any time diets, or fads, or meat subs, or any subs, or modified things, or any weird food related things that modern humans have so much trouble understanding. i respond on these threads because i am absolutely passionate about food education and mis-education. and i am always confused by the confusion. I forget most folks dont grow any of their own food and therefore have no real attachment at all to what makes food good. "The Market" figured out our brains are easy to fool into thinking things are good. |

Vegetarian here, had a impossible burger here in FoCo about a month ago and thought it was disgusting. Had a Kobe burger in Denver 2 weeks ago and it was disgusting. I can’t remember the last time I had meat...now I know why. But moral of the story I wouldn’t be able to discern which one was worse in a blind taste test.

This thread making me hungry.
I did have sous vide pork chop last night at a biz dinner. Oh man, I've never had something done with that prep before. Melted in mouth, almost literally. Soooooo so good. I don't think you can sous vide a beyond meat patty! |

I'm thinking about buying the Joule or Anova so I can sous vide at home.

I've heard it is great but never had something prepared using it, until now. It was so good it was just incredible. Bone-in chop from a farm called Beeler's, and the chop was also smoked.
Here was the menu item. HICKORY SMOKED BEELER’S PORK CHOP PORK SUGO, CARAMELIZED APPLE, MUSTARD OIL, APPLE CIDER JUS Last edited by 54ny77; 04-03-2019 at 10:01 PM. |

Fast food is an indulgence, it was never really truly supposed to replace healthy food. Many vegetarians like meat, they just don't like the ethics of it all. It's horrible for the environment and for the animals in most cases. I love steak, if it grew on trees I'd be eating it right now with bordelaise sauce. I've been eating garden burgers of all sorts for the last 20 years and during that time I wasn't even a vegetarian. I just liked them as a quick easy meal that didn't stink up my kitchen like ground chuck. If I want healthy food I'll make a salad or a stir fry. I think it's great that fast food companies like BK are offering Vegetarian options to people stuck in Airports or Highways with no other options. Will I seek out an impossible burger for dinner? Probably not, but I like having that option out there if I want a burger.

The impossible burger doesn't really seem like it's for vegetarians, because most vegetarians (I am one) have lost the taste for meat. If you eat meat, you think the burger is all about the meat and when I ate meat I couldn't imagine eating a burger without it. But now that I'm one of these obnoxious vegetarians, I'm perfectly happy eating a half way decent veggie burger because to me the burger is tomato, the lettuce, the cheese, the bun, etc. There's no way I want a burger that's more like actual meat. I'll stick with black beans, thanks.
Some veggie protein is heavily processed for sure, but I want to defend fake stuff in general. A lot of great stuff is fake. Led Zeppelin is fake blues. A bicycle is a fake horse. Some great things start off as bad approximations of something else, and then are justly appreciated for being truly new developments. |

Impossible/Beyond/BK is junk food - it ain't healthy, per se. Arguing all vegetarian options are supposed to be healthy by virtue of them being meat-free is foolishness. Ever been to the average restaurant as a vegetarian? It mostly sucks. I've eaten a few Beyond Burgers at A&W after a long hike or when I'm hung over. It's satisfying in approximately the way meat is but without the moral weight. I wouldn't eat too many of them but I appreciate fast food chains providing the option. KJ EDIT - not calling out the quoted poster; valid points but I think junk food has its place in some cases Last edited by xnetter; 04-29-2019 at 11:25 PM. |
