meat

>>13745327
Tried the burgers before, tasted pretty close to a normal beef burger. But the artificial smoke flavor is a bit over powering and the smell sticks to your hands regardless of washing them. Also they're not really any healthier, bunch of processed shit and just as many calories and saturated fats as a real burger. So if you're not vegan, maybe try it but definitely wouldn't keep eating them.

>>13745327
I've had their burgers and sausage and I've gotta say I wouldn't know it was fake if you didnt tell me.

You can't refrigerate and reheat them though, they get all rubbery and gross.

>>13745337
It's indistinguishable? No funny plant taste?

A real American doesn't eat these so how the hell should we know?

Field Roast is your best bet imho

>>13745362
there are no saturated fats, only hydrogenated vegetable oils. they ruin your body. at least you understand to not consume them.

>>13745327
like 5 days worth of HRT in each patty

>>13745527
>It's indistinguishable?
No. It's hard to tell if you make a burger and add a lot of topping because it gets mixed in with everything else, but if you taste it on its own you can tell it's not real meat pretty quickly. That doesn't necessarily mean it's bad though. I eat real beef burgers once in a while but I like veggie burgers too just for something different. But I don't really consider it a meat replacement.

>>13745327
Tastes like leftover dog food.

>>13745327
It tastes like estrogen.

tastes like my boyfriends taint

>>13745327
the consistency and flavor isnt like meat

its not bad in anyway but calling it "beyond meat" it prentious and wrong and worst of all its not even healthier for you

>>13745327
I tried the beyond burger it was gross. It definitely looked like beef, but you can also tell it's an imitation. And the taste isn't quite there yet. I've heard that the impossible burger is better and imitate beef more closely, but I couldn't try since it's banned in the EU.

It tastes as if it was designed by people who tried to stick to the technical description of what is a piece of meat without understanding why people like eating meat. The blood effect is absolutely disgusting and unconvincing. I would rather have a product that focuses on imitating the texture of cooked and well grilled meat, even if it's not red and not bleeding.

I bought an impossible whopper a few weeks ago to at least try it before I decided I hated it. It tasted like what a burger would taste like if the person designing it hadn't eaten a burger in like 20 years, which is probably the case honestly. It was not good and had a very foul smell when I unwrapped it.
I ate three bites and threw it away. I have tits now.

I tried the Beyond Burguer and the Impossible one and honestly tastes exactly like meat. The tryhards in this thread probably couldn't pick it up in a blind taste test btw

>>13747130
Honestly I'm sad for you if you can't taste the difference, at least for the beyond burger, which is the only one I tried. I would recognize it in a blind taste 100% of the time. You have to be only eating sauce covered fast food burgers to think that this shit is even close to a regular ground beef patty.
I'm not spitting on the idea tho, I'm convinced they'll do a better job in future iterations, and I'll be ready to try a better version, but it's not there yet if they want to compete with the real thing.

>>13745327
It tasted like fake meat the way diet soda tastes like fake soda. For me the worst part was the texture. It was like eating a raw hamburger patty. I had frequent and violent poopies for about 36 hours after trying a beyond meat burger.

I had an impossible whopper a few weeks ago and if you didn't tell me it was fake meat I'd just assume it was cut with venison

>>13746335
Fully hydrogenated vegetable oil is a saturated fat.

If you get it served somewhere nice, it's like eating a really good imitation of beef, especially in something like a burger where there are other tastes to crowd out the meat taste. But a lot of places just keep them in fridge and reheat them, and thus they taste like ass when you get them.

haven't had it yet, but just get a veggie burger ffs, don't bother with this frankenmeat. veggie patties aren't bad, i've had quite a few and the only bad thing i can say about one of them (it was cauliflower i think) was that it was too soft so when you squeezed the burgah it gets mushed and starts going out the sides

>>13745327

It hits the right notes.

I'm vegan but I actually loved meat, like I went out of my way to get exotic types of meat and organ meat and such.

Being able to wrap a Beyond Sausage in Beyond Beef, then wrap that in some faky bacon and deep-fry it, have it with a bucket of mayo and Stubbs bbq sauce? That's all I really want.

The only other thing I'm waiting for is a good liver substitute. Want braunschweiger.

>>13747349
>I'm vegan
>the rest of that post
... but why?

>>13747360
Op asked what it tastes like

I explained that it does the job of pushing those fat slob dopamine buttons in my brain, i.e. taste doesn't matter as much as I sufficiently gorge and hate myself at the end

>>13745327
I haven't tried Impossible but Beyond Meat was pretty terrible.
The best I could say it was closest in flavour to real meat, compared to other meat-alternatives.
Still nowhere near actual meat.
On top of that the smell, texture, and appearance are still far off. And they dry out quickly as they cool off, turning into hockey pucks. So you'd better cook only what you're actually going to eat immediately.

Tried one at a family gathering the other day, they're beyond vile. The cunt on the grill told me it was a "regular burger" and I knew immediately when I took a bite that it was fake meat

Are white people tastelets really so lame that they literally can't tell the difference between a chemical experiment bean patty vs. real beef???

lol.

This is the same group of white people tastelets who love processed cheese like velveeta & pig asshole 'hot dogs'.

>>13747810
It’s obviously people lying to encourage people to eat the fake meat. A better question is why do you leftists pretend you aren’t white on the internet?

