Has anyone, here, tried the new "Impossible" burger?

I didn't realize the significance of it, thinking it was only the name
of a new type of meat burger that had become "trendy". Now, I realize
it is actually a new "veggie" burger outta Silly-Con Valley that
promises to revolutionize the beef industry.

Izzit true? Anyone?

You mean, like, from a new kind of animal?

Has any new veggie burger "revolutionized the beef industry"? And
why would it? It might have a .001% effect on the "ground beef
industry", but I don't exactly see anyone shaking in their boots
when it costs $4/more per pound at the restaurant level.

BTW, the other one is "Beyond Meat". I forget which one is which,
but they both "feed" each other in terms of marketing and awareness
and awareness.

The only thing this they both do is make it clear that Vegetarians
Want Meat. Vegetarians NEED meat. Vegetarians should JUST EAT
MEAT!

Well said sir, As a full fledged meat eating vegan I just want to say
that meat eating is not just your run of the mill kill and feed bill.
It is an ART. Have you ever watched some of those People that murder
some of those poor innocent bunnies, oh the poor poor bunnies I weep
for you. But these people, chefs if you will chop these buggers up,
filet them and dice and ground the dead carcass until it is ready to
be thrown in the searing oil or put in the blazing hot oven, only then
to be presented to you as a masterpiece of dead animal that tastes
like heaven.

Meat is murder!! but it still tastes delicious!

If we weren't meant to eat animals, they wouldn't be made out of meat.

Humans are made out of meat too. I guess you're a cannibal.

Bruce, that quote belongs to someone else, didn't keep track. that is why it is in quotes.

But humans being made out of meat is why I live in the northern Midwest. Meat keeps
longer in the cold. ;-))

Angela wanted to try the Beyond burger. She liked the first couple of bites
then threw it down and said it was disgusting. I tried a tiny bite and it
was disgusting. Weirdly soft texture. Like a Vienna sausage. Weird flavor
too!

I do like the Sunshine black bean burger but it's not pretending to be meat.

Wow. That is really amazing. She liked the first couple of bites but
then threw it down and said that it was disgusting. What exactly was it
that turned it from something good to something disgusting in just a
couple bites?

It might be like a extra hot jalapeño. The first bite or two reminds me
of sweet bell pepper. Then the mistake kicks in.

That could be. I've eaten things like that. I once made a bean and kale
soup. The first few bites were good but the seasonings built up rapidly. I
had followed the recipe and initially followed the recipe, thinking the
seasonings seemed off. And they were! I have made it since, but seasoned to
taste.

Some years ago, had the same thing happen at a Chicago style pizza place in
Seattle. The culprit there was garlic. My SIL and I both dropped our slices
at about the same time and began fanning our mouths. Nobody else had a
problem with it but it was far too much garlic for us.

Heh. I'm the same with Pop Tarts. I can eat a frosted cherry one if nothing
else is available but the others? Ick.

I'd call that a Compost Burger... the food freaks need to come up with
their own names for the fake food they eat.. stealing burger says they
eat beef, a burger is ALWAYS beef... to me "vegan" is a UFO Alien, no
way no how are they human. Call them latkes, no way they are burgers.
Vegies/Vegans are a bunch of SICKO Hijackers!... and not a one of them
can cook anything, NADA, ZERO. ZILCH!

I've tried the Beyond Burger. My guess is that it's the kind of stuff the young people are looking for.

Here's my latest U2B video on the "Impossible Burger".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ng4C2HMH664

Our closest BK is now dead, but I see the writing on the wall. Only
problem is, that $28 dollar price comes down to almost $3.50USD per
burger! Izzat right? Not gonna sell a whole lotta them at that price.

Way too pricey for mystery compost burgers. Just a five minute stroll
down the road from me is a Black Angus beef farmer... anyone wants can
walk out into a field and scoop up lots of cow flop veggie patties
that actually come from a cow.... same farmer raises pasture fed hogs
too, get your vegetarian bacon patties.

If you wait for the BK coupons that come out every few months,
you can buy 2 Whoppers for like $3.99 plus tax.
It's a BOGO deal.

With same repeated coupons, another good one is
Buy two Whopper Jr's and 2 small fries for only $3.99 + tax.

Right now, BK is advertising 10 chicken nuggets for $1.50. Not
too bad but I bought a bunch when they sold for 10 for a dollar.
I like those well enough for the price. They have plain and spicy
and both are tasty.
