reallykindasorta comments on Beyond Meat Fights for Survival

[–] reallykindasorta@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I’ve been a vegetarian for a long time and beyond meat/impossible meat aren’t my favorite flavor or texture. I still opt for the older substitutes like Morningstar (kellogg) and Gardein (conagra) when I need a substitute for a cookout or something. I know they were hoping to market to people who eat meat though so maybe this anecdote is irrelevant. I wonder if impossible, which is private, is similarly losing money.

I actually really love beyond meat burgers and added as a ground beef substitute. I found that if the patties are charred the blackened char is like a brand new spice. Can't really compare it to anything and I love it.

I’ll try that next time I have one! Do you like impossible too? I’m not an excellent cook so maybe the ones I mentioned are just more fool proof to cook.

I'm not as big of a fan of impossible, but it's been a while since I've tried it. I know Beyond Meat has gotten better over time. I'd be willing to try it again but it doesn't seem to be as available where I live.

Morningstar sausages are pretty solid. But good Lord, the bacon looks like construction paper.

Honestly, what I'm really hoping for is clean meat, labgrown. It should curb deforestation, reduce the environmental strain, and help wolves curb CWD in deer populations.
