Jon sez, "I came back from lunch to find this little box on my desk. My boss had left it there and thought it looked interesting. I work in Tokyo and there are lots of neat snacks here. You mentioned some malformed icecreams and snacks before so I thought you would be interested in these odd little burger things from Japan. Some of them even had 'cheese' running down the side of the burger, very accurate in shape!"
(Thanks, Jon!)
Update:
Wagner James Au sez, "San Franciscans can get those at a new Mission restaurant called Spork (yes, really), they're served as free after-dinner treats.
And yep, you actually eat with sporks– they're beautiful chrome versions that the owner (he told us after an insanely good dinner) found in an Asian grocery store."
Update 2: Chris sez, "My brother got these chocolate mushrooms from a friend the other day. (I swear he's just holding onto them.)
They came from an Asian market in the Atlanta area. There're three pictures of them in my photostream. One features the packaging.
The inner bag looks like a seventies version of Super Mario Bros. Super awesome!"
Update 3: Richard sez, "Thought I'd chime in over the tiny candy burgers with a photo of a chocolate turd: 'Chamalyn, a San Francisco Japanese candy/bubble tea store, sells these candy turds. Basically tastes like Cocoa Puffs with an extremely light milk chocolate coating. Thankfully, it doesn't taste like a turd.'"
Update 4: Eric sez, "justJENN has had a recipe for mini-burger cookies on her design/craft website for several months now. My wife recently brought home some of these cookies, made by justJENN herself, and I must say – they are quite delicious!"
