Title: Another non-answer to another question nobody asked
Post by: Hawkmoon on January 14, 2017, 03:07:47 PM
California (where else?) scientist creates a veggie burger that [almost] tastes like a ... burger.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/13/business/veggie-burger-impossible-burger.html

But not quite.

Quote
Perhaps Mr. Motz will revisit the Impossible Burger in the future. For now, he is sticking with ground beef.

“I’m proud of the fact that they have gone and made the veggie burger for the proletariat,” he said. “But any carnivore will take one bite of this burger and know it’s fake.”

With that, Mr. Motz left Momofuku Nishi. His destination: a nearby food truck, where he ordered a real cheeseburger.

If you don't look at veggie burgers as replacements for the real thing, they are enjoyable.  I'll have one as a change of pace or when they're something different (ie not gardenburgers).  At one "design your own burger" place, I got a double patty burger with one vegan patty and one beef patty. :D

The vegan patty was quite tasty.

Instructions for preparing non-meat burgers:

1.  Throw them in the trash. [barf]

Every veggie burger I tried with flavor had so much palm oil in it that it was less healthy than a big mac

I've never had a veggie burger that was good enough that I would order it if a real burger was available. Admittedly, I haven't tried that many, but I'm an unrepentant carnivore anyway and I've never had much faith in foods where I cannot immediately recognize the main ingredients (this goes for most forms of mystery meat, including meat loaf, as well as vegetable whatever)

I prefer vegetable based foods myself.
Cows eat grass and corn ergo they are vegetable based.

Thanks, Herohog. ;)

What's the difference between a veggie burger and a MacDonalds patty, other than theMD's patty (we're told) came from an animal?

In college I once ordered a black bean burger at a brew pub.  I was massively disappointed when I discovered it was a patty made from black beans, not a burger with a bunch of black beans piled on top of the meat.  It actually was pretty tasty, but the shock of realizing what I'd done took a bit of time to recover from.  And no, I didn't send it back.  I screwed up, knew it, and ate it like a man.  I also gave a reasonable tip.

Chili's had a Black Bean Bandito Burger that was really good.  It was a veggie burger patty topped with beans, cheese, and avocado, IIRC.

I figure as long as we have four canine teeth (cuspids) and four/eight  almost-canine teeth (bicuspids), the good Lord intended us to tear bleeding meat off dead animals with those G-d-given teeth and then mash that dead animal into a red paste with our molars.

And as long as we can burn charcoal and other things to sear that dead animal we should cook it first.

But not too much.

That's the way I figure.

You misunderstand.

Tarantulas like the taste of chicken.
