Japan is heavily Americanized.
Show me the Hamburger Party in Hamburg.
That sounds pretty awesome, wish I had done that at some point in my life.
Okay I admit it was the same one, but in a different year. It was still awesome.
Also you should still go!
You can tell I'm American because I have my last meals lined up as Tacos for dinner, Cranberry and Orange muffins for breakfast the next day, and a double steak burger with cheese for my final lunch and call it a life haha. Maybe I'll put an egg on one of the burgers with a runny yolk. Haven't decided yet. If your going to die, no reason to go out healthy. (Manicotti was for the previous days haha)
Of those food items only the burger is unqualified bad. The tacos...well bread isn't bad in and of itself, and a taco is just flour or corn bread. A fruit muffin doesn't have to be bad -- if it was a 1000 calorie whole foods muffin, sure, but otherwise just carbs and fruit. Eggs are high in protein and vitamins. But then you had the double griddle-fried 70/30 fatty burger charred to a cancer-inducing crisp.
How much does charred food actually increase risk of cancer? And what type of cancer?
For some reason smokey slightly burnt food tastes really good to me and I'm not going to stop eating it.
80/20 smash burgers. If I cook on a grill I don't care as much about it being higher fat as the fat drips down, but smashing them on a stove top I go less., then I strain the fat off the flat pan I use and put it aside in a glass jar, to reuse when making something I want more flavor in. Same with if I ever make bacon, place it on a sheet pan, bake and strain off into a jar. I use the bacon one for vegetables like asparagus, because otherwise I honestly don't care for asparagus on its own flavor. Broccoli, cauliflower, green beans and such don't need flavor added, but sometimes the mood hits you.
Not the healthiest, but there are worse things than vegatables you like in life haha
Asparagus is an excellent vehicle for butter and salt.
Also, the menu screen needs to say...

Why WOULDN'T it be real? I remember many years ago I saw a trivia fact that said around 50% of all restaurants in the United States had hamburger on the menu? Maybe that changed (it was a late 90s/ early 2000s trivia fact) but hamburger is still super common and popular.
Not to mention it's in a town called Hamburg. What city council that wants to get reelected wouldn't want a self-promoting festival called "Hamburg"er? Notice, they didn't call it the cheeseburger festival.
Man I just camped at Sleeper State Park in October, it's right next to Caseville, MI on the lake. That whole campground turns into a Halloween festival for the month, it's awesome. I bet those people do the cheeseburger festival right too. The only downside I see is I have to wait until Summer for it!
I will note though, that the cheeseburger festival isn't in Hamburg.
The cheeseburger was invented in the rival neighbouring city of Cheeseburg.
To be fair, this was a pretty safe bet.
I legitimately want this
Japan failing to understand Western Culture is like.. one of my favorite Bad Writing Tropes!
I love it when they try to give Christianity a magic system.
God I love Castlevania, but I gotta chuckle when I see things like Church Appointed Witches or the Catholic Church having Pan as an informant....
Japan as a whole utterly fails to comprehend what nuns are and it's kind of hilarious when it pops up.
This thing has been reminding me it exists every few years for the past 2 decades.
Christianity takes in Japan is wild. It was an underground religion for a few centuries, which always makes things fun.
To be fair it was an underground religion in the west for a while too
Honestly, NGE's version of the Rapture/Eternity/Fanta wasn't even that bad.
