Beyond Meat/Impossible Burger

[TNKen]

no, it doesn’t cook “great” imo because freezing changes the cells of meat. Fresh meat >>> frozen meat. But if this garbage hyper processed animal protein substitute ends up cheaper than meat it’s got things going for it - like freezing better

My God man!!! You have deciphered the previously unknown common denominator in the ice age. The ice age froze all the available meat, forcing the population of cave men and dinosaurs to eat and thus die from genetically mutated meat. Pure genius!

I ate the Carls Jr version and bought the same in patty form at the grocery store. The former was way better but doubtful I'll get another. The biggest problem with the latter -- as it cooks it smells like dog or cat food, so if anybody else is gonna do a comparison I recommend cooking it outdoors.

Guaranteed there are no people who make great burgers that are also saying the fake burgers taste great.

Yeah, I scratch my head watching the BK commercials. I don't think they thought their point thru too well.

Them saying it: "Buy this cuz it tastes just like a Whopper."

Me hearing it: "If it tastes like a Whopper, I'm never again gonna buy a Whopper (nor go to BK)."

All this hoopla - figured I'd see what it's about - I just tried one. From what I can remember of Whoppers, it does indeed taste like one. Also makes you feel like you ate one. One and done. Won't say I regret it but sort of...yeah.

I would give Impossible meats another whirl but from a proper restaurant - this BK version is the only thing available in my region. More curious about it than thinking this is for me.

i'm not one and never will be a vegetarian, but this old trope of judging masculinity by what car they drive, how many guns they own, or what they eat is dumb boomer talk that makes you sound old and out of touch.

That’s the point.

i hope one day Scotty b can get the help he needs

- said most guys stuck in a grocery store with their wife and she asks “what should we eat for dinner?” How about a bullet?

lol, been there. And whatever I say will get overridden anyway. Same goes for going out.

But I fucking love eating.

no different than dog food or lays chips - neutral “Base” with added flavors aka salt

My friend's dad, who's a retired chemist for the food industry says that about pretty much all fast-food restaurants, and the freezer section of the grocery store.

I don't even have to read that link, I worked for a number of years in close contact with the meat and poultry industry. Don't buy ground beef out of one of those tubes. Just don't do it. I don't expect many here would.

What you should do is buy ground beef that was ground in the store or grind your own. Failing that, and I do, try to limit your burgers and any ground products as much as possible, and go for the less-sketchy as much as possible. Never mind the hot/crazy matrix, it's the hungry/sketchy matrix that matters.

Pooh's Pub was the first bar in Boston that believed we were old enough to drink, so we spent a lot of time there, They had a sign over the bar that said,

If You Think My Woman Is Married I'll Bet You Are Dumb

Right?

That's the best I could think up quickly

If You Tell Me What It Means I'll Buy You a Drink

I already told you once.

This is why it was fun at the bar. Some guy: The fuck does that shit mean? Me: If you tell me what it means I'll buy you a drink.

hilarity ensued.

But you can't hate on that strong effort.

Oh I saw what your wrote. It's just fun to try and fill out acronyms and initialisms. I had one for riser's post but it wasn't crotchety enough to fit
