Current Events > Do Impossible Whoppers really taste like real beef...

(+) Yeah! (+)

Or is there just so much shit on top of the patty that you don't really taste the meat anyway? I saw a commercial for it and it's like the fake meat is so tiny compared to the stack of veggies on top of it.

I eat burgers with just meat and cheese. I don't know why people ruin it with lettuce tomato onion.

probably some additives they inserted to give it a meat flavor. natural meat my ass...

I haven't tried one yet, I've thought about it, but honestly this concerns me...

Whopper - 660 calories
Impossible Whopper - 630 calories

It tastes like shit just like a whopper does.

Im nearly the same. Meat cheese ketchup and mayo. In a lot of foods less is better to me.

The point of Impossible Meats isn't to be a super healthy alternative. It's to create food that imitates meat perfectly for people that don't want to eat meat because of the ethical quandaries involved.

Also @TC, yes it tastes like real beef.

I ate one the other week with a friend who wanted to try it out. I'd say it tastes pretty close to an actual Whopper. An actual Whopper has its own weird taste though. It's not like you're eating a steak or something. It has that Burger King flavour going on.

Our lord and savior Joe Rogan says it's worse for you.

I ordered one plain to try it out. It doesn't taste like real beef. Not at all.

Why would you expect it to?

Yes, and it concerns me how much the push to move away from destructive meat industry practices involves finding ways to make plants just as unhealthy so people keep getting fatter.

It's like how turkey bacon is a thing but to emulate the taste of pork, they added tons of sodium and ironically it's as bad or worse as the original.

If you haven't had beef in awhile, it's not bad.

If you consume a lot of burgers, it's still not bad, but you'll taste the difference.

People need to be accountable for their own choices. If individuals have no restraint that isn't anyone's fault but themselves. There are fruit, vegetables, and low calorie meals readily available. Not only this but people continuously choose to add increasingly fattening condiments to already high calorie food items.

Eh the real problem is how the sugar industry pushed all the blame to fat when most if it is due to sugar anyways.

It might not taste like meat, but it does taste pretty close to a Whopper

Take that how you will

I'm a damn fool!

While you aren't wrong people are capable of doing their own research. Heck, I even mentioned I haven't touched fast food (aside from chick filet) in about six years. It is easy to avoid unhealthy food.

No. People are not capable of doing their own research. In fact people are horrible at doing their own research and will believe any bullshit that is spouted at them or they can find.

Nope. The commercial shows a real beef patty, too. The real thing looks like cat food.

Each impossible whopper contains the same amount of estrogen that a birth control pill has. Its gross and its horrible for you, so just go with the regular one.

All that you do by posting things like this is expose yourself as a willing gulper of ignorant propaganda. Seek help.

Every time I eat Burger King (usually years apart), I'm disappointed.

My brother said the Whopperito was good, but I never ate mine.
I wish I had tried those cheeto things.

As for this, I've had a veggie burger at BurgerFi (Beyond Burger). This after having a different burger from there earlier. It had a charcoal taste when the meat burger didn't. I could also taste another difference.

Burger King already has that charcoal taste, so I can't imagine it being different.
Note: The other burger I had from BurgerFi was a sirloin burger, not a normal, their normal may also taste of charcoal, idk.

Agreed. Case in point you fell for keto blogger memes.

I did a test with my friends and told them all their whoppers were the impossible burgers and they immediately made faces on how terrible it tasted and all that shit. When I finally showed them the receipt that they were eating the regular whoppers, most of them were just too proud to admit they were wrong. Bottom line is most people can't even fucking tell the difference.

I couldn't tell. They keep giving me burgers past the hold time.

Apparently you can't research at all.

My wife tried the Impossible Whopper and liked it but I can't comment on it directly. I did try the Impossible meat from Q'doba though. The texture wasn't bad but it was absurdly salty and left a weird aftertaste in my mouth with some really gnarly burps.

Apparently Little Caesars has an Impossible Meat pizza, or had one, but I haven't seen it on their menu near me. I'd be curious to see what that tastes like.

---

There is no replacement for meat so no it does not.

---

How much of the actual whopper is beef? I imagine it has tons of filler, so that's why so many people say they taste similar.

---

DuranOfForcena posted...

their real meat already tastes like fake meat though sooooooo

I wouldn't go that far. My problem with Little Caesars is that most of the pizzas I get there taste like they've been sitting for hours, which they probably have since most of what I order from there are Hot & Ready. The toppings are then dried up and overcooked making it taste like cardboard. The few fresh pizzas I've had from there have been fine for the most part.

I tried one, it tasted like crap. Though I still recommend trying it for yourself, you may like it.

No
