Wendy’s Japan Prosciutto Burger Can F@#K On Off Right Now

Prosciutto is practically bougie bacon, so it’s only logical that the buttery, dry-cured Italian ham has finally made its way onto a fast food burger. What isn’t logical is that it didn’t happen here.

For a few years now, Wendy’s Japan has been playing with its own “Premium” line of burgers including such gloriously upper class creations as the Foie Gras Rossini, Lobster and Caviar, Surf & Turf, Avocado Wasabi and now, the Prosciutto Mozzarella Italiano. Featuring the eponymous prosciutto dressed with basil cream cheese sauce, sun-dried tomato sauce, mozzarella, spring greens, mayonnaise and tomato, it’s more than enough to make you curse yourself for not living in Japan.

And okay, we know we’ve been asking this question pretty much ad nauseam by now but seriously, why do foreign countries get all the good food? Are foreign fast food menu designers just more adventurous than ours are? Is the rest of the world just classier? Do Japanese people get to eat like this all the time?

The Prosciutto Mozzarella Italiano is now available from Wendy’s Japan for 880 yen (~$8.96 USD), where it will continue to mock us with its sheer existence, UGH.
