ISLAMABAD: A street vendor’s unique burger recipe has left Twitter users feeling both bewildered and queasy. The vendor has created a burger using paan or betel leaves, instead of traditional ingredients such as vegetables or meat, as reported by NDTV.
The video of the “paan burger” went viral on social media, and Twitter users expressed mixed feelings. Azhar Jafri Videowala shared the video with a caption that read, “Just when we thought we have seen it all. Paan Burger.”
In the video, the vendor can be seen adding chocolate, barfi, almonds, candy sprinkles, and gulkand to the betel leaves. He then adds mayonnaise and places a burger bun on top before cutting it into equal halves.
Just when we thought we have seen it all 😕

Mix reaction from twitties to paan burger video
The video has so far received more than 271K views, 141 retweets, 157 quote tweets, and 832 likes, gaining immense traction.
However, it has left many netizens nauseated at the sight of the bizarre paan burger.
One Twitter user wrote, “Isme khane ka kya and thukne ka kya (What is there to eat in it and what is there to spit out)?” Another user commented, “Burger aur paan dono se nafrat ho jayegi ye dekh kar (After seeing this, one will hate both burgers and paan).”
As content creators feature novel food recipes as a way to attract audiences to their platforms, some recipes seem appetizing, while others remain questionable and odd. This paan burger certainly falls under the latter category, leaving many wondering why anyone would try such a unique recipe.
