Frog Burgers & Horse Meat Rice Bowls? - Food Feeder
  • 9 years ago
If you had a pet frog or love to ride horses, prepare to be traumatized. Two new specialty dishes in Japan feature a couple of your favorite animals. Sorry!

The first is a deep fried frog burger, available at a museum in Yokohama, available as a tie-in to a current exhibit about poisonous animals. We should be glad whatever committee was in charge of these things opted for a frog burger, instead of a spider burger. This isn’t some wussy frog leg burger. No sir! The shop is deep frying up whole frogs, and slapping them on black burger buns. Remember black burger buns? Apparently, they’re every bit as popular as deep fried frogs in Japan.

Also being served up in an entirely separate part of Japan are rice bowls with horse meat. While this may be an uncomfortable topic for some of our viewers, you can console themselves with the knowledge of these horse rice bowls are a great value! What’s that? That doesn’t help at all?
