I have never tried Beyond Meat and maybe I should give it a try but I am hesitant because of my experience with Impossible burgers. Obviously they must taste similar to meat and be tasty to the majority of people, but to me they taste nothing like meat and are quite disgusting. I know a few others that have the same reaction while most people at worse seem to think they taste like a low quality burger. I wonder what is in them that causes some like myself to have such a negative reaction to them and how large that percentage of people is.
Impossible burger tastes like it is engineered. It isn’t terrible but in San Francisco, it isn’t any less expensive at a typical non-chain burger joint. I also had digestive issues, though I have only had it once so I can’t claim it was the IB.
Veggie burgers just seem like a healthier, more delicious option, and a known quantity if I want to skip the beef.
