Raw fish, seaweed, fresh vegetables, small portions – Japanese people all eat so healthily, right?
WRONG. The newest trend among Japan’s foodie Twitter users involves putting a knob of butter on, er, pretty much anything and melting it in the microwave – voila, “Butter Ping Cuisine”!
The new, buttery trend seems to have come out of nowhere to take over Twitter in Japan. We reckon these are the same people who carry personal bottles of mayonnaise in their bags for when they’re eating out. And we bet these are the same weirdos who were smothering avocados in ice cream only a couple of months ago. Bleurgh!
Here’s a gallery of all the gross, buttery concoctions these adventurous eaters have been whipping up in the microwave:
▼ “I put salt, butter and cheese on potato and microwaved it! Ping!” OK, that’s not so weird.

▼ “Tofu topped with spicy fish eggs, then butter, all melted in the microwave!” Yeah, that’s kind of odd.

And to think butter was in dangerously short supply in Japan not so long ago…
If you’ll excuse us, we’re going to go and make a salad and then go for a run, because it feels like we gained five pounds just by looking at all that melted butter… yuck!
