What if they found a way to exactly imitate the taste and texture of meat using vegetables but the only meat they could imitate was human meat. Would you still eat it?

Burger King has a new whopper on their menu, item #5 to be exact.
It is a vegan whopper. I tried it yesterday and I must say for a meatless burger it is one of the better ones but I can tell it isn’t real meat. A lot of people have claimed it tastes exactly like a real whopper and that’s bogus, I can easily tell the difference.
Not bad though. I still prefer the meat whopper.
I want to try this so bad, sadly where I live this isn't a thing yet, anyway fingers crossed.

i've eaten plain turkey sandwiches that tastes better than a whopper
can't say anything about the impossible whopper
hell, though
a double cheeseburger is a lower tier burger and i think it's way better than a whopper
smash burger and shake shack are true shit and would take over as the standard if i could change things

I'm pretty sure this is the same vegan patty we serve at work, and I thought they were terrible. The fat content on them was super surprising, I didn't think a vegan patty would be that high.
It definitely didn't taste like meat, not any meat that I've ever had.

Apparently it’s no healthier than a regular beef patty. And super processed of course. If you don’t wanna eat meat sounds like a good substitute, but if you are eating it as a healthy alternative, you’re outta luck.

I liked it so much that I was questioning myself rather or not I had been served a regular whopper.

Sounds good, but it's cooked in the same broilers as the normal meat, so isnt actually vegetarian/vegan since the animals fats and residues will soak into it, which kind of defeats the point.

Supposedly you can ask for it to be cooked separate and they WILL do it.
But fuck that, I don't wanna make some fast food worker's job more of a hassle. Especially not during a lunch rush. Simple modifications are fine "no onions, add jalapeno, e.t.c." but something like that naw.
Burger king hasn't made my nips hard in a long time. Don't know about anyone else but for the last 5 or 6 years all of the burger King's I stop at either for a sausage and egg croissant, or a whopper meal when I'm done eating all I think is "well. That wasn't worth it". I don't hate Burger King but it might as well just eat cardboard for lunch instead.
I'd take Wendy's over bk any day of the week for a fast food burger. Frisch's used to be my favorite but god damn their patties on the big boy is like paper thin and if I get a big boy, onions rings and cherry coke it's like almost 13 bucks.

I haven't had an Impossible Whopper yet, but I have had Beyond Meat burgers, and I'll say this... I'm happy to go meatless if those burgers become more commonplace.
It doesn't taste exactly like conventional meat, but (at least at A&W) it tastes good. And it has a healthy amount of protein. Those are really the only two major marks it needs to hit, I'd say. You can avoid some of the drawbacks of meat without feeling like you have to eat tofu for the rest of your life.

pretty much spot on with my thoughts. i dont buy them for health reasons, i suppose ethical reasons or just the desire to eat less meat would be my goal.
beyond meat burgers are tasty and i like being able to buy them at the store to bbq them up on my own
i've tried the original Impossible burger at Ram, it was meh. supposedly the 2.0 is much, much better. i'm not sure which one BK is using for their whopper

I actually haven’t tried any of the Beyond Meat product. I must admit those taco crumbles in the frozen section are looking pretty damn good in the bag.
For the Impossible BK Whopper, I’m fine with it being prepped on the same stove as the original beef whopper. Soak up that smoky, charbroiled juice... gon brang it here.

I hope they bring that to Germany soon..
I had the Beyond Burger a few weeks ago, and didn't like it that much.
Hopefully the impossible burger is the real deal..

Because a bread bun with something hot in the middle is all you need to be classed as a 'burger' (hence why every meat burger that isnt a plain beef Hamburger exists) and there's thousands of delicious ways of making one without using meat.
Not your cup of tea, fine, but dont be retarded about it.

Does it have vegan mayo too?
