As you’re apt to notice, a substantial number of the most outrageous burgers in fast food history aren’t (or weren’t) found at U.S. locations. With that in mind, we’re kicking things off with a truly ridiculous creation that was only offered at Japan-based Burger King locations in October 2012. That year, the fast food burger chain celebrated the fall season by adding a pumpkin-centric burger to its Japanese menus — aptly named the Pumpkin Burger after the fried kabocha squash slices found on every sandwich.
Now, while some may incorrectly assume the Pumpkin Burger title is a bit of a misnomer (it’s called kabocha squash, after all), the fact remains that all pumpkins are technically squashes. Furthermore, seeing how the word kabocha is synonymous with the word pumpkin in Japan, it makes perfect sense that Burger King tailored its autumnal Japanese release to the nation’s palate by including the winter squash.
Of course, while the simple addition of fried pumpkin slices would be outrageous enough on its own, the kicker is the burger’s special nut sauce. Featuring a delightful blend of cashews, almonds, hazelnuts, and peanuts, the unique spread helped set this limited-time product apart from the competition — while making it more than worthy of a spot on this list.
