Make Your Own Edible 1UP Mushroom (Burger)
Posted by Michael McWhertor at 5:40 AM on July 3, 2008
Hey, America, this one's for you, especially if you're vegetarian, a Super Mario Bros. die hard, and are looking to wow (or maybe disgust) attendees of your Independence Day cook out. Instructables has posted a very handy recipe for one-upping your burger this holiday weekend, taking the beef out and putting the green food colouring in. That's not tasty pesto, unfortunately, just some bizarre chemical that makes burger buns green.
Think I'll be passing, but you may find this a delicious prelude to your 4th of July game cake. Thanks to Nate for the tip.

@Mr. Fap☆Fap!: Um, that is a veggie burger.
Im not trying to start a war here, but vegitarian food can taste like crap just as easy as meat containing food can.

The patty doesn't look all that bad, but that top bun is creeping me out.

I think I just renewed my commitment to vegetarianism for another 10 years.
Blech.

See, that's why restaurants use pictures of wax food in their adverts. Real food just isn't photogenic.

I'm pretty sure if you ate that thing it would have the opposite effect of a 1up.

Hmm, I'll pass. It just doesn't look right to me.
This kind of reminds me of the time when Burger King (or some fast food place) had green fries and green ketchup? Icky looking!

It looks rather unique I'll stick with the plain ol cheese burgers, ribs, and hot dogs this 4th of July.

Ironically, you can get the same coloring without any effort: just let fungi grow on three-week-old hamburger buns.

That looks really disgusting. I'm cool with vegetarian cuisine, but that just doesn't look appetising. I mean, what the fuck is that [i]thing[/i] between the buns?
Yuck.

As a vegetarian... I think Veggie Burgers taste horrible.
Though that looks creative. .... ...But i'm almost sure it'd taste yuckie.
There are plenty of healthy alternatives to beef and chicken that taste just like it (I think the brand was called Smart Foods ...I think)

So... then do I get an extra life if I eat this? Can someone make the red mushroom version? I'd rather be flipping huge than have an extra life. Thanks.

I don't quite get what peoples' aversion to green food is. It's like if it's green and not leafy, it automatically must be bad... uhh... no. It looks like any other hamburger (or veggie) to me, just with a green bun on the top.

That certainly doesn't look very appetising, but I could certainly make good use of an extra life or two.
Who am I kidding? I'd waste them.

Actually, I got excited for a moment because I mistook that green bun for nori wrapped on top...hmmm. Interesting taste combo or utterly disgusting? Anyone care to try? haha

@SaintEmpire: It's a mushroom patty with cheese on top.
@Gypse-scum: It IS melted cheese! The actual patty is brown-colored (made of mushrooms) and that stuff on top is melted cheese!!!
