 Kim Jong Un has visited Vladimir Putin in Russia and while important talks have been held food was needed to recharge their batteries. After two-hours of talks, the two geopolitical heavyweights dined together with a smorgasbord of local delicacies on the menu. The menu started with a salad of duck, fig and nectarine followed by Russian 'pelmeni' dumplings made with Kamchatka crab. To follow was a White Amur fish soup and a sorbet from sea buckthorn, according to a Kremlin reporter cited by Reuters. Then the two got to enjoy a choice of sturgeon with mushrooms and potatoes or an entrecote of marbled beef with grilled vegetables for the main. Then to round it all off for dessert, there was red bilberries from the taiga (Russia's vast forested Siberia region) with pine nuts and condensed milk on the menu. And for drinks on the side white and red wines from the Divnomorskoe Manor from southern Russia were offered. Kim reportedly said that he was confident Russia would win in what Moscow calls its 'special military operation' in Ukraine, while he toasted to Putin's health.
