Maybe, but it talks about popular street food in another part of the article so it seems not all food is hand delivered from the government. And a hot dog is “just” a sausage in a bun, I’d think bread and sausages would be reasonably common where food is a problem but maybe I’m wrong.
How do people keep up with all these petty laws? If my country banned hotdogs there’s a decent chance I’d miss the announcement and accidentally put a frankfurter in a bun. I could miss it completely and I have internet! How does your average person on North Korea find out about this ban on putting sausages in bread?
NZ Herald is borderline tabloid. They just want the clicks. And then paywall some articles. And I’m pretty sure they were the ones caught using ChatGPT to write articles. I’m in NZ and actively avoid them.
Well I noticed the article has a picture of a completely different type of hot dog than what I assume they actually banned*. Does that count as a hotdog sausage?
* In New Zealand a “Hot dog” is more similar to what would be called a “Corn dog” in the US. A hot dog sausage in bread would be referred to as an “American hot dog”.
