"North Korean leader Kim Jong Il has ordered the opening of the isolated country's first Italian restaurant, a pro-Pyongyang newspaper reported, despite the nation's continuing struggle to feed its 24 million people. Kim – a reputed gourmand – sent North Korean cooks to Naples and Rome last year to learn how to reproduce authentic Italian pizza and pasta after 'repeated trial and error,' the newspaper said Saturday."
