Every Burger
Every now and then I take a trip up to Korea town on Bloor St. One of my most frequent stops aside from the K-BBQ restaurants is the giant Korean grocery store where you can get some yummy mochi icecream. They also have an aisle where they place the feminine hygiene products right next to the tabasco sauce. Hey, space is quite limited there. But my favorite aisle just so happens to be the junk food aisle where you can find the most random things from “Collon” candy to candy shaped like dinner food such as hot dogs which taste like marshmellows
Which brings us to Every Burger, which I’m not quite sure is a candy or a cookie. The treat comes straight from Japan, and is crunchy like a cookie, but has a drop of chocolate to simulate the burger patty, and a drop of yellow sugar stuff (possibly white chocolate) to simulate the cheese. The tops have what appear to be small sesame seeds on them, and have a slight savory taste to them. Perhaps there’s some salt in them tops.
They’re about the size of a quarter in diameter and come in two packs filled with 8 cookies in each. They’re about $2 a box, and I’m sure they also have them somewhere in Chinatown or Pacific Mall.
these remind me of macarons, which i’ve recently discovered. sooooooooo delicious!
I was thinking of macaroons til I clicked the link. Where can one find these macarons in Toronto? Or are they easy to make at home?
any french bakery would have them. i think i had it at petite thuet.
apparently they’re difficult to make perfectly…some recipes call for the egg yolks to be aged for 5 days…
Oooh, weird. Might have to try one, one day!
Thanks for adding me to your blogroll! I’ve done the same!
Cheers!

Yeah, I tried them too (http://biteme.photoquickies.com/index.php?showimage=632) and was underwhelmed, but they were an interesting novelty
