With many hospitality outlets struggling at the moment, with increased costs creating a tough trading environment, it’s encouraging to hear of a new venture.

I don’t see them lasting long, pandas are a critically endangered species.

Agree. Probably best to consume within 45mins of serving

A Panda is a large animal so surely a quarter panda will be far too large for most people unless you are hosting a large party.

Also, I assume they won't be using the usual delivery partners as I don't think most of them could get a quarter panda on their moped / illegal eBike.

Or Chi Chi Ken burgers as they used to be known. Do they come with Ann Ann bread?

These stories are never as black and white as they seem. They are sometimes designed to bamboo-zle us.

Sometimes these things are not as black and white as they seem

But the Chinese don't eat Pandas - so it would not be one of their indigenous meals.

Chinese culture generally views pandas as symbols of national pride and conservation rather than as a food source. Here are some key reasons why pandas are not eaten:

1. Cultural Significance: Pandas are seen as a national treasure in China, representing peace and friendship. They are often associated with conservation efforts and are a symbol of wildlife preservation.
2. Conservation Status: Pandas are classified as vulnerable, with significant efforts made to protect their population and habitat. Eating them would contradict these conservation efforts.
3. Legal Protections: In China, pandas are protected by law, and it is illegal to harm or kill them. This legal framework reinforces their status as protected wildlife.
4. Dietary Preferences: Pandas primarily eat bamboo, and their unique diet and physiology make them less suitable for human consumption compared to other animals.

Overall, the combination of cultural reverence, legal protections, and conservation efforts contributes to the decision not to eat pandas.

So - I think you must be mistaken in reading the menu at your burger outlet. Maybe it actually said 'quarter-pounder' meaning that whatever meat it was inside was approximately four ounces in weight?

Apparently in Kenya they also eat donkeys as fast food. The quarter punda

I consulted a medium who said it would be rare.
Well done.

Based on the portions advertised I assume they are serving up panda cubs rather than adults. Possibly the meat is more tender, like lamb versus mutton?

But since pandas are a protected species I can't see this venture lasting long at all.

In fact I'm surprised this hasn't made more of splash in the mainstream media.
