I've been eating the Beyond Meat (pea protein) burger from A&W for a while now. It's pretty damn close to the taste of beef, I'm happy to make the switch. It has an aftertaste that some might describe as metallic, but you really have to look for it, it's not that strong. What shocked me was how much the taste of a burger comes down to texture. There's enough toppings on burgers that you don't really get the beef taste anyways, the patty is really just there for texture!

That metallic aftertaste is the only thing I found disagreeable about the Impossible Burger I tried recently. The texture wasn't exactly right, either, but it was not objectionable. Also, if you cannot really taste the beef, you're eating crappy burgers :). My #1 trick for making an inexpensive burger palatable is to get it as a double, just to try and get enough meat for the flavor to come through.

  Impossible meat did release a 2.0 version to their patties, I didn't get a metallic aftertaste.

  Blood has a metallic aftertaste... did they overdo hemoglobin, maybe?
