it does taste amazing and the texture is amazing both very solid but the part i can't get over is the smell. it smells so fricking rotten uncooked and while it's cooking. absolutely loathe it, but i enjoy it enough that i cook with it anyway
unfortunately though this board is full of fat boomers in their mid-30s that have an autistic fit at anything new, if it's not some greasy manly steak or whatever the frick it's "soy" and "homosexualy"
so, you won't be finding much agreement here
i've been on several boards since 2006 because i too, am a fat loser in my mid 30s, but this board has by far always attracted the stupidest people, if you don't count mental illness as stupidity (/x/, Culinaly, etc)
>it smells so fricking rotten uncooked and while it's cooking
I agree with this about the Beyond shit. It smells like cat food raw. Never felt that way with Impossible though.
since I'm still a degenerate fast food eater, I like the white castle impossible sliders and the impossible whopper
can't have burgers anymore cause of my colon but impossible gets the burger job done beautifully
>can't have burgers anymore cause of my colon
Why not? I have a colon as well and I can still have burgers. Kindly do the needful and elaborate more, please.
undiagnosed, so idk if IBS or what, but red meat is the only thing I eat (prepared "healthy" or otherwise) where I have bad digestive issues.
burgers are my favorite food, but I don't want my insides to die every time so I am completely content eating chicken, turkey or veggie burgers
white castle and BK make slamming ones
Those impossible burgers have more calories and billion times more salt and other additives in them.
Ground beef is beef and thats that.
I'm amazed there are people actually trying to defend this literal goyslop. No wonder people are getting so fat and sick, it wasn't enough to replace healthy animal fats with seed oils and process the shit out of everything but they literally put said oils into the replacement meats too. Disgusting.
never tried it because for some reason despite ground meat being at an all time high it's still cheaper to buy a pound of beef than it is to get even a little pack of this stuff
what's even the point of advertising a meat substitute if in the middle of some of the worst inflation in a generation it's still more expensive than beef?
My gf is vegetarian so I tried a lot of her foods. It tastes decent, but personally I don't like amount of different ingredients that are being used in these. It feels very over processed.
Impossible isn't a publicly-traded company and thus has no stock, but they appear to be doing quite well. >Impossible Foods’ 2021 retail sales were up 85% year over year. Its products are available in 20,000 grocery stores and 40,000 restaurants.
If they make something that is okay, a reasonable price and similar macros to the lean ground turkey i buy, I'd consider it. Until then I'm not buying a protien substitute that is 33% fat and 33% carb. The protien is most likely not complete either.
As an imitation of meat, it's the best. However I don't like the taste of ground beef anyway, so I prefer beyond burger; which tastes like advanced-veggie burger.
some of my favorite out-to-eat sandwiches are the veggies burgers that taste like their own take on an actual veggie patty, instead of trying and failing to mimic meat.
people who get creative with different kinds of veggie patties are the best
As a vegetarian of 5 years or so, I'm surprised how well it fools me. Maybe it's been too long since I've had real ground beef, but this tastes exactly the same to me. Maybe even a bit better.
It does taste good, but it's impractical. Unless you're doing a no meat diet then it's too costly and doesn't really do much itself. You might as well just make a veggie dish.
I'm very open-minded and went into the whole vegan-meat market WANTING to enjoy it, tried a couple of the brands (impossible, beyond, others I can't remember the name of), but dear lord... the texture on this is absolutely atrocious, and the aftertaste reminds me of the smell of dog food...
They should just stop branding this as a meat-replacement and make it its own thing, it's nothing like meat and I feel it'll never be anything like meat. People saying "it tastes better than meat" also seem to miss the entire point which is to taste exactly LIKE meat, not like something else which you may find better 😐
I have no problem eating vegetarian products, just create something new that tastes good on its own, don't try to recreacte a widely abundant product (of which the original will be cheaper and taste better). If you want to make a vegetarian/vegan product, don't model it after meat.
Frick off Black person

i could be getting them mixed up then
Honestly? Yes it tastes good. The breakfast sausage literally tastes oike chicharon and that's not even capping.
>They got me good bros...

