Burger King launches black burger in Japan – and no, it's not just burnt

The chain’s goth-like burger, with black buns, black cheese and black sauce, is a bizarre addition to the menu. But it’s not the only food to go back to black



It may look like leftover burnt scraps of a late-summer barbecue, stuffed with melted tyre fillings, but this bizarre black combination is just Burger King’s latest menu option for Japan.

The incinerated-looking buns are darkened with bamboo charcoal, and the same has been used to give the poisonous-looking cheese its melted-tar look. The beef burgers, meanwhile, have added black pepper, and are topped with an onion and garlic sauce mixed with squid ink.

The international chain says it is the third time it has released a goth-like burger (the others had black buns and black ketchup) and diners have so far given them a “favourable reception.”

This would help me lose weight - I could NEVER eat anything that looked like this

I ate black pasta (colored with octopus ink). This is a new way to color in black our guts, I guess…

Did the ink have any flavour?

Goths would probably love it but not sure I would try it

Perhaps on Halloween

No flavor at all, just for the color :



You can make multicolored plates with black, white, green pasta and red shrimps, lobsters etc.

I rather like the look of this - wonder if I can convince my friends to sell it in their shops

I am in the mood to try a recipe : Bavarois of cucumber, tomatoes and basilic.

Sounds interesting - what is it ?

Originally a dessert, there are salted variations :

I hope you did not eat one that size

I love tomatoes

What is inside the cake look-a-like?

[Piling]

It is made with cottage cheese, jelly, and eventually eggs. It is light, like a 'mousse'.

We do not have anything like that in England

Sometimes we have French markets but nothing like this

Mexico dishes up creepy crawly fare

I would like,as you did, to lost 10 kg (even more). But I am sure I can't survive only with wheat, fruits and water…

Yesterday, big Sunday Lunch. So today, light plates :

Breakfast :

Coffee, brown sugar, 3 small madeleine (self-made).

Lunch :

A roasted chicken leg and the remain of my Bavarois (seems more like a cacik with tomatoes).

Dinner :

Vegetable soup, cod or sole, 2 white wine glasses.

Yoga : 30 mn.

Walk : probably less than 6000 steps, around 5000.

Good meals except the madeline, sugar, chicken and the worst of all the old leftover bavarois, which must have become highly oxidised.
