Mini Post: Crazy Food Pun Time!

Tue, Jul 3, 2007

Food

あんバーガー While every country has its own unique foodstuffs, Japan definitely has some strange flavor combinations. Somehow, though, I think this is one of the most unappetizing ones I’ve come upon so far. Wendy’s Japan has created product with a pun-derful name: The An Burger (あんバーガー, pronounced ahn baa gaa)!

It’s basically cheese, an (sweet azuki bean paste normally used in mochi), and unidentifiable white stuff on a bun. Seriously, what is that white stuff? It kind of looks like tuna salad, but that can’t be right… can it?

It’s just… just wrong. Almost as wrong as ウルトラローライズデニムビキニパンツ. Almost.

Edit: After digging through a bunch of Japanese blogs (thanks, Google JP), the white stuff has proved to be margarine, which is not much of an improvement over the tuna salad idea D:
