Default We finally tried "Plant Based Burgers" and our opinions surprised even us!

(Had this been a real Click-bait test, you all would have failed).

A couple months ago they had "Sweet Earth" entrees for $1/each (up
to 80% off). I looked at each of them and decided they weren't even
worth the $1.

https://www.goodnes.com/sweet-earth/

But this week they had a coupon for 100% off (Limit 1 electronic
coupon). So I "bought" the 2-pack of 1/4lb "Bacon Burgers with
Benovelent Bacon(tm)". Normally they cost $6 without 100% coupon.

First, the bacon:

https://i.postimg.cc/qRwwL008/Backup-Bacon.jpg

If you're vegan, that looks pretty ****ing good, eh? That's because
this is one of the products in my new line of foods called "Backup
Bacon(tm)" which I'm marketing to gullible dumshits that buy vegan
foods named after meat products expecting them to taste like meat.

THIS is what the Sweet Earth vegan "Benevolent Bacon Burgers" look
like (cooking in bacon fat, sosueme).

https://i.postimg.cc/0jHCTfzj/Sweet-...con-Burger.jpg

Yes, they look like dog food and smell like it too.

And to compliment my new "Backup Bacon(tm)" comes another new
product called, "Backup Burger(tm)", which is also certified and
guaranteed to be "100% vegetarian animal-based food(tm)" (imagine
the uproar and free advertising for that semantically correct
statement)

https://i.postimg.cc/RF4GKqrS/Backjup-Burger-in-Pan.jpg

The Sweet Earth Burgers were terrible. The "bacon" was 98%
rehydrated vital wheat gluten and the "burger" was 95% rehydrated
pea protein concentrate (AKA "Textured Vegetable Protein")/ Andf
they were dry as Death Valley. The only thing we could taste was
artificial smoke and grill flavor. There were no amount of
condiments that could make it tastier or less dry. If they have
another free coupon, I would not partake in the gimmick again.

I was so glad that I had my "Backup Bacon(tm) Backup Burger(tm)"
that my eyes started watering and I started drooling and making cow
and swine sounds. I was so happy I had that backup plan that I was
halfway done with the BBBB before I realized I forgot to put the BB
on the bread! Doh! That's how good it was!

https://i.postimg.cc/yNFvDcbp/Backup...got-Burger.jpg

Keep a lookout for my new line of "Backup Foods(tm)" in a store near
you! Along with my soon-to-be-released, "You Wouldn't Believe Its
Not Meat!(tm)" line of "100% vegetarian animal-based foods(tm)".

They must really be good if they give 100% off to get rid of them.

Thank you, based on your comments I'll wait for the "new and improved"
to try them.

I've liked the fake "meats" I've tried recently, both the very
expensive Beyond Meat and a much cheaper chickpea and zucchini based
"meat". They all tasted like a McDonald's hamburger to me. Although I
like tempeh even more.

I wonder why meat eaters even eat meat replacements. They have no
scruples or morals, so why not eat tortured industry meat, like the
sadistic Draculas that they are?

And I don't know why a vegetarian would want a simulation of eating
killed animals. That's 100% admitting that meat is enjoyable.

Of course it is. I like the taste of meat. I just don't want to
torture and kill animals. Duh.

Simple solution there. Let others torture and kill the animals.
Buy nice meat in the grocery store.

Exactly. I've expressed the same sentiment dozens of different ways
in the past, and yours is as good or better than any.

All y'all don't get it. I guess meat's not very good for the brain.

|One of my beefs about vegetarians is their use of faux meats. I have
had vegetarians try to foist things like veggie dogs and veggie burgers
on me and telling me they taste just like meat. They don't taste as much
like meat as meat does.

Yet I would wager that veggies decry the consumption of processed foods.

I like fake meat. If the ingredient list isn't a kilometre long, I'll
eat it occasionally. What do meat eaters know about meat alternatives
anyway

No they didn't. Only McDonalds hamburgers taste like McDonald's
hamburgers. That's why they are so successful, like it or not.

You just said above that you've tried them.

I never minded McDonalds hamburgers taste-wise. They tasted a bit like
baby food, but not bad. But the meat flavour hardly mattered with all
the other additions. It would taste as good to me with fake meat.

Yes, but I'm not a meat eater.

Interesting. Back in the early-mid 1970's we would often go on weekend
surfing trips to Cape Hatteras, NC. About 150 miles away but the waves
were always better there.

Back then, it was wilderness. No motels or restaurants. Only a small
general store, and 10 miles a way a movie theater that only showed one
movie per night. We camped in a tent or just slept in the van.

I always bought a bunch of baby food (in the small jars) and that was my
food for the weekend. lol At the time, food was just a necessity. The
surfing was the main event there.

Many years ago, I bought a pack of veggie burgers. Gartenburgers.
I never tasted it plain but I would put one on a bun with all the
condiments plus onion lettuce tomato. Tasted pretty good to me.

OK...this is odd. I just looked those up and there is no mention of them
on Google. I was sure the name was right. These were veggie burgers sold
like 20 years ago. I bought some, dammit.

I tried a Beyond Burger just to see what the fuss is all about. IIRC my
"backup burger" was scrambled eggs.

Some omnivores might eat meat replacements because they think the
replacements are more healthful than beef.

after reading the ingredients of most popular ones i'd say
they're not all that much healthier, but in terms of impact
on the environment they might be better. we'll see what
happens. me, i like beans, so that is a good enough meat
replacement for my purposes and i'm glad i can grow most of
the beans we eat here at home in the gardens so i know those
are better for the environment.

I don't like beans all that well, but I also eat a lot of vegetarian
meals. I just finished up a bowl of vegetable soup (yes, with beans in
it), a bit of cheese, and a slice of bread.

Yes, beans can be a good meat replacement. Unless you need a bloody
steak every day and enjoy the taste of heated up blood, I guess.

Yes, maybe. Or for environmental reasons.

According to the WHO, some meats are as bad for you as smoking, but
not the lean meats if I remember correctly.

Nope. This is their initial investment push to "bring awareness" to
their product line. What? You didn't sink all your investment
capital into these? You FOOL!

Plant based is not new. This is:

Culture grown meat from meat stem cells. Very possible just not widely done yet!

I'd eat it!

I saw that coming some time back. These days, I'm not so sure that it's going to make sense from an economic and market stand point. My guess is that cultured chicken might work to make the ubiquitous chicken nugget. Kids seem to love that stuff.

Today, for lunch I had happy fried chicken. I call it "happy" because it has no bones to pick. It's coated with my Southern fried flour. It's seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder. and MSG.

I like Southern fried chicken but in my state of depression, I'm not up to frying up thighs with bones. Boneless thighs are pretty much the chicken of Hawaii and certain Asian countries. This is just Southern fried chicken done in a Hawaiian style.

Yum that looks lovely I have MSG but I never notice a difference in
flavour when I use it or not.

It's pretty easy for me to detect in certain foods. If potato/mac salad doesn't have MSG, it feels like there's a big hole in the flavor. At the local restaurants it's about 50/50 with MSG/no MSG. My guess is that people don't put MSG in potato salad on the mainland.

None of them? I thought the US was almost as much of a melting pot as
Australia.

I never make potato salad. I do like the flavor of MSG and even bought a
small container of it 2-3 years ago. Still haven't used it. I never
think to use it plus I'm not even sure what to add it to anyway.

2 years ago you PROMISED us that these meat replicators were the
future of meat and in 20 years we'd all have one of them on our
counters.
