
