A Frog Burger Because Japan

March 2, 2015 by Chris Durso

We know what you’re thinking… There’s no way those are actual frog legs sticking out of that black-bunned burger. Well then, you obviously haven’t been paying attention to our extensive coverage of Japan, where anything is possible, and its usually bat-shit cray-cray.

The Frog Burger is oh so very real, and is indeed an actual frog, with its deep-fried legs sticking out from the bun. If nothing else, the protruding legs are a very good and disturbing reminder of what you’re eating.

The Frog Burger is part of museum Orbi Yokohama‘s promotion for their Deadly Poison Exhibition. Hopefully, the non-toxic variety were used for the burgers.

Birthday Cake Vineyards are the people responsible for this, offering a series of dessert-flavored wines — including Strawberry Shortcake, Black Forest, Cheesecake, Coffee Cake and Cake Batter.

The 11-piece set includes a few planets, moons and our sun. But, unlike previous planet plates, Cosmic Diner shows no love for Mother Earth. Although the set does include Saturn’s moon, Titan, and was nice enough to not relegate Pluto to a snack plate. Poor Pluto.
