Comment on Beyond Beef? Impossible Beef? I Can't Believe It's Not Beef?

  I’ve had a couple of Burger King’s ‘Impossible’ burgers. They’re not terrible. I’ve had actual beef burgers that were worse.

  As a lifelong meat eater, anytime I’ve been in a situation where I abstain from meat for whatever reason, I avoid meat substitutes. They’re just not good. Black bean burger? Fantastic. Beyond burger? Satan’s taint. Stir fried veggies with fried tofu? Delicious. Qorn chicken stir fry? Beelzebub’s unwashed ass.

  It’s so much better just to stop trying to imitate meat, and just focus on how frickin delicious veggies and stuff can be. They’re very good, all on their own!

  The exception for me is the impossible burger. I legitimately like it better than a regular burger. It’s like if meat could be sourdough. I love it so much. But it truly is an exception.

    Try soaked shredded wheat as a mince meat replacement in Chili con Carne. It’s seriously good.

    Or falafel burgers with fried egg. That stuff is amazing.

  Tbh, McDonalds vegan burgers are the best patties they have. Not because they are great, but because at least they don’t taste like fried shoe sole like their beef burgers.

  Seriously, their beef burgers are animal cruelty. No animal deserves to be turned into that garbage.

  I quite like both Impossible and Beyond burgers. Honestly, better than a lot of the shitty fast food Styrofoam “meat” they try to pass off.

  Impossible is pretty good, but yeah I stay away from Beyond. It ain’t it.
