You see Nestle working hard, jumping in to capture some of that amazing market value of these new meatless burger brands?
https://www.cnbc.com/2019/06/03/nestle-gears-up-to-launch-its-own-plant-based-burger-in-the-us.html

Anyway, do you eat meatless burgers or nah?

maybe i will try the impossible burger but the beyond burger left me not wanting to try it again.

i think i would rather have no meat than these meatless meats lol

realistically i will just be eating less meat than trying to substitute it.

though far better than the long available cardboard tasting brands, but their sausages...shieeeeeet!
Aside from the price, just as good if not better than any of those brats Johnsonville/HillshireFarm/OscarMeyer makes, with all the heart health and minus the mystery pig/cow parts.

meaning sometimes when im at the grocery store ill remember when im near the brats. i dont see them there so i keep it moving. where would they typically be? are they widely available?

we finally got a whole foods a couple years back but its on the other side of town.

we do have sprouts near me, they probably would have it but i never go there. is it usually side to sides with real meat or in special sections?

They really try to get you at every angle lol
But it sells out quickly....
We usually grocery shop early in the day...on days we don't get in early, it's sold out usually.

I've bought them in Giant/Safeway/HarrisTeeter/JewelOsco, all the grocery stores with unionized employees.

I always find them in meat cases, sometimes in a frozen section, but not really in the vegetarian foods sections.

Making your own stuff from scratch is still the best approach to a healthier you IMO....

"Increased availability and consumption of ultra-processed foods have been associated with rising obesity prevalence, but scientists have not yet demonstrated that ultra-processed food causes obesity or adverse health outcomes. Researchers at the NIH investigated whether people ate more calories when exposed to a diet composed of ultra-processed foods compared with a diet composed of unprocessed foods. Despite the ultra-processed and unprocessed diets being matched for daily presented calories, sugar, fat, fiber, and macronutrients, people consumed more calories when exposed to the ultra-processed diet as compared to the unprocessed diet. Furthermore, people gained weight on the ultra-processed diet and lost weight on the unprocessed diet. Limiting consumption of ultra-processed food may be an effective strategy for obesity prevention and treatment."

Folks hate when I say it by a stand by it.

If you are trying to eat healthier or eat leads meat why the hell you eating fake meat?

meat shouldn’t be this strong

but processed meatless burger is certainly healthier than a standard processed burger from an average fast food place.

existence...
I mean it COULD...but you'd have to really work hard to pack in everything you need for appropriate balance.
The patty format is both for aesthetic and convenience really....it's more than just eating a fake burger. That's why I like the term patty. but really it's all semantics. Burger don't gotta be meat at all.
To get a dense and robust serving of protein for instance, you'd have to eat a helluva lot of beans...which generally isn't as enjoyable to consume vs. making those beans into a patty format along with other ingredients for both taste and nutritional value.
I guess you could think of it as just another form of a salad?? lol..

No one's beating them yet, in terms of indistinguishable flavor and texture.

It was more "mushy" than the Beyond Burger if I recall correctly..
I just remember not liking it enough to go seek it out...
Vs. the Beyond Burger which we'll buy and cook at least 1/month. At $5.99 for a double pack though...it's not a sustainable thing to be buying on the regular.

I had a horrible one at Farmers and Distillers a while back, if that was my first taste, I'd have never tried another. But everywhere else I've had them they've been excellent, even at White Castle.

trying to do a meatless June, I got their famous star with the beyond "patty" this past weekend

that thing tasted EXACTLY like those government subsidy soyburgers they used to try and foist on us for school lunch back in the 80s (read: horrible)

that's what I get for ordering/paying for it, but eff them anyway for that abomination

Buyer Beware

away from meat towards something like this.

Eventually the price point is going to get to the point where it makes too much sense. The amount of meat they go through in a year, combined with the fact that they don't really NEED good quality meat is going to cause someone to eventually do it. My money's on Taco Bell.

that meatless burgers not be burgers, or called burgers, is so odd to me.

Is it a result of, or just push-back against, PETA zealots?

I never understood any of this. If you want to eat meat then just do so. To me it’s a bunch of conflicted vegetarians and/or vegans that can’t make a decision on what they want to do. That stuff is about as unhealthy as regular meat.

