Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire The, "Impossible Burger"?

I’ve tried it. Not great, not horrible, just kinda ok. Texture is a bit off, flavor is a bit off. Put some trimming on it and it’s fine.

Wouldn’t order one on purpose.

With a side of chips.

You can smell those things cooking on the grill from a block away.


And that's not a good thing.

And the "green" crowd pitches a fit over anything in agriculture that they perceive as GMO!!
What morons!
GMO includes crossbreeding, if you have the most basic understanding.

To answer the original question, no.
And that's only Part One of that story!

If you've ever eaten lunch in a public school cafeteria, you've probably had a pickup truck load of soy burger and other fake meat. It's been around for at least a couple of decades, probably much longer.

I remember them serving (on the QT) horse meat in our high school cafeteria - wasn't bad!

I've tried them, they're ok, not great. MY wife loves them. Our local Burger Kings are so poorly managed, & staffed, that's its a pain to go there. MY wife buys the same FAKE MEAT at Krogers, & cooks them at home. I had to stop that, for me. She can eats what she wants.

Back about 74, it was common to dilute beef burger with soybean meal.

I'm assuming it tastes like plants trying to be meat, but that's an assumption because I refuse to eat such a thing.

We also raise soybeans.

I won't eat that schitt merely out of principle.

I still have a vivid memory of my first Whopper. It was fantastic. I was like eight or nine years old.

I was the last drop off on the school bus home, and in consideration of this, the lady bus driver who I had all year promised me that on the last day of school, she would treat me to a Whopper, since I had never had one. She was good on her promise.

The contentions that beef and other red meat are bad for you are complete bullshit. Food is becoming a divisive political issue, and if you consider the potential implications of that, it's pretty sobering.

Actually, anti-GMO is a right wing phenomenon. And, no, it's not the same as crossbreeding. Not even close. It's Frankenfood, developed in laboratories. It's direct gene manipulation, not crossbreeding or selecting for the best strains.

This.

Like Tesla's.

Is that true?

Because of my religious observance, I'm limited in when and how I can eat meat. So, for me, a fake meat burger often is the equivalent of a bad-for-you fast food meal. I've eaten fake burgers ranging from the inedible to the passable, and not a single one ever reminded me of a real meat burger.

They serve a purpose for many people who, for whatever reason, are limited in how and when they can eat meat, but they sure as heck are NOT meat. Were it not for my particular reasons for eating fake meat, I'd never touch the stuff.

Can you put cheese on a veggie burger?
