I think their burgers are better than about 90% of burgers I’ve had. The sausages are really good too.

The only time I've seen beyond meat in real life was on a night shift in the ICU, a vegetarian nurse I worked with ordered takeout from I think A&W and vomited immediately after eating it. Maybe she doesn't like meat texture who knows.

Beyond definitely fails the ground beef verisimilitude test in burgers

But if you stop thinking of it as fake ground beef and think of it as seasoned protein it’s not bad. Kind of works if you think of it more like a meatloaf/tvp/Japanese hamburg

In Taco Bell burritos it kind of doesn’t matter

I guess the initial rush of curiosity is over and it’s settled into a back burner interest at restaurants

Hmmm… Impossible foods isn’t public atm

When it comes to getting food out, I've found I've preferred Impossible's burgers over Beyond's. But when it comes to cooking for myself, I've preferred Beyond's grounds and breakfast sausage style patties over Impossible's.

Yeah, I freaking love Beyond. We’re meat eaters, doing 3 racks of ribs tomorrow, but still go through at least 1 pack of Beyond per week. It doesn’t taste like meat though.

Impossible is MUCH closer to actual meat. They’re both good for what they are.

I miss loving next to Grocery Outlet and the end cap freezers full of 80 cent impossible patties. I bought so so many back in 2020. I find beyond meat far too sweet.

I had it a few weeks ago and wasn’t impressed. I think impossible burgers are indistinguishable from fast food beef burgers, for the record.

Yeah I like impossible burgers too. Unfortunately I am not into the cashew cheese that my local vegan place puts on their burgers, although I guess I could just ask them to leave it off

I feel like vegan cheese and vegan eggs are going to be harder to develop than the meat alternatives. By that I mean "cheese" that has the same consistency when melted, or "eggs" that can be scrambled.

Cheese-like sauces or egg replacers in baked goods are probably not too hard.

Doesn't vegan cheese already exist and work fine?

Vegan egg substitute works great in most applications, especially baking.

The thing about imitations is that they become very tasty if you don’t regularly eat the source material. Give up dairy for a year or two and a so-so imitation cheese hits the spot. Partner is dairy free and recently most of our friends are vegetarian, so we end up hosting or eating veggie a lot. I still love butter, but for heavy cream dishes like alfredo, I far prefer a cashew based sauce.

I will say I haven’t figured out a good swap for desserts with cream. Full fat coconut milk can work great in cakes 1:1, but gets grainy and imparts heavy flavor in ice creams and custards.

There is a company here in the UK that imports a lot of premium food from Spain and they have their own branded gazpacho. They recently started doing a beetroot one; it’s got pickle juice and cumin as prominent flavour elements and it is DELICIOUS. We were already going through substantial quantities of regular gazpacho (Alvalle; excellent) but are probably drinking even more. My wife is slightly gazpacho obsessed and my son loves it too, especially the beetroot one. He often has a glass with breakfast (and then goes to school reeking).

Our fridge, now. (Not pictured: open carton in the door)

That’s not purple that’s like a maroon or burgundy at best

These new ones are like grimace purple, and not just in the skin but all through the flesh. They got so much anthocyanins they’re gonna eat your cancer’s rear end

Yeah, I've grow purple-as-in-aubergine cherry tomatoes. The start out green with some purple dappling, ripen to eggplant purple and some retain some mottled green, and then they turn almost black red (think a dry bedded black krim) if they get overripe. From the garden a couple years ago:

Sure there were already purple tomatoes, but these new ones are commercially harvestable and viable so we can have them underripe and flavorless all year round

As a matter of fact, I grew Cherokee purple tomatoes in my garden last year. They were fantastic. I switched over to Golden Jubilee‘s this year and while these were great, I will be switching back to the Cherokee purples next year. They grow to a really big plant they averaged about 8 foot high and were plentiful. I would really recommend growing that variety if you can if you’re in the right temperature zone.
