Impossible is definitely better tasting, but I'm happy to see Taco Bell is included in this deal (though not in the headline here on HN). I haven't been there since they got rid of potatoes, so having a vegan option would make my taco consumption during lunch break skyrocket.
- jfengel 6y agoTaco meat [EDIT: in Taco Bell's usage] is a perfect application, since its texture is already squishy and the flavor is dominated by spice. Plus, it's wrapped in a shell and mixed with lettuce and other things. Even a mediocre fake meat is enough to pass. Beyond Meat should have no trouble producing a virtually-indistinguishable taco meat.
- whalesalad 6y agoDel Taco already has a Beyond Meat taco and it tastes like shit.
- jonwachob91 6y agoToo be fair though... Everything at Del Taco tastes really bad. :)

- redisman 6y agoWell yeah but this is a Taco Bell thread haha
- RandallBrown 6y agoJack In The Box has been using textured vegetable protein instead of meat forever. Most people don't even realize it's not meat.
- whalesalad 6y ago2 for $1 Jack tacos are absolutely phenomenal for the price.
- Alupis 6y ago> Most people don't even realize it's not meat. Except that it is indeed meat. It contains a Soy filler in addition to the meat, but it is meat. Straight from the Jack's mouth[1]: Taco, Regular Filling Ingredients: Beef, Chicken, Water, Textured Vegetable Protein (Soy Flour, Caramel Color), Defatted Soy Grits, Seasoning... etc [1] http://assets.jackinthebox.com/pdf_attachment_settings/108/value/Ingredients_and_Allergens.pdf http://assets.jackinthebox.com/pdf_attachment_settings/108/v...
- mrbuttons454 6y agoThey are bringing the potatoes back.
- dleslie 6y agoSadly, Impossible is basically unavailable where I live; but Beyond is.
