Un F-ing believable, closest thing to meat I've eaten

[Arthur_Frain]

25. This whole "tastes like meat" thing is interesting.

I’ve wandered the road between carnivore and vegan for the last 40 plus years, still looking for the place where I belong.

Maybe when I first started I was trying to emulate the meat flavor, or umami. Boca burgers were great for that, tasted like a greasy char broiler at its best.

The original Garden Burger and their first few iterations were bona fide. You could eat a “burger” with everyone else, but it didn’t taste anything like a real hamburger. Properly prepared, they were incredible.

So these “impossible” burgers taste like meat to me, I’ve eaten one or two, but I’d really rather have the old garden burger varieties. But they don’t carry them where I am.

How does one tell if an impossible burger has “gone over”? I haven’t made my peace with this one yet.