Do you not also eat vegetables?
Vegetarians aren't the only people who eat meatless meals, you weirdo.
& we live in America, where Cheeseburgers and BBQs are traditional and cultural.
It only makes sense there are meatless versions of normally meaty foods.
You'd prefer someone at a cookout to eat a plain hot-dog bun with mustard, or a cheeseburger minus the burger? Just because their Doctor said no beef or pork, they should eat nothing or be totally different and have a special meal of tofu tabbouleh and hummas spattered on their plate?
Stop being ridiculous.

What difference does it make where you live, and who says that you have to follow tradition? It doesn’t make sense nor are meatless alternatives healthy for the body. I have no preference what another person eats. If a person wants meat to meat substitutes then they can have ate. I thought that the going vegan/vegetarian was for better health? That means giving up meat (all forms). You care a bit too much.

Meatless alternatives are in fact "healthy for the body."

& I "care a bit too much", while you're complaining about what a meatless patty is called or its physical shape?

Eat some vegetables and drink some water, expand your simple mind.

You eat a cow but call it a "burger" or "steak"

Why not just get the whole cow leg and call it cow? Why formulate it into a patty and call it "burger"? Why the passive aggressiveness? Scared to call it what it is? What is this "ham" talk? It's a pig sammich bruh.

^But you'll say that sounds ridiculous, because you've been trained to think a certain way.

Morningstar Farms Grillers are my 2nd fave. I hate Boca burgers. Dunno if I've ever had a Beyond burger. But chea I order Impossible Burger any time it's on a menu.

Farms burgers seem like struggle..
Trust me...try it.
Bocca is the OG...but they are slipping in quality and taste..
Impossible Burger is soy based I just found out...maybe that's why there's a consistency issue that I noted when I had it...

Not quite like real sausage, but surprisingly tasty for what they are. I use 'em as a way to cut calories vs. the real thing.

I'm eager to try them.

although I did like the Beyond burger. I had it at Carl's Jr. and then also a buddy grilled one on charcoal -- both were solid.

I like the flavor, texture and look of the Impossible burger better though. Would eat both but if given a choice I'd go Impossible

It left a weird after taste. I haven't had a beef burger in nearly 20 years but I highly doubt it "tastes like the real thing." Meh. I really hate the hype around it, especially because it's a GMO product that heavily relies on lab-made ingredients. And the obsession over its ability to "bleed" is so weird and unnecessary. Americans are so... I don't know, man.

To me, some of the best veggie burgers are the patties made akin to the J. Alexander's/Hillstone/Houston's veggie burger. NYTimes and SeriousEats wrote about 'em back in 2011.

https://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/23/dining/23meatless.html

https://newyork.seriouseats.com/2011/04/lunch-for-one-hillstone-veggie-burger-gramercy-review.html

I do have some issues with the NYTimes article ("Some new veggie burgers are so authentic that they've been mistaken for meat" -Uh, nope!) but it's cool that a burger made from real food got some national attention. My attempts to remake it at home always fail. J. Alexanders or Hillstone's should manufacturer their veggie burgers as a frozen product. That would be be real moneymaker.

There are quite a few frozen burger options on the market that were not around in the early 2000s whent I went veg: Engine No. 9, Hilary's, Beyond Burger, Sweet Earth, Uptown, Field Roast, new Trader Joe's products.

Low-key, I like Field Roast sausages so the burger patties are likely good, too. I try to limit the frozen veggie burgers because these products aren't really healthy despite being plant-based...

I never tried Gardein's burgers but I decided to stay away from that brand after eating their imitation fish product against my better judgment.

I don't like Boca, Dr. Praegar or Morningstar products, which have been around for a while. Now, I like the Gardenburger at restaurants, but I don't buy them for the crib because they contain GMOs. ;-(

Edited to add: I like some of Amy's veggie burgers. They make quite a few:
https://www.amys.com/our-foods?onthemenu=veggie-burgers&items=24
I usually buy the California version.

I like when they taste better than that. Best one I ever had was at Ruby Tuesday like 15 years ago or so. I don't even know if Ruby Tuesday still sells them, but that thing was fire.
