I received a discount voucher for TakeAway so I decided to try something different! I’ve been seeing this black burger in the menu of my favorite restaurant and always wondered what it would taste like. So! I decided to make use of the voucher and ordered the burger (and my favorite burger as a back-up) at a discounted rate!
Is Charcoal Healthy?
Before ordering, I first looked up if charcoal is even healthy to consume to begin with. o.O I know next to nothing about it and to be honest, the black color of the burger doesn’t necessarily make it look more appealing than a normal burger. xD It’s the novelty of it that interests me.
Supposedly charcoal can interact with supplements and medication, and maybe slightly slow down metabolism. Not really an issue in my case, so I decided to go ahead and order it!
The Charcoal Burger
The burger came inside a ‘cardboard packaging’ with the text: The Burger Newspaper on it. Very interesting. Very hipster.
Well, it sure looks interesting. The charcoal bun has pulled pork on it with sauce. I love this pulled pork, so it was quite delicious. I can’t say that the charcoal bun made the burger taste significantly different, so probably only a little bit of charcoal was used for the coloring. The bun was nice and soft, I loved that.
And my favorite: the pleskavica. Whoever invented this – *chef’s kiss*.
my brain is in panic mode seeing this charcoal bun dfhsduyfgh its like “its burnt! its burnt! its burnt! its burnt! its burnt! its burnt!” all over again haha. its hard to believe it tasted almost normal xD
Luckily it wasn’t burnt. xD But yeah, just tasted like a soft bun to me. Looks funky, tastes pretty normal. :3
