They're pretty good and the taste and particularly the texture are close to real meat. They're worth trying at least once.

>>13056522
good but expensive

they have a weird smell, they are too soft, and they taste more like a slimjim than they do to beef

>>13056522
I think beyond's better but beyond doesn't taste like real meat.

>>13056522
I've tried one. Expensive but not bad. It tastes like a burger that "something isn't right, but I can't put my finger on it".

Imo I eat meat so I'd rather just get a burger. Although it's great for veg/vegans for another option.

Would I buy it again? Nah.

>>13056539
>>13056551
>>13056560
Do you guys think it will get better and cheaper as time goes on?

>>13056577
They've made statements that say they'll be cheaper than real meat sometime in 2020 once they've completed they're newest phase of production. That includes government subsidies. Technically they're cheaper than beef currently but taxes subsidize beef by about 60%.

>>13056577
Better? Sure. Cheaper? Not for a long time.

It's in the "niche" market, meaning if it's a vegans only option at a good burger, they are going to keep the price high, because vegans will buy it.

The price of the market is ALWAYS what the consumer will pay, regardless of how cheap it is to make

>>13056600
Vegans aren't going to buy it, they tested on animals to make it. That means they'll buy the first copycat competitor's who markets it as a vegan product.

The Impossible burger literally tastes better then beef

>>13056522
Recently tried an impossible whopper. Just imagine a whopper, except it tastes shittier...if that's possible.

>>13056737
Impossible Whopper tastes better than the real whopper, though

>>13056737
The Impossible Whopper tastes better. It has a more charcoal flavor rather than gas grill. Plus it's healthier.

>>13056915
Do you work for BK corporate, or do they sub out their shills? Impossible whopper is ass.

>>13056920
No. I'm also not paranoid of being marketed to. You won't even notice the subtlety that is online marketing in the current. The Impossible™ Whopper simply tastes better.

>>13056952
Nobody mentioned patanoia, except you.

>>13056920
How is it shilling for BK to say that the Impossible Whopper is better? The normal whopper is ass. The Impossible Whopper is better.

The Impossible Whopper tastes better than your actual whopper BK

>>13056615
Vegans already buy it

>>13056522
No.

>>13057988
No they don’t. Nobody does.

>>13056522
just eat a real one dont be a faggot

>>13056522
Bought one of these before the big ad hype started and I didn't read the fine print (I'm used to just ordering whatever theme burger they have) so I had no idea what I was getting into. By the third bite I knew something was seriously wrong. I had to go back up the counter and read the board to conform my suspicions.

Anyone who can't tell that this isn't beef needs to have his taste buds checked.

they make my farts smell SUPER bad. like 3 hours after i eat them. if you want to really get somebody back eat one of these then dutch oven them.

>>13056522
>Are impossible burgers le good?

They're amazing mate.

>>13059382
And right on schedule the toothless carnist appears. Howdy!

>>13056522
They are shit and anyone who claims they taste like meat are lying vegan tranny shills

>>13059601
>n-no it cant t-taste like meat, NIGGER!!!
Grim existence

>>13058897
I did that but with on sale ice cream at the supermarket, it wasn't really ice cream but it was ok if you like frozen nut butter

Does it taste like actual meat? No
Does it taste close enough to processed fast food meat that it's hard to tell the difference? Yes

>>13059382
TOOTHLESS LMAO

I really like beyond burgers and incredible burger. It feels just like eating meat without the guilt and sadness associated with dead animals.

>>13056522
I had whichever fake burger that BK sells a little while ago and it was decent. If you didn't tell me it wasn't meat I probably wouldn't notice. I also haven't had a real whopper in a while, so I don't really have a clear point of comparison.

I also used to get beyond meat catered for work meetings every once in a while and they're decent enough, but salty as shit like any fake meat I've ever eaten.

They aite, but still too expensive to be a viable alternative for me personally. Also way too salty.

>>13056522
no replacement product will ever be good dummy, don't be a junkfood vegan

>>13056522
>Are Impossible Burgers good?
No, they really suck, make sure you get a drink because you'll need it. Pretty sure this is guerilla advertising.

>>13059423
Howdy what's a "carnist?"

>>13061319
Your vegan dollars kill countless animals, also deforestation and chemical pesticides use..

>>13056522
you cant tell the difference

I had one yesterday from bk. It tasted just fine and pretty much indistinguishable from their regular one. Maybe if I made one on my own from impossible meat Id taste a difference.

Not worth the price imo. If the Impossible Meat ever becomes as cheap or cheaper, it will be good.

