Has anyone here tried this shit...

Has anyone here tried this shit? Apparently my grocery store gets stocked with them this week and I'm thinking of picking up a pack

No i'm not gay

It did not taste like a real burger at all.

I haven't seen that anywhere around here. You should buy a package just to see what it's like and post a review here.

How about don't try to fix shit that isn't broken

that's a bummer I've seen some rave reviews

yeah I think I'll give it a shot and report back

Vegan stuff is usually healthier.. I'll stick to my usual brand.

My mum used to always buy quorn mince and make cottage pie with it and I'd eat it and say it's great but then she'd get all smug and happy saying OHH IT'S NOT REAL MEAT IT'S GOOD THOUGH YOU COULDN'T TELL RIGHT like she concocted the recipe herself and I'd have to tell her I knew it was fake mince obviously and it was actually disgusting. People need knocking down a peg sometimes

What the hell were you expecting?

It tastes like wheat and potato and is oily as fuck. The best part is they claim to be a "plant" patty yet it contains beef blood.

Its fucking disgusting and people think this is the future since we, "cannot sustain the planet on meat for much longer".

Do you really believe it contains beef blood?

Well, when they're marketing it as a meat replacement, you'd expect it to taste somewhat like a real burger. It just did not at all. The "raw" form was fairly convincing at imitating raw beef though.

Meaty, but not like a burger. Sort of like a cake made of compressed bacon bits. Potted meat fans will like it. The tartare is really good, maybe better than when cooked. I like them, but they're grossly overpriced.

okay, that's a fair line of logic, but did you also consider that anybody who would actually purchase these things outside of morbid curiosity knows what meat tastes like at this point?
Or that even the makers might not know?

One of the aims of the company is to make a meat substitute that will convert omnivores to switching to their burger patties. They have been touting that in the press. So they have to a very clear idea of how a beef patty tastes like if they wanted to convince omnivores to eat their burgers.

>One of the aims of the company is to make a meat substitute that will convert omnivores to switching to their burger patties

That's every vegan food company's aim, and time and again they end up baffled when their entire repeat customer base consists of vegans.

I work as a sales rep for Quorn
AMA

did you make this thread you filthy shill?

what's the best one? tried the chicken cutlets and thought it tasted like nothing with a hint of chicken broth also was put off by spongeyness

>No. I am not gay.
Try using english correctly.

Give them a shot and then post a thread about your experience. I really like the idea of bioengineered (e.g. 3rd printed strands of biocultures) or plant based alternatives to slaughtering animals. Hopefully they will be cheaper and tastier than the real thing.

no faggit
I enjoy the pesto Mozzarella cutlets, also I make the nuggets and toss them in buffalo sauce.

>english
nah, thou art not Homosexual.

They leave an odd aftertaste that is a bit unpleasant. Needs condiments to end that.

Don't be a faggot. If you must have a veggie burger just buy some portobello mushrooms and toss that shit on a bun.

Its shit just like the impossible burger it will make you constipated

I like putting veggie patties with real patties
Am I the only one?

I dont understand the hate. I'd try it but I wouldnt go in to it comparing it to a beef burger. Who knows might make a good sammich
