Talking about impossible and beyond meat, of course. I like their taste, so I’m not one of those burger fash who complains about not being able to taste the flesh wounds of their victims. Just need the skinny on how it compares in terms of it’s nutrient quality, health factors in terms of contaminants in production or as a result of (PFAS, lead), and the impact on the environment. I’m sure the production of fake borg is better than maintaining and slaughtering cows, but relative to other foods how much better is it?

Really prefer if they'd actually commit to the bit of making veggie burgers their own distinct thing instead of chasing after the American burger experience. Like just imagine the rich flavor if they made the patty with dry sauted mushrooms, minced onions, garlic, carrots, celery, and whatever binders they use to help keep its form. And drizzle on top a nice spiced curry gravy made Kerisik style. And finish it off with some deep fried onion rings on the top and bottom of the patty for that nice crunch before you put them on the buns.

Seconded, veggie burgers are plenty good in their own right if we had any imagination, could open up a whole world of sandwiches.

Yeah like a well seasoned veggie burger with some of the texture tech from impossible/beyond would be awesome.
