Once upon a time, Burger King Japan served something called the Kuro Burger. It comes in a black bun made from bamboo charcoal, with black cheese (more bamboo charcoal), a patty with lots of black pepper, and even black special sauce, which uses squid ink to get that colour.
There’s also the Kuro Diamond, which is a little less, uh, black, because it features tomatoes and lettuce, two foods the Japanese haven’t yet learned to turn black. Why do I bring this up? Because these burgers were called the most metal and the most Goth fast food items ever conceived by man.
Both were available for only a limited time and in Japan only. I wonder if they’ve ever brought it back or tried it out in other countries?