>>13061534
it's also like a dollar or two more expensive than the regular whopper. the fucking nerve.

>>13056539
The only reason they're expensive is because the govt doesn't subsidize it. If the government subsidized mock meats it'd be significantly cheaper than subsidized real meats

The overwhelming majority of government subsidies go to meat and dairy and its unsustainable.

>>13061551
>and its unsustainable.
...I mean as long as people keep buying meat and dairy and the government keeps subsidizing them, it's sustainable lol.

>>13061561
It's unsustainable because people are eating so much they get fat and disgusting, which results in billions in medical costs. And yeah I agree but people should have self control, but if everyone exercised self control then all that meat and dairy would rot on the shelves.

>>13061543
You say that like the last 20 years of whopper is worth the money, they had to make them three dollars just so people would buy them again

>>13056522
I had the impossible whopper the other day, pretty good, not 100% but pretty damn close to a real burger.

>>13061620
>it's unsustainable because of government subsidies
>NOW IT'S UNSUSTAINABLE BECAUSE PEOPLE EAT TOO MUCH
which one is it?

can always tell when its prime time for third worlders to post here. why the fuck would anyone trust the opinion on meat from someone who considers it a rare delicacy?

sorry eurocucks, ill continue eating actual meat because it doesn't taste like a charred turd. yes, you can tell the difference from real meat. the only reason you can barely tell a difference at burger king is because their actual meat is garbage too.

Had one yesterday and it was legit awful. Don't believe the lies.

>>13061620
Food does rot on the shelves in the first world, like a little less than half of all of it.

>>13061635
I'm not the same guy, I'm just pointing out the reason I think it's unsustainable.

>>13061644
Well, that's idiotic. My tax dollars shouldn't go to welfare for agribusiness.

>>13056522
>fetal_alcohol_swede.jpg
EAT THE BUGS!

>>13061681
I don't think my tax dollars should go to welfare at all, rich people should have to pay for that.

>>13056522
no, they texture doesn't match and when they are grilled, the crust tastes just like the char on grilled vegetables aka nothing like grilled meat.
you might be able to fool a tastelet with one but they still won't rate it as highly as real meat

>>13061725
For some people, usually left wing people, politics is way more important than the truth.

>>13056522
They have literally no taste and are dry as fuck. Stay away.

For all the retards bitching about the price (which is because governments subsidize beef), you'll end up paying the difference plus more when you get an ass cancer diagnosis.

Blame your government for the price difference.

>>13056522
No, its shit like most vegan meals.

>>13061737
*denies global warming*

>>13061908
enjoy your ass cancer meat cuck

>>13056522
my only complaint is the cost, i would be unable to tell it's not meat unless you told me beforehand

>>13061929

*becomes a hairlet at 30

>Dont you care about the animals??!!!
*Takes shitload of vitamins and supplements because vegan meals dont provide all the neccesary nutrions.

>>13061958
Whatever helps u sleep at night. Remind me again how many vegan athelets have broken any records? Better yet how many of them compete at a high level?

>>13061972
For how little vegans there's are, a lot of athletes are vegan. Faster recovery, more explosive movements, cleaner blood.

>>13061955
Got any science to back that up? Omnivores have more nutritive deficiencies on average from the studies I've seen. Meat and dairy are very high in calories in comparison to their micronutrients.

Im not even gonna bother with the rest, but u see the pattern here dont u? They built their bodies on meat diets and then switched to vegan after they retired or carrers whent downhill. But atleast u tried.

>>13062092
>Posting the nutrition facts of raw beef
>raw beef.
try again soyboy. most of that fat goes away on the grill. its also filling i dont have to consume larger portions because ur shit diet contains next to no calories.

>>13062092
all deficiencies must not be equal because the average regular normal joe looks way better than the average meat abstainer

>>13062167
no it doesn’t

>>13062193
>Got any science to back that up?

>>13062193
legit most of the fat would burn away on a grill. how do you think coleman grills work if fat can't be removed?

>>13062201
you mean a foreman grill which is mechanically designed to remove fat you retard?

>>13062210
>mechanically designed

Way to fall for the marketing, dumbass. Fat melts and drips out through the grate on a normal grill.

>>13062210
This is some seriously low iq posting, you must vote left

Places near me don't have them yet

>>13056522
It tastes pretty close to meat, but there are tastier and much cheaper vegan options (at least here in sweden). But it may only be me as i like the vegan option more than meat

>>13062133
The best free climber in the world is vegan. He climbs cliffs for hours without any real rest. Are you going to say vegans are weak and dont have any energy?

>>13063303
