SUMMARY
Kaons and pions are both produced via the strong interaction, with kaons specifically always produced in pairs, unless accompanied by another particle containing a strange quark. The discussion clarifies that while strange particles are typically associated with pair production, non-strange particles like pions can also be produced in pairs or as single entities. This distinction is crucial for understanding particle interactions in high-energy physics.
