| The Impossible Burger! |
We wanted to know what it tastes like, this new vegetarian burger that is supposed to blow up the
entire food industry (one of these days). So much publicity for a meat-like patty that's made from water, soy-protein concentrate, coconut oil, and bits and bobs of potato protein, methylcellulose, yeast extract, cultured dextrose, modified food starch, soy leghemoglobin, salt, and soy-protein isolate. What's that about ingredients you never heard of? About eating things your grandmother never heard of?

We bought a Burger King Impossible Whopper and an ordinary Whopper.
We each ate half of each one. They look & smell the same.
The beef Whopper's paper was greasier. |
 |
The taste is virtually identical. They both need catsup.
I ate mine in alternate bites. Really alike. |
 |
| So new that they don't appear on the lighted placards above the cash registers! |
Thanks for the report!
ReplyDeleteNot a fastfood fan, but that 100% beef burger sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Angie. Not a fastfood fan, but if I were to eat at a Burger King, it would need to be 100% beef. Don't like to eat something I can't pronounce or I don't know what it is. :)
ReplyDeleteFascinating! I wonder if we'll get it here in Australia?
ReplyDeleteAre they the same price? Interesting!
ReplyDeleteLately, this is something that has been bothering me as a long time vegetarian, the long list of crazy ingredients. I am struggling with decisions on this really, and feel like I am being more drawn away from vegetarianism, but not to meat that has grown up on a factory farm either. I am trying to find local, humanely raised, organic meats for my family lately, and for myself as well.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, the Impossible Burger did taste really good. LOL.
Can't believe they taste identical. Not sure which is healthier to eat the red meat or the vegetables and chemicals.. Thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteGlad you tried them. I actually hate Burger King -- can't even stand their french fries. However, I've been know to stop at other fast food when on car trips.
ReplyDeleteI have been wondering about these although I can't remember the last time I ate at Burger King. I may have to check and see if they have them (the burgers) here and give them a try too. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI don't eat factory meat with hormones, etc. or meat substitutes. Processed food has too much in it that is questionable or just plain bad for your health.
ReplyDeleteMy son and his wife go to a restaurant in Queens that serves a similar burger and they like it a lot.
