Food The (not so) delicious food thread

One of them was pretty good (Impossible?), but the other left a HORRIBLE aftertaste in my mouth (Beyond?).
We're you in a fast food restaurant? I've been wondering how one from a nicer restaurant would taste.

I like the AB in the GB
That's where I've had it. It tastes just how I remember a Whopper tasting. I enjoyed the beyond from Burgerfi better. It tastes less like meat which I like about it. It still tastes like a fast food burger though.
They must see your area as a harder place to convert, because all the artificial burgers here are way more expensive than the “real” beef ones. That’s pretty much the only reason I haven’t tried one yet.
We already have a bunch of vegan/vegetarian stuff here. Also BK's aren't as dense as other fast food places here. There's some, but places like Wendy's or McDonalds may have locations a mile or 2 apart where BK might have one for each major section of the city and none on the rich side of town.
I’m sure you have plenty of vegan stuff etc but you know capitalism. If they knew it would sell well, it would be expensive, like here. Every fast food joint has Impossible or whatnot but they’re more than its beef burger originator.
Some of it has to be sunk in R&D. Probably took a lot of work (and who knows how many chemical carcinogens) to make some leaves seem like kind of a meat thingy.
If it takes off, cool.
I still say they should just concentrate on just making it good tasting food instead of "it's just like meat!".
Cliffs - GMO yeast with a soybean gene injected for that meaty texture. Yuum.
Impossible Burger: Here's What Exactly Makes It Look and Taste Like Meat
The science behind the impossible.
R&D is probably pretty cheap on the things compared to everything else... there's facilities, equipment, people, ingredient sourcing, supply chain related stuff... and right now I'd say even at the high prices they're charging at fast food places, they're still taking a loss at their current sales volume.
It's a gamble. They're trying hard to get out there and get their product everywhere, so people can try it. Maybe it'll catch on and they'll be successful companies, maybe they'll go kaput and we'll be all back to plain 'ol beef burgers.
Personally I'm expecting Impossible/Beyond Meat to go tits up in a couple of years, get bought for pennies on the dollar by Kraft/PepsiCo/whoever, then get made in high volume for a lower price and that's when they'll catch on proper.

That's when you get corporate lobbyists buying government pissants on the cheap to write the legal definitions of what "meatless" is.
That's what they do with "free range" now. One chicken per cage isn't free range, but six chickens in a fence no bigger than if you set six single-chicken cages next to each other is, because they don't have a wall between them.
They mean the chickens have "free range" to sex now. Their peckers haven't evolved to reach through the cage walls so 6 to a cell is truly a kindness.
