List of North Korean dishes → North Korean cuisine – Better as a broad scope prose article and already has enough content to support it. Redirect is in the way. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 22:29, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
 * This is a contested technical request (permalink). EdJohnston (talk) 02:56, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment: This might need discussion as to the best arrangement of topics, since there is no parallel article called 'South Korean cuisine'. There is already a List of Korean dishes. Currently, North Korean cuisine is just a redirect pointing into a section of List of North Korean dishes. EdJohnston (talk) 02:56, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

Merge (and split?) as needed to deal with the other issue. It appears to me that everything that isn't either NK- or SK-specific should move to what is presently List of Korean dishes, and should be renamed to Korean cuisine, with nothing remaining in the NK and (eventual) SK spinoffs other than a brief summary of KC's nature and basic dish types, a cross-reference to the main article, and then a list of NK- (or SK-)specific items. , just merge it all to Korean cuisine, and use sections. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  13:36, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Support, per WP:CONSISTENCY with the other cuisine articles. We have a solid convention in play, so don't diverge from it without some spectacular reason to do it.
 * Comment (from article creator): When I created this article, I wrote it with a specific focus upon North Korean cuisine only, based upon available sources. While there are some similarities and overlap in North and South Korean cuisines, this article itself was written based upon North Korean cuisine. In other words, none of this particularly belongs in the Korean cuisine article, because the sources that I used are mostly verifying that these are a part of North Korean cuisine.

Serious omissions
This article omits the heavy promotion of "wild foods" such as pine bark and grass as healthful alternatives to traditional foods. Some who have left NK have stated that they not infrequently ate "wild foods" that they knew were toxic as they had nothing else to eat.

Currently it is about as realistic a portrait of what people generally eat in North Korea as the Barbecue in Gone With the Wind was of how the average southerner - Black or White- ate in the antebellum. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.77.213.167 (talk) 01:40, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Feel free to expand the article with reliable sources. I agree that this should be covered. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 01:49, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

North korea CUISINE??

Some restaurants too expensive?
The whole introductory Article needs more information about North Korean cuisine and should delete some irrelevant information. The paragraph starting with “Some restaurants, particularly in Pyongyang, the capital city of North Korea, have expensive pricing relative to average worker wages in North Korea.“ Doesn’t really have a lot to do with their cuisine. In America I can not afford a lot of food at restaurants. If thee we claim the article was making was “most North Koreans can’t afford to eat at ANY restaurant“ then that would be worth mentioning. Also the tangent about the the North Korean middle class should be cut as it has little to do with North Korean cuisine. 2601:602:B00:31D0:0:0:0:7B24 (talk) 21:39, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
