Same. I tried a Burger King when they had a deal where you could get the regular Whopper and the Beyond (or whatever brand it was, of plant-based meat) Whopper for the price of one, so I figured, taste test. The regular Whopper is your typical trashy fast food burger that is on the better side of decent, without being good. The mayonnaise and ketchup are a bit strong, but between the lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles, it’s a well balanced sandwich. I’d like the burger to be thicker, but this is what’s keeping it from being a good burger. So then the Beyond one. It tastes burnt, like the most important flavour to emulate was the “char-broiled” feature. Beyond the burnt flavour, it just tastes… bland. They could have seasoned it better, maybe. I want to believe in plant-based. Not because I want to be a vegan. But because IDGAF about whether it’s animal-based or plant-based. I don’t think most people should. I have a unique condition (bariatric surgery) where I actually need animal protein. So vegan stuff can’t be my main thing, but I can have some of it. But for people who don’t actually need animal protein? I wanna see that stuff succeed so much.
