    Pyongyang naengmyeon is a helping of cold noodles bearing the name of the North Korean capital that has become a signature dish of the reclusive state. The dish consists of buckwheat noodles with a cold mild broth, an egg, meat, kimchi and vegetables, and the restaurant best known for serving it is Okryu-gwan in Pyongyang. The restaurant’s chef served the dish to South Korean President Moon Jae-in during the 2018 inter-Korean summit at the Panmunjom peace village along the border between the two Koreas.

      Social-economical landscape was different in the '50s. The US was much superior, albeit with a reduced strength after downsizing the army. The North really didn't have the means to push the UN forces all the way back, the negotiation table was the best they could have hoped for. I mean Trumen could even have approved General MacArthur's request to deploy nuclear weapons should things get really bad. And that would be just terrible - not only for the Koreans and Chinese but for humanity as well.
