I really enjoy BM’s burger personally. Taste is good but the real kicker is the texture and how it really has some body to it. What’s the consensus on them?

I personally think the flavour is off but the texture is good, I personally prefer impossible burger

Impossible taste is nearly a replica of beef. And when you surround it in burger toppings, it could trick me

It’s not a replica. Have you people ever tried proper burgers at all?

I’ve only had the Impossible Whopper, but I thought it was way too salty. Is it like that when you buy it in the store too?

The impossible whoppers are too thin and dry. Store ones are more like a normal 1/4 patty

I always put only pepper on my burgers so I didn’t notice

I don’t think I’ve seen them around yet in my country, I’ll have a look around to see if I can get them to try

I’ve had them before. The flavor is a bit different and the texture is a little softer, but it’s pretty close. All in all, they taste very good and they’re filling like a normal burger; albeit a little expensive compared to meat.

There was a period in 2020 and into 2021 beyond meat was cheaper than ground beef.

I am a vegetarian and do my best to avoid meat replacements, but I do miss meat balls and meatloaf. Beyond meat works well for both of those.

They are better now that they are not salty. For like a year they loaded them with a ton of salt.

Better than most fake burger patties but still a big ways back from Impossible

More preservatives than a McDonald’s Happy Meal. No thanks.
