Impossible Whopper

[Nakosis]

It's pretty close, from what I remember, to what a Whopper tastes like. I liked it.

Though part of my thinking in being a vegetarian was to avoid the fast food places as unhealthy food. I don't if this trend in fast food places offering meatless alternatives actually makes fast food any healthier.

Fast food drive thru makes feeding your face easy. Hard to escape consumerism with how easy they are making it to consume.

I'll give it a try if the opportunity ever arises...perhaps on the OH Turnpike.
Does it have any of that special sauce stuff on it? I'd have'm hold it.

From what I understand it is not that much, if any, healthier. To get the flavor it is loaded with fats.

Still it does give hope to the idea of replacing meat with foods that are less taxing on the environment.

It's been a long time coming.
And coming from a farming family - I welcome it.
In Australia the CSIRO and a food company are investing
something like a billion dollars into this. They are creating
what will be called the Rebel Whopper.

Another technology is to cultivate cells into meat. Thus
people have had chicken nuggets, while the chicken the
nuggets "came from" was running around.

Same crap that's on the regular whopper. I tried one a few weeks ago. It passes as beef, albeit slightly dryer and blander than the real thing. I believe that might have to do with the lack of fat.

Healthwise it is a mixed bag. Less cholesterol, almost the same number of calories, more sodium:

It's been years since I've been able to tolerate anything on the BK menu. I'm betting there is no significant difference in texture, flavor, etc., so I'll pass...

However, several years ago when we were visiting San Diego, I discovered a vegetarian fast-food joint a few blocks from our hotel...Definitely one of the five best burgers I've ever eaten. If we ever get back there, I hope they're still open...

The smell from the kitchen exhaust makes me
ill, no way I'd go in.

Bacon could fix that.

that's exactly how I feel about it, too. My wife just can't understand. So she goes there with the granddaughter...

Canadian? Boiled, gracing a trencher of
bloaters?

To each his own. I am not trying to be wonderful or
anything, I just am nauseated by the smell.

Fairly tasty patty but high in fat and calories (almost same as beef original). My organic black been burgers are vastly superior.

Real bacon....good greasy salty meaty pork Ameristanian salt cured (or smoked) bacon.

If we know you, you’ll have them add double-bacon .

I don't overdo the bacon.....I just alwaysdo the bacon.

We already have the Rebel Whopper. I’ve been seeing ads for it for like two weeks lol
Actually the Hungry Jacks near me (I assume since they’re a chain, this is standardised) have had a full vegan range on offer for a year or so at least.

 

[SomeRandom]

I went to my local Zambrero’s (which I like to call “white peoples’ Mexican”) and they even had vegan cheese and sour cream on offer. What a time to be alive.

I would love to try cell cultured meat .

They say one single cow could feed thousands and it will never have to die in a slaughterhouse. Think of the breeding possibilities for the tastiest cow and the thought that by keeping one cow live would be far cheaper than keeping a entire herd to feed the same amount of people. It would probably drastically reduce the high cost of meat.

It's a win-win.
