I had a Beyond Meat burger last night

I cooked it on the grill and I have to admit, it tasted remarkably like the real McCoy, as my dad would say. Both the texture and flavor were darn close to burger meat. It was pretty firm and it reminded me of an over cooked hamburger. On a bun with mayo, catchup, and cheese, I doubt you could tell it was fake. I'm sold. (I bought some stock in the company and figured I needed to sample what they made!) I was not disappointed.

Has anyone else tried it?

... plus the Beyond Burgers... I really like them, especially the Beyond Bratwurst. The burger gave my friend indigestion, though.

that might be a winner with my vegan group member. Snort with mustard and kraut would anyone know?

We buy them from time to time for Meatless Mondays. Really tasty. Just like the real thing.

I’ve also tried Impossible. Also really good.

If you want something to taste good load it up with salt, fat or sugar...

I haven't been able to get past that yet.

I tried those morning star farms grillers, pretty good.

Their buffalo "chicken" patties are outstanding.
