Poll In Japan BK sells black burger: would you buy one (49 votes)

Yeah 31%
No 49%
I'd try it, but I wouldn't pay for it 10%
black is beautiful 10%

So Burger King in Japan is, for a limited time, selling a burger with black cheese and a black bun. The cheese is made with charcoal bamboo, and the sandwich contains squid ink. Would you try one?

You can count me out!

I'd give it a try, surely they wouldn't sell it if it was going to kill you.

Then again they do eat Fugu fish...

They should do like Spongebob, and just make "pretty patties!"

It just has a slightly salty and sour taste. Almost like a very diluted vinegar. Learn2food, bro.

Hell to the no. God that thing looks disgusting.

Admittedly I'm interested in the sort of flavor bamboo smoke might give, but the color and squid ink turns me off of this burger.

Neither really add much flavor wise, but the coloring makes it look unappetizing. I'd try it I guess, though.

Looks like tar. Though If I visit Japan, I'll be sure to try one, it might be good.

First time I heard of Squid ink in food. Sounds very gross, but according to the article the Japanese aren't the only people who put squid ink in their food.

Squid ink pasta is a pretty popular Italian dish. Also, black rice Spanish paella.

Yes, I'd eat one, at least once.

When we were in kindergarten and first grade our teachers were obsessed with Green Eggs and Ham and made us eat them even though they looked funny, I think to teach us the value of trying things that are different.

This I must say looks a lot more appealing than their bacon sundae.

Plus, if you cut out eye stickers to put on it on the burger you'd have one of the most racist looking things since Little Black Sambo.

The top picture looks pretty good. What's that, mussels and shrimp! Second one looks alright.

I could see the teachers' point, but I don't think I agree with making kids eat something that they might think looks gross (today if that happened some vegan would probably complain, but I'm guessing that wasn't a big thing when you were a lil kid). And yeah the burger would look pretty racist if they gave it eyes lol.

@PSP107: Shrimp in a red sauce. Could be bolognese sauce. Or maybe a red butter sauce.

Totally. It probably would taste fairly normal. Squid ink is considered a delicacy in Japan.

Sure, why not? Doesn't look that bad. I'd get it for the novelty, not so much the actual taste.
