I’ve been a vegetarian for a long time and beyond meat/impossible meat aren’t my favorite flavor or texture. I still opt for the older substitutes like Morningstar (kellogg) and Gardein (conagra) when I need a substitute for a cookout or something. I know they were hoping to market to people who eat meat though so maybe this anecdote is irrelevant. I wonder if impossible, which is private, is similarly losing money.
I actually really love beyond meat burgers and added as a ground beef substitute. I found that if the patties are charred the blackened char is like a brand new spice. Can’t really compare it to anything and I love it.
I’ll try that next time I have one! Do you like impossible too? I’m not an excellent cook so maybe the ones I mentioned are just more fool proof to cook.
I’m not as big of a fan of impossible, but it’s been a while since I’ve tried it. I know Beyond Meat has gotten better over time. I’d be willing to try it again but it doesn’t seem to be as available where I live.
Beyond meat and impossible are also twice the cost. The morningstar patties and franks are quite good. So is boca.
dang i just had some of their nuggets for the first time today and thought they were really good
My family overwhelming prefers impossible burger meat over Beyond to the point that they will just ask for something else if I get Beyond. Totally anecdotal info, but if you charge as much as they do, you need to be actually tasty. I also agree with many of the comments that prefer the much older black bean style substitutes like Morningstar, but my family doesn’t love them.
I don’t like Beyond and have only met one or two people who do, but aside from the taste problem they are expensive. Meat alternatives need to be a fraction of the price of meat, but instead they are treated as luxury bourgeois foodstuff. We need to do better.
