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.

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.

The beef scraps that become hamburger meat are mixed communally during processing, and according to a study done in 1998, the average fast-food burger contains meat from 55 different cows, but that number can increase dramatically. And that’s not only gross, it’s dangerous: the more cows involved, the higher chance of E. coli contamination. We suggest asking your butcher to grind it fresh for you.
