The Nutella Burger

Someone invented a burger made from a warm donut spread thick with Nutella, passion fruit jam, strawberries, and kiwi slices. The strawberries are funny—they’re there to justify it, make it reasonable, but they change nothing. It’s still chocolate-hazelnut spread on fried pastry. Yet somehow the fruit makes it okay, makes it feel less completely insane. Food’s been pushing in one direction for years: more meat, more cheese, more excess. The sweet stuff just follows the same path. This burger is the logical endpoint of that thinking, the answer to how far it goes. Pretty far. The strawberry’s there to make that feel manageable, and somehow it works.
