To dream the impossible... burger. Vegan 'burger' bleeds like choice ground beef. (Page 1/9)

"
Our burger is made from simple, all-natural ingredients such as wheat, coconut oil, and potatoes. What makes the Impossible Burger unlike all others is an ingredient called 'Heme.' Heme is a basic building block of life on Earth, including plants, but it’s uniquely abundant in meat. We discovered that Heme is what makes meat smell, sizzle, bleed, and taste gloriously meaty. Consider it the “magic ingredient” that makes our burger a carnivore’s dream.

"

And the best thing about it is that it's been created in California's world famous Silicon Valley.

OK, maybe that's not the best thing about it.

Saving the Planet never tasted so good--I hope. But I really don't know yet myself. It's being touted (no surprise here) as a significant reduction in agricultural acreage and greenhouse gas emissions, compared to the ground beef product.

It was just reported on MSNBC. I am going to make it a point to try one soon. The Impossible Foods website has a Locations tab. Austin, Dallas, Anaheim, Houston, Oakland, New York, Pasadena, Las Vegas, Palo Alto and Costa Mesa. It's a dine-out offering only, not available yet at any supermarkets or grocers. A dine-out offering, or order one "to go."

Here is another interesting bit of trivia....

People who get in the way of a carnivores delicious, mouth-watering, bleed-when-cut, red-meat meal ALSO tend to bleed when cut.

Screw the planet. My belly comes 1st and the world will be Trumped !!!

Yeah, it is not a burger. Definitions mean something to me.

Your fascination with the absurd is fascinating to say the least.

My dearly departed wife was a life long strict vegetarian.

Was it the vegetarianism that did her in?

The lack of some basic ingredient in her diet?

Who knows?

But she's still dead.

And she had a hell of a sense of humor so you can go ahead and laugh.

Ok, so more human farts from a fiber rich diet. And less cattle being slaughtered. This is suppose to lower the gas effect? Am I the only one who noticed that living cattle fart more than the dead ones?

Hahah... that's pretty funny.

I'm certainly not speaking for all carnivores and omnivores; however, I don't know how many people eat the meat BECAUSE it bleeds. Maybe the people who created this forgot to do the marketing and realize that we eat it for the taste... not to satisfy some kind of prehistoric desire.

I am an unabashed meateater. I have had acceptable veggie-burgers, acceptable only because I was not expecting meat. I do like a grilled portobello sandwich.

I would certainly give this stuff a try. Who knows? I could be pleasantly surprised.

Ah-heme (a small pun here) "We discovered that Heme is what makes meat smell, sizzle, bleed, and taste gloriously meaty."

I will bump this thread with my review, as soon as I have the chance to try it.

It looked very appealing on the MSNBC video segment. First in the form of ground "beef." Then shaped into a large, thick "burger." Bleeding as it cooked on the grill, and finally served up on a plate, hamburger style, in a bun.

It looked like a very upscale burger looks (I've seen them.) The kind of burger the "one-percenters" like to have. (I was masquerading as a one-percenter that day.) The kind of burger that is brought out from the restaurant kitchen to the table, garnished with a blank IRS form for the customer's Capital Gains Tax.

That's why I decided to make this a Pennock's post.

I had a meal that included a burger for just over $120 at one time. The burger and fries came in at just under $10, and the lap dances were $80. I left a $30 tip.

Was it a vegan burger or a fur burger, ?
I like a little vegan on my burger. A little lettuce, some tomato, I guess bread is not a vegetable. If I were to try a vegan burger could I have meat on the side ?

Dammit, my ham sandwich is not bleeding.

Screw the vegan diet. Especially if it needs what ever it is that makes it bleed, makes it seem like it is bleeding because it is not. That sounds like a lesbian with a strap on.
