Maybe it's just me, but beyond has never tasted close to the original. Impossible does.
The fact that it doesn't taste close to the original and that it commands a price premium is why I ultimately gave up on it. Where I might use beyond, I can usually get a healthier option using ground turkey instead with a much more agreeable flavor and price.
But really, I've just focused on making more meatless dishes in general. Highlighting the flavor of legumes and mushrooms beats trying to fake the flavor of beef.
- jghn 8mo agoNot just you. To me Beyond tastes barely better than the classic fake meat products. Whereas I find impossible actually tastes good.
- ElijahLynn 8mo agoImpossible definitely has more of a "dead cow funk" taste to it. Which is why I actually prefer Beyond Meat, because it tastes better without "that taste". I think it actually is "Beyond" meat, in that sense.
- cogman10 8mo agoThe issue I have is I can definitely taste ingredients and they don't really jive with me. Like, the pea and beat flavors come out pretty strongly to me and gives the patties a sort of funky smell. IMO, this is a much better tasting burger that doesn't try to fake beef flavor (Not vegan) [1] [1] https://www.seriouseats.com/the-best-black-bean-burger-recipe https://www.seriouseats.com/the-best-black-bean-burger-recip...
- cdcarter 8mo agoI don't think beyond tastes that crazy, but I have to jump in to support this bean burger. These guys are the real deal.
- ElijahLynn 8mo agoI'm definitely looking forward to making this been burger, thanks to you both!
- kimos 8mo agoBeyond is not a convincing substitute. I think it’s delicious for processed food and I prefer it to beef by a lot, but it is definitely beany tasting.
