To tell you the truth, our Black Magic Burgers are one of our most popular dishes, so we weren't sure if we should share our recipe with everyone, but after our wizarding council meeting, we decided it was best to let the whole muggle world know a little bit of the wizarding world's secrets. And if, after reading our article, you feel like whipping up a black poof at home any day, you might even our magic restaurant as an honorary magician.
Where does the blackened hamburger bun come from?
Black hamburgers have become a hot topic in recent years, and where else could they come from but the other oddities: the magical land of Japan. In the Far Eastern island nation, black burgers have become so popular that black cheese, and perhaps even black meat, are happily stuffed into their blackened buns, using mainly bamboo.
What else makes black panties black?
Of course, there are many different ways to blacken the faggots, including artificial food colourings and readily available activated charcoal. We don't need to say much about artificial colours - we probably think the same thing when we hear the word. If something is artificial, it's not really magic, it's just hocus-pocus, and in large quantities it can be harmful to the body. Activated carbon, on the other hand, although detoxifying, can also be harmful to the gut flora in larger quantities, so we would not vote for this accepted but by no means ideal ingredient.
Black food colouring naturally
We have chosen a truly magical ingredient: squid. True, squid is not a vegan choice, but it's all-natural, retains its freshness in storage and reacts extremely well to the heat produced during baking, so when you make a bun, you can be sure you'll get a shiny black bun, not a wilted, grey scone.
Forget artificial food colours
The magic doesn't stop at black, of course, because with a little skill you can make almost any colour of food - the only limit to the baking is your imagination. However, it's good to remember that too much colouring can be really harmful, and there are natural solutions for everything. Strawberries might be a good choice if you're making a pink snack, beetroot if you're making a red one, purple cabbage and bicarbonate of soda if you're making a blue one, and matcha tea if you're making a green one. Up to magic!