>>13747810
>Are white people tastelets really so lame that they literally can't tell the difference between a chemical experiment bean patty vs. real beef???

This explains why obese white whales love processed junk food so much. They even managed to turn "vegan" healthy foods into high fat, high sodium, overprocessed garbage.

>>13745327
I've had beyond meat burger and sausages
Burger is good but literal hockey puck shaped making it annoying if you like a patty that fits in a run-of-the-mill burger bun imo
Sausages were weird. Granted, I think they were "undercooked" having been made in a shitty plug-in cooking pan. Had that highly processed raw meat texture but tasted ok.
Both were quite "meaty" in relation to other vegetarian/vegan meat alternatives I've tried
Nothing beats Amy's meatless veggie sausage in being a successful vegetarian simulation of a breakfast link, however, imo

>>13747902
oh yeah and also wanted to say that I would forever prefer a black bean burger or a morningstar veggie patty over anything beyond meat

>>13745327
Trash

>>13747810
>This is the same group of white people tastelets who love processed cheese like velveeta & pig asshole 'hot dogs'.

This. If dumb white retards want to be healthy, just eat natural, unprocessed vegetables. Not some science experiment chemical protein patty.

>>13747823
>high sodium
I can't wait until all the retarded boomers who still believe salt is bad die.

>>13747146
Talk to me when you walk the walk

Impossible burgers taste like salty overseasoned cardboard that vaguely feels like meat. It's hard to tell the difference when fast food beef patties also taste like cardboard.

Besides tasting almost entirely unlike proper beef, Beyond Burger has an aftertaste of plasticine. It is thoroughly unpleasant.
My brother, his wife and all the other people who spout on and on about how it tastes 'just like meat!' haven't had meat in so long that they've forgotten what meat actually tastes like.

>>13745362
>>13745444
>close to normal
>artificial smoke
>wouldn't know the difference
And which brand was that? It certainly wasn't Beyond. Well, the breakfast sausage does taste fairly similar to meat, to be fair. Turkey, specifically. As we all know, turkey is an absolute travesty as a breakfast sausage but at least the Beyond Sausage tastes like actual meat. The texture, however, isn't great.

>>13747089
I found the Impossible Whopper to be impossibly salty. To Beyond's credit, the texture is closer to an actual beef burger than was the Impossible, but neither is very good.
>banned in EU
Except in Germany? Cuz it's definitely available in Germany.

>>13748145
So it's not just the BK one, but also those sold in supermarkets? That's a pity.

>>13747907
I like bean burgers. The only MS burgers I've had have been un-bean ones, made of TVP and gluten, I think. That was decades ago, though.

>>13747483
>closest in flavour
Really? The aftertaste doesn't fill you with revulsion? Ugh. LightLife is the best one, but even that one isn't very good.

>>13745327
Tastes like ZOG, eat up!

>>13745327
I've had a few of these. They taste like burgers, but there's a flavor in there that you don't get with real burgers.
The texture is also slightly off, too.
Also, it's not more healthy than beef burgers, it's a vegan substitute.
So don't start eating 3 of them a day, thinking you cheat the system.

>>13746750
She's not a carnivore

>>13748460
I'm ready to die for the vegan cult sir!

>>13748476
>Also, it's not more healthy than beef burgers, it's a vegan substitute.

True. Mock meats are higher on the cancer scale than any real meat at the fast food places

>>13748482
Does Nigella not eat meat? Perhaps I was misinformed. Is she vegetarian perhaps?

>>13748501
Carnivore means you eat only meat and animal byproducts.

>>13748514
Educate yourself please.

carnivore[ kahr-nuh-vawr, -vohr ]
noun

>an animal that eats flesh.

>>13748601
she's such an ugly cunt

>>13746659
Imagine actually thinking this. Also, not realizing dairy products have actual animal estrogen in them... cringe.

>>13747822
>everybody I don’t like is a liberal

>>13748601
Then why would they bother with a separate definition for omnivore? Retard.

>>13745327
Those beyond burgers suck and you don't feel that nice satiated feeling you get when you eat actual meat. I just tried those and i have yet to try the beyond meat which I just picked up. i don't have high hopes desu

>>13747963
>This. If dumb white retards want to be healthy, just eat natural, unprocessed vegetables. Not some science experiment chemical protein patty.

If you believe this fake meat fad has anything to do with "healthy eating" then you might be a naive redneck.

>>13748275
>Except in Germany? Cuz it's definitely available in Germany
It's definitely not available in Germany. Maybe you're confusing with the plant-based burger that Burger King is releasing in Europe, called 'rebel whooper', which replace the American impossible whooper.

>>13748669
>Worried about (((them)))

>>13748601
Non-autistic people don't dwell on semantics

>>13749422
Tell yourself.

>>13745327
Been eating the burgers a lot now that Costco has them. Underdone they are kind of gross. Cooked thoroughly they taste just like TV dinner Salisbury steak, or any burger from any convenience store.

>>13745327
never had beyond, but I've had the impossible burger.

Not sure if they cooked it right, but it was utter trash. It tasted like fungusy meat that had gone bad.

I actually like veggie burgers though, it's a shame that nobody is going to make a proper veggie burger anymore because of this soimerican slop.
