Impossible burgers are the flip side... they don't taste like beef, but man, the texture is spot on and good enough to fool my tongue.
Beyond has a weird, kind of nutty, aftertaste I don't care for, not so with Impossible.
I can’t really taste the difference between beef and impossible burger IF the burger is a cm or so thick. If you tried to make a restaurant burger (2-3cm thick, rare/med rare) I think the difference would be pretty noticeable. It’s good in ground beef recipes, too (like pasta sauce or stuffed squash). I’m so happy this alternative is available. Big fan! It’s not that much more than beef I think? I dunno it all seems pretty cheap compared to fish/coffee/beer/wine.
The only real drawback is the sodium content:

One persons drawback is another persons “salt of life” haha. Yea they aren’t healthy, that’s for sure. Tasty though!
Idk I had an Impossible Whopper at BK when they first started doing them, and I couldn't yell the difference.