Maybe you're fat because you eat this trash?
I'm not anti new foods. I eat several new foods every year. It's just real food and not franken shit.
>t. Fit winner in my mid 30s.
>real food
nice buzzword, homosexual
You are far, far likelier to get fat eating real ground beef than this. Facts don't care about your feelings
maybe because it tastes better
people don't tend to lose weight on processed food diets, while they do on carnivore diets
>maybe because it tastes better
No, because it is fattier and more calorically dense.
I think he is too moronic to be saved. its like talking to a brick wall, I wouldn't waste your time
Lol. Lmao even.
Keep sucking down that marketing wiener, dipshit. Plant based foods are the future. Impossible slop and beyond chemicals are not.
lmao give me all that salt
ima be a salty boy
>there are no established toxic levels for thiamine
>all that saturated fat, carbs, and sodium
>pumping as many fake vitamins into it as you can
No thanks I'll stick with my "unhealthy" meat.
>Excess thiamine might cause me tal confusion
No wonder vegans are usually crazy and stupid.
if im more likely to get fat then how come I'm not fat?
Those impossible burgers have more calories and billion times more salt and other additives in them.
Ground beef is beef and thats that.

>oy vey my stocks in meat companies are going downnnnn
>SHOVE ANIMAL PARTS IN EVERYTHING TO BE BASED
They're astroturfing ~~*WEF*~~ employees.
>can't get over is the smell. it smells so fricking rotten uncooked and while it's cooking
To me it smells like fireworks.

i'm in the same boat. it's also expensive
Is that why it's stock lost 80% of it's value?
Impossible isn't a publicly-traded company and thus has no stock, but they appear to be doing quite well.
>Impossible Foods’ 2021 retail sales were up 85% year over year. Its products are available in 20,000 grocery stores and 40,000 restaurants.
>Admit it. It tastes good.
I have oxalate issues so I'm not going to eat it no matter how it tastes.
I would rather eat the bugs
I wouldn't
Where do you stand on eating the vegans?
>not posting nutrition facts
no wonder vegans have beer bellies.
If they make something that is okay, a reasonable price and similar macros to the lean ground turkey i buy, I'd consider it. Until then I'm not buying a protien substitute that is 33% fat and 33% carb. The protien is most likely not complete either.
It really doesn't.

I can't taste the suffering.
it's passable but i'll rather make my own substitute meat out of fava beans or whatever for tenth of the cost and it tastes better
Imitation is the best form of flatulence.
it is OK but it ain't fooling me
As a vegetarian of 5 years or so, I'm surprised how well it fools me. Maybe it's been too long since I've had real ground beef, but this tastes exactly the same to me. Maybe even a bit better.
That's impossible.
i miss real meat
but if going veggy saves people's lives
This shit tastes good too OP, dig in
Can they go higher than high? Like extreme corn syrup
you will always be deficient
Just eat a mushroom or eggplant burger this fake shit is full of chemicals and industrial waste
A breaded and fried eggplant slice would be better and cheaper than this fake meat slop.
Who cares, there's so many real veggie based dishes out there, there's no excuse for eating this kind of trash.
overengineered bullshit
asians have been making flavoured soy patties for centuries
It does taste good, but it's impractical. Unless you're doing a no meat diet then it's too costly and doesn't really do much itself. You might as well just make a veggie dish.
Estrogen does not taste good at all.
I don't even do beef burgers any more I only eat buffalo, no way in hell would I try that garbage.
>
Tried the savory and the spicy sausage out of interest, both tasted good but they reeked to hell while cooking
What the hell is that?
I'm very open-minded and went into the whole vegan-meat market WANTING to enjoy it, tried a couple of the brands (impossible, beyond, others I can't remember the name of), but dear lord... the texture on this is absolutely atrocious, and the aftertaste reminds me of the smell of dog food...

I tried, really did, but it's not good at all
perfect ground beef doesn't taste good to begin with
I have no problem eating vegetarian products, just create something new that tastes good on its own, don't try to recreacte a widely abundant product (of which the original will be cheaper and taste better). If you want to make a vegetarian/vegan product, don't model it after meat.
We should start making fake vegetables out of meat.
Arby's joked about this with a sausage shaped like a carrot. The product never left the test kitchen, though.
im sure you can post your used packaging then, as proof youve eaten it to know this
I don't eat it.
Quit fricking around dude if you want meat just eat meat if you don't don't. Bunch of queers eating lab concept food.
I'd rather eat fake meat made from ZE BUGS over this plant shit.
Yes. It is very tasty. That's all I got.
