I would not eat that. Charcoal maybe, but I though it was cancer.

[–]neodiogenes 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It probably tastes pretty ok, like a semi-sweet roll with chocolate cream.

Certainly it's no more artificial or carcinogenic than a Twinkie. Which probably isn't saying much.

In a Japanese-sized cubicle in Tokyo before product release...

  • Hey, how we gonna sell this "Black Melon Pan"?
  • I don't have a clue.
  • If we don't increase sales 20% we're fucked. The boss will transfer our ass to Podunku, Hokkaido.

A few days later in the company cafeteria...

  • What the hell did you do? There's coffee everywhere.
  • I know, I was looking at Keiko, you know, the one with the ass? I wasn't looking and I walked right into the table spilled... Hey! Look at the coffee on the napkins!
  • Yeah, it's a big mess.
  • No, it's Afroman!
  • It's what?

"Black Melon Pan" > black colored melon flavored bread

[–]enntwo 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Melon bread is not actually melon flavored in most cases. Its called melon bread due to its shape and the usual square pattern on it (it sort of resembles a japanese melon).

It is actually bread dough with a layer of sweet dough (almost cookie dough) on top of it.

(There are a few brands that have some melon flavored verisons, but those are usually considered a novelty).

[–]AmpersandMDash 0 points1 point ago

Melon bread is not actually melon flavored in most cases.

I think - and my memory could be playing tricks - that each and every melon pan I ever had in Japan was melon flavored. Sure, not as strong a melony taste as a melon drink - but melon flavored nonetheless.

[–]slimscane 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I've actually eaten this. It's a chocolate "melon pan" (bread topped with sugar cookie) that has chocolate pudding in it (they call it creme, but they are liars, and it's pudding). Easily one of the best afro-related foods I've had.

I don't know if I'm supposed to eat that thing because it looks like a muffin, or the whole thing folds out into a huge afro some how that I can actually use a wig.

Back when I lived in Japan this one black dude would pound down the street in huge bell bottoms, his foot tall afro bouncing with each step. He would alternate between an afro pick and a giant pair of 70's headphones each time I saw him. True story.

Why does the katakana say melon "pan"? Funny that it blends two different languages, it was one of those ones where I sat and looked at it like "wtf" for a minute.

[–]burtonlang -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Japanese uses a lot of English loan words, and loan words are always written in katakana (in fact, that's the main use for it, afaiu).

[–]GLAMARKY 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I know this. I just found it interesting that one phrase uses words from two different languages.

edit: pan, not being English...

[–]crazigrl 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Katakana is for loan words, or words from another country. So, though most are from English, others can be from other languages. I would guess that pan came from Portuguese missionaries.

That said, anyone know where konsento comes from?

[–]GLAMARKY 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

If someone can read katakana, I think you should assume that they know this. I had difficulty figuring out what it said, and it's because "melon pan" blends loan words from two languages. When it starts in English, I tend to assume every word is English.

[–]Smnynb -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

They're both Japanese words, you know.

That's what weed should look like if they ever sell it in supermarkets. But it's a tree instead of a head. Obviously.

I would eat that affro tbh I think it's one of those things that doesn't look too good at first good but I bet it's DEE LISH!

It's melon bread, and it's about 400 times more delicious than it sounds.

How's that racist? The guy in the pic has plenty of Asian features, his skin is more or less tanned as many Japanese people. Why do you assume afro's are limited to black people? Maybe you're the racist one.

The Japanese seem to love black people though, a lot! Always using them in commercials, etc.

[–]darbish 1 point2 points ago

Don't feel sorry. That's actually a pretty accurate comparison. A lot of Africano tarento portray bumbling, primitive or downright stupid characters. A lot of older Japanese people will tell you that they find people of African descent frightening and I think younger folk see them as somewhat of a novelty because of the extreme difference in skin-color and appearance compared to the average pure-blood Japanese person.
