Oppo, I’ve tried two of the Beyond Meat Products. Overall, I’m impressed. Have a weiner-mobile!
First up: burgers.
Taste: not bad. Pretty good, actually. If you are making a patty-on-a-bun burger, you’ll know it’s not beef. If you’re making a bacon cheeseburger, you won’t know the difference. Light years ahead of anything I’ve ever tried, though.
Cooking: impressive. Here’s how much fat rendered in a cast iron pan
They also work great on a grill.
Next up: brats
Taste: fucking impressive. We have a pork free household, and brats are one of the things you just can’t seem to recreate with other meats. I’ve had chicken “brats”, and they taste like chicken with brat seasoning. These things tasted like brats. Smell like brats, too. I was amazed. Only thing missing is the juiciness when you bite in.
Cooking: cooks up great. While I had the lid off the grill to flip the veggies, I had the coals flare up under the brats. Like the burgers, they release a good amount of fat while they cook.
Overall, I g otta say I’m impressed.

Just a notice for the readers: you have to cook a Beyond Burger more than a beef burger. An undercooked Beyond Burger has a weird flaky fish texture.

If you liked the beyond meat burgers give the SOL cuisine Extreme Griller burgers a shot. Personally I like them more than the beyond burgers because of the price and thickness (thinner than the beyond stuff, but that may just be my personal preference). Harvey’s non-lightlife veggie burger is very good as well imo.

how does a pork free household know that a burger with bacon will taste normal?

I really like the Beyond sausages.
Makes our once or twice a week veg meal real easy.
They are expensive though. Nearly double the price of pork sausage for me.

Wife is Jewish, I am not. I eat pork outside the house, so I have a wonderful life full of bacon cheeseburgers. Turkey bacon in this instance will also suffice, as it makes a vegetarian pattie with fake bacon all the more ridiculous.
Point is, the burger needs some accompaniment to mask it’s imperfect flavor. Brat is good right out the gate. Throw on some grilled onions, mustard if you must, and you’d never know.

Im interested to try the rest of the options. It’s true that they are super expensive, especially compared to pork. But my wife is Jewish, so pork is off the table (literally) anyway. So that’s a moot point.
But yeah, it makes a vegetarian meal real easy.

The current generation Beyond Burger is a huge improvement over the original, but still not as good as real beef (if we ignoring the suffering cattle that brought us the real beef). I hear the Impossible is still a lot better than Beyond, but I haven’t tried it. Anyway, here’s a recent roundup: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/22/dining/veggie-burger-taste-test.html
I’ll have to try the sausage. The better plant sausages I’ve had still just taste mostly like potatoes to me.

I haven't seen impossible stuff in stores yet, but would try it if I did. I recommend trying the sausage for sure though. No potatoes in the ingredients if I recall.

Impossible > Beyond
- haven’t tried Beyond
But seriously, the Impossible Burgers I’ve tried are just astounding recreations, from a science experiment point of view.

I haven’t seen impossible in stores that I shop at yet. Happy to try when I do.
But i agree wholeheartedly . The engineering that goes into making one of these taste, smell, and even cook like meat is astonishing. You can show anyone that pan, and vegetables would be the last thing you thought got cooked.

It’s seriously impressive, and the implications are pretty huge. If they get the cost down to be
cheaper than ground beef where many more people would buy it for like half of their annual beef consumption
, the benefit to the planet of far less land being used for beef production could be tremendous.
