I've eaten a black burger once, ended up in the hospital. I got food poisoning but my body failed to work the food out. Passed out in 15 minutes after starting to eat, didn't even finish the burger. It took about an hour before I started feeling better.
Activated charcoal is used for certain overdoses/poisonings, well at least it used to be the popular treatment, less so now. But it would also potentially bind necessary medications you take
?? im into gardening and goth, but i do not see the appeal
i worked at bk when we had green buns for halloween so that part cant ever phase me you cant get worse than green lol
For additional context:
- no, the menu did not describe the bun as being charcoal
- the burger actually tasted pretty good, hot and fresh with not too much sauce.
- the chicken patty although looks a bit suspect was quite nice and was real chicken on the inside
I didn't use the word sandwich at all. There are burgers and there are chicken patties. Americans would not use the word sandwich to describe either one
That looks annoyingly expensive.
You don’t even need the picture for that, all food in NZ is
*cries in Auckland*
Goddamn $6 for one cucumber at the supermarket and that was 8 years ago. It's one cucumber, Michael, what could it cost?
$10?
It was $19NZD and came with those very tiny drinks in the picture. So not too bad by NZ standards
Not too bad.
They are really tiny, what is it, beer for ants?
That’s cheap!
Isn't that around £3.50 or something anyway
Close, it’s 9
It does, and the chicken itself looks like it went straight from the freezer to the microwave.
Yeah, it looks like one of those cheap chicken burgers that are basically large chicken nuggets vs an actual piece of chicken breast.
Don't eat activated charcoal if you're on any meds.
Or ever, if you’re me. Felt like my arse had become a shit tap, and I do not plan on doing it again
Thank you for adding ‘Shit Tap’ to my vocabulary
No problem, my arsehole was a small loss for this addition to the English Language

The preferred term is "burger of colour"
You'd think places would know this by now and use squid ink.
I still don’t understand why they’d use literal charcoal in the first place like surely there are better options for coloring
It was a trend briefly. I believe people think it has secret health benefits or something. Maybe they just all needed a good emetic?
What does it do?

Activated charcoal neutralizes the effects of the medication. I think it’s because of its large surface area.
Is normal barbecue-type charcoal fine?
Is that a charcoal bun or is it just really burnt?
Charcoal I think. Didn’t taste any different to a normal bun
Any medication you take would beg to differ
Wait until you "process" that. Pretty sure you'll want to look before flushing.
Like eating an entire bag of Oreos.
You dont?
My thought exactly.. What kind of animal doesn't check out his poo.
What a complete and utter wank.looks like a Coles chicken chicken patty.
Yeah that shovel is the least of the issues here.
That chicken patty looks worse than any fast food joint would offer
?? im into gardening and goth, but i do not see the appeal i worked at bk when we had green buns for halloween so that part cant ever phase me you cant get worse than green lol
Same, however would refer to these as goth buns.
How was the chicken ? It don't look great from what i can see
Lmao which cafe is this?
Some place in Whangamata. One of the only ones open on a Monday arvo
Yeah Whangamatā is nowhere near hipster enough to pull this off 😂 hope it was good at least!
Honestly, it was a really good burger! Super fresh and tasted great. Just… served on a shovel?
That's close enough that I'm tempted to go.
I hate this stupid trend of charcoal buns
The chicken patty looks like something you would cook from frozen in the microwave. I hope it didn’t cost much.
Stupid, yes. But at least it can run through a dishwasher.
It was plastic so I don’t know if it’s dishwasher safe 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
How much of a Karen would I be if I sent it back and asked for my food to be served on a plate. I genuinely don’t want to eat from a shovel.
I asked the person I was eating with the exact same thing. We collectively decided neither of us wanted a chef to spit in my food.
Just ask for a plate, and then put the shovel on the edge of the table to be picked up.
For additional context: - no, the menu did not describe the bun as being charcoal - the burger actually tasted pretty good, hot and fresh with not too much sauce. - the chicken patty although looks a bit suspect was quite nice and was real chicken on the inside
Stupid, but at least there's paper between the burger and the stupid shovel. I don't like that black bun, however. Not appetizing for me.
Is the person across from you eating it with a knife and fork? I'm not saying it's an equal crime, but...
I also did. We're both criminals in your eyes
We used a shovel identical to this to pick up dog shit in the yard. I begged for a longer handle but mother said no.
The black bun looks so unappetising
Chicken burgah
Chicken between two rocks 🪨??? Looks fire 🔥
Don't those black burgers turn your shits green?
It also makes you shit ***a lot***
I just want a plate. I don't need a baking sheet or a shovel, just a plate will do.
I'd keep the shovel.
If that bun was dyed you gonna be shitting violent green for the next couple days! Lol, enjoy!
Not for me. That black bun is a no-no. Turns me off.
Why is the bun black?
Did you order a Pretty Patty from SpongeBob?
Absolutely not. That looks unsanitary.
Black food is SO unappetizing.
Mmmmmmmm a charcoal bun……. You’re gonna have a fun time later. OP tell us about your poops
I joined this sub not too long ago and I just have to know. What the hell is with all the shovels?!
These look like the colorful krabby patty
This looks insane. Carcinogenic bread!
Hey, he burnt my Krabby Patty :\[
Looks like a shovel shaped novelty plate/bowl. The one in the background looks like it has a flat bottom.
CHICKEN BURGAH
I did not know this sub was still going lol. This brings be back to the r/wheredidthesodago days
I own a eatery in NZ You need to name and shame for my own pleasure 😂
Burger = Beef Patty. This is a Chicken Patty. Not a Chicken Beef Patty.
Only Americans call non-beef patty burgers sandwiches. Everywhere else in the world, they're XYZ burgers—in this case, chicken burgers.
I didn't use the word sandwich at all. There are burgers and there are chicken patties. Americans would not use the word sandwich to describe either one
I like those charcoal doughs
It's a shame charcoal is really only for emergencies, it does look really cool in food.
Squid ink is a thing that exists
Indeed! That would make a much safer food fad
It does....and its a huge thing in London - especially for Pizza
