Im afraid to try it. I might go to clean eatz today and give it a whirl. Theyre stuff is always really good anyway

i actually did rather like it.

texture is similar to ground beef, but a bit drier.

it's seasoned to taste like beef. (think montreal steak seasoning) that also makes it a bit salty though.

probably wouldn't work in every application, but i could see it making for a decent burger.

Meh, If I ever decide to stop eating meat, I'm not going to try and duplicate it just to wallow in disappointment.  

Carl's Jr and BK have Beyond burgers and Impossible burger respectively.....I have no desire to even give them a shot.  Vegetables are good on their own merit.

This is the first I've heard of Beyond Meat, but I agree with Sho... It looks good in pictures but I can't shake the feeling that I'd be at least a little dissapointed after biting into one of those burgers..

I bought some of the preformed Beyond burger patties. It was the closest to beef that a veggie patty gotten as far as texture and consistency goes, but the flavor was very weird. As a burger, it was easier to smell/taste the artificial beef flavor, and it tasted far too synthetic to do justice to the uncanny valley nature to how the meat browns and gets juicy. Almost smells like beef that went bad.

I’d still try it in other applications, and it’d probably be really good in chili of recipes where it’s mixed into food, but there are veggie or beef patties that I’d prioritize over Beyond if I’m making burgers. Maybe I’d have to try the raw packet version to get the best experience, but I want to at least give it kudos for using peas instead of soy.
