Yeah, I'm a pretty bad technophobe and even I am excited about 3D-Printed synth meat. As creepy as parts of it are, can I really say factory farming has fewer questionable practices? And eight pounds of feed for a pound of meat, drat. Really, all externalities given due consideration, taking a bag of hamburgers through the window of your idling car while you stream music is like the most disgustingly decadent meal in the history of humanity. Old Pharaoh never even dreamt of such luxury- especially all the people and animal torture and ruined lands being far away out of view. That's the real cherry on top of any good serving of hedonism: ignorance. ... ...I'm sorry this is the burgers and coffee and mom-cars forum, right. Uh... *pets nice cat* |

Burg report: Impossible burger Just burged real hard on this bad boy:   It set me back a cool 14 clams and overall I gotta say it was pretty good. Not great but pretty good. It has a light smokey aroma, texture is crisp on the outside and mushy like tuna on the inside. Kinda gross looking tbqh. The taste is beefy but the flavor is kinda lacking.You can tell you're not eating meat. It's not greasy at all even though it kinda looks like that in the pictures. No weird aftertaste or anything but it filled me up really hard, couldn't even finish my dang fries. B- The burg wanter:  It's not even meat ya dingus!

I also burged an imp burg honestly? I liked it, I was pleasantly impressed. the texture is a bit crumbly, but not offputtingly so. flavorwise, well a lot of a stacked burg is the condiments and fixins - I got real cheddar on this bad boy, no vegan cheese bs for me - but there's a distinct beefiness, esp when you take a bit of naked patty. it's just . . . lighter than real beef, not a flavor bomb but tasty enough. I suspect I could make do with one of these when a burger craving hit and not feel deprived the cost however is quite high, that's an issue maybe we have not yet reached perfect vegan meat, but as proof of concept this is p good |

Thankyou gentlegoons for these excellent field reports. Obviously there is much work to be done but it is good to know the lay of the land. We know the promising state of the vegburgs this very day, and can chill soundly with that knowledge.

There was a time a few years ago when they just had the one in all of the UK, and the queues out the door were regular enough that they installed permanent outside queuing. My understanding is they charge us vastly more than you, a [double] cheeseburger is £8 ($11). |

In Denver there's this hole in the wall on like Colorado Blvd and Evans called Crown-Burger. Family owned, styrofoam drink cups, soap painted windows advertising low prices on breakfasts for construction workers. They have a weird giant menu with all kinds of crazy crap like gyros and chili and corn-dogs, but the famous house specialty is a "pastrami double-royale" that's two quarter-pound patties and a half pound of deli-sliced pastrami between flimsy buns with shredded lettuce and secret sauce. It is an unwieldy cannonball of meat and sauce and I dream of it sometimes (but the fries suck).

If you could keep that middle bun crispy and good, perhaps with a light air-frying as if it were some kind of bread-patty, would the third bun be a tempting idea? Or is it just a literal fifth wheel in 2bun2burger world? |

sigh, okay, fine, if the middle bun was kept crispy via consumer rotoconvectional thermoculinarianism machinery... would you welcome its otherworldly crispiness. Y'all be like "what, there's a chicken patty between these burger patties". But another bite is like "nah. iz bread. Still all-beef" and you're overjoyed.

I'm not saying that any particular cooking method is better or worse. I'm just saying that communication relies on everyone involved understanding the same words or symbols as meaning the same thing. Hot air cooking is very much a valid method of making food hot and perhaps creating the maillard reacton. But it's not what we've understood "frying" to be, at least not for hundreds of years. Why change horses mid-stream?

You seem to think the transformation of language is an affront but I think it's the standard. Frying starts out vague enough with both pan-frying and deep-frying variants, then we get into "fries", most of which aren't cooked in oil anymore. Are the convectios now? No. Fry just absorbs new meaning. I fried my brain on that stuff man. The circuit is fried, my scalp is fried, that music is some country-fried corn my friend. If all those iterations count, slightly different sizzling food counts. No really I agree with you I'm just treading water here. Mayonnaise on a burger, yay or nay? |

It is okay in moderation. It also makes for good and easy tuna salad, but I usually try to stick to farm raised, frozen, fish. ---------------- |
