Burger King "Impossible Burger".
 

Not bad for vegan food. Could hardly tell the difference between the beef burger and this plant based creation.

I’m not vegan but I imagine even a roofing shingle would taste good if you slathered some liquid smoke on it! ;)

Why call it a burger if it is not a burger?

All burger kings are impossible around here. :pepper2:Actually I don’t see how they can stay open with such little business?

Too funny...but true!

Do you remember some years back ....the controversy at McDonalds re the Hindus community (and vegetarians). McDonalds was pushing their fries as an option yet they got exposed for using beef tallow in the cooking process. 10M disposition for the class action!

It does have a long aftertaste.

I tried the Impossible Burger a couple of years ago and couldn't really tell the difference between it and a regular Whopper as I ate it. Not that that is a great recommendation as I think Burger King's burgers are pretty bad. However, a couple hours later I had a major gut ache from it. I am probably in the minority here, but soy-based products just don't agree with me. That's too bad as I wish I could cut down on beef but am as far from vegan as you can get in my carnivorous tastes.

There’s always that roadside watermelon you recommend to settle it all down! ;)

If you want to cut down on beef the heart association has a great recipe for burgers.

1/4 pound 80/20 beef, 1/4 course ground turkey and 1/2 pound finely chopped portobello mushrooms. Combine divide in 1/3 patties. I make ahead so flavor melds together. Grill.

You can always start with 1/2 beef for the recipe and cut back down the road. If you add too much turkey it will be a dry burger. Sometimes I add chopped cherries. Soy based products are not always a good fit for some.

The small amount of beef flavors the patties. To give another layer of flavor grill in a pan with a dab of bacon grease. It’s a southern thing to keep a can on your stove.

I was surprised at how much saturated fat and sodium they have for a "healthy" burger.

Soy based products are harmful to men.

Who said it is healthy? I don't think that Burger King makes that claim.

Exactly.....

Here’s what the Impossible Whopper’s nutrition looks like once you add the toppings, which includes tomatoes, lettuce, creamy mayo, ketchup, pickles, sliced white onions—all layered between sesame seed buns.

Yeah they weren't marketing it as a healthier option. They market it as a meatless option.

I'd rather have a falafel sandwich stuffed in a Syrian (flat, not puffy Greek) pita with tahini, lettuce, and diced tomato and onion. Can't get those at Burger King, but can't get them anywhere around here. Or any other Syrian/Middle East food for that matter. The "Greek" restaurants are the closest they come, and they don't serve anything with tahini, only tzaziki. Which isn't even almost similar.
