Kim Jong-Filberts

The filbert is the cherished nephew of the hazelnut that grows in the majestic boun- ty of North Korea. One day when the sun was round and hot, the wise and glori- ous Kim Jong-Il invented the filbert with only a copy of ‘Hard Day’s Night’ by The Beatles on Betamax and a small quantity of string in his pockets. The great land of North Korea was thenceforth blessed with plentiful filberts, and the people ate until they were round and soft like Amer- icans. Kim Jong-Il then decreed that the filbert will contain all of your five-a-day.
