The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
With all-black food becoming the rage — at least in a certain part of the world that tends to do stuff that’s cray-cray — a ‘how to do your own black burger’ was bound to happen.
Brought to us by Instructables member, spunk, the black-out burger is made possible with some medicinal charcoal. The instructions on how to make your own can be found here. Who’s crazy now, Japan?

Burger King Japan, not content with boring beige buns and yellow cheese, brings us the The Kuro Burger. The terrifying-looking sandwich is made so by blacking out almost every component.
Black bun, black sauce, and a somewhat disturbing black cheese. All colored naturally with bamboo charcoal and squid ink. Natural or not… Black cheese!!
Seen above is the Kuro Pearl, followed by the Kuro Diamond below. At least the Diamond adds some splashes of color. Still… Black cheese!! This is too much, Japan… even for you.

Do not adjust your screens… Something called the Black Terra is an entirely black hot dog. Served at Vegas Premium Hot Dogs in Tokyo, the Terra’s shade of black is made possible by using an edible bamboo charcoal powder.
Now, we’re going to go ahead and end this post before I say something that’ll get us in trouble. Thanks for stopping by.
