The Deep-Fried Black Frog Burger Is A Bit Scary

Fancy A Black Frog Burger?

Yep, this is real.

Continuing the trend of truly strange things coming out of Japan and weird burgers popping up all over the place, a museum has decided to offer a complete deep-fried frog sandwiched in a black bun as a promotion for their poisonous frogs exhibition.

Luckily they didn't use the toxic toads in the burger.

The scary sandwich costs 1,000 Yen, which is about £5.50.

Unlike some black buns which are dyed with squid ink, this one uses bamboo charcoal to get the deep and distinct colour.

If you're still hungry for frog-themed dishes after eating a whole one, they also have an amphibious dessert on offer.

The "frog egg sweet dish" uses almond jelly and a jelly frog to mimic spawn at the edge of a pond

This isn't the first black burger to surface in Japan. McDonald's and Burger King have both released their own versions of the dark-bunned creations in the Far East.
