Nope, just two people with a bad tempeh.
They oughta chard things out
You tell your boyfriend, if he says he's got beef That I'm a vegetarian and I ain't fucking scared of him
She wants to touch me whoa, she wants to love me whoa, she'll never leave me whoa, whoa-oh-oh
(hello high school)
I don’t trust you
Beet. It even makes more sense as a play on words than 'beef' anyway, in the context of an argument.
I’m going to beet you up.
Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.
I can’t believe it’s not beef
A man with a sign that reads, "Is an argument between two vegans still called a beef?"
Argument is misspelled with an e between the u and m.
argue mint
It's called "beyond beef".
you put "p" at the front like in pleather.
pbeef (peef)
It's like pterodactyl though, the P is silent.
It's a "You won't believe it's not beef"
Queef ?
Not if you squash it.
Probably a 'grouse.' That way the bird lives.
Veef
"Yeah, you could say we have beef. Not on our plates, though"
Can I add this?
Beyond burgers are fucking disgusting. I was starving after a kayaking trip and my vegan gf got me to try one at Burger King. Jesus fuck me it was... I do not have words. Revolting is all I got.
I've had a couple of Burger King's 'Impossible' burgers. They're not terrible. I've had actual beef burgers that were worse.
Huh really? I think they're alright. Tho I prefer the brand Quorn
I quite like both Impossible and Beyond burgers. Honestly, better than a lot of the shitty fast food Styrofoam "meat" they try to pass off.
It's a better bet than the "beef" at a cheap restaurant. The worst they can do is cook it badly.
Impossible is pretty good, but yeah I stay away from Beyond. It ain't it.
Tbh, McDonalds vegan burgers are the best patties they have. Not because they are great, but because at least they don't taste like fried shoe sole like their beef burgers.
Seriously, their beef burgers are animal cruelty. No animal deserves to be turned into that garbage.
i definitely find their vegan patties to taste worse than the beef patties, because the vegan patties are outright horrible. It's like they took an unflavoured bean patty, put it in a hydraulic press, then dehydrated it.
I wonder if there are regional differences.
very possible, could even be different for the cheap and expensive burgers.
But regardless, it was so miserable that i'm impressed they managed it, cooking a random vegan patty from the store and serving just that (no bread, nothing else) would have been infinitely better.
As a lifelong meat eater, anytime I've been in a situation where I abstain from meat for whatever reason, I avoid meat substitutes. They're just not good. Black bean burger? Fantastic. Beyond burger? Satan's taint. Stir fried veggies with fried tofu? Delicious. Qorn chicken stir fry? Beelzebub's unwashed ass.
It's so much better just to stop trying to imitate meat, and just focus on how frickin delicious veggies and stuff can be. They're very good, all on their own!
The exception for me is the impossible burger. I legitimately like it better than a regular burger. It's like if meat could be sourdough. I love it so much. But it truly is an exception.
either your tastes are just really specific or the stuff you're tried is executed poorly, i think i've literally had one bad meat alternative and that was a mcdonald's burger which was like a dry flavourless vegetable patty.
Anything based on soy/pea protein is at worst "okay", the texture is gonna be nice (at least to my tastes) and it's really just a matter of whether the seasoning is good. It's not particularly close to meat but it's definitely in the same category.
The taste is generally okayish, it's the texture that gets me. It's always so granular and just... Eugh. The impossible burger, to be clear, is amazing in both taste and texture.
Now, to be completely fair now that I'm really thinking of it, most of the meat replacements I've had were cooked by my brother's ex fiance, who also ruined tofu for me for years. And my vegan buddy is the one that made me try tofu again and I loved it, and the impossible burger...
You know what. In retracting my comment. It's absolutely possible that I just didn't like it because she was an awful cook. I will go about trying them all again
lmao that would be so sad, but yeah i hope you have a better experience this time. I can't recall ever finding vegan proteins "granular", if i were to complain about something it'd be them being a bit spongy, but even that is remarkably seldom an issue.
TVP and similar things are just really darn decent.
Try soaked shredded wheat as a minced meat replacement in Chili con Carne. It's seriously good.
Or falafel burgers with fried egg. That stuff is amazing if done right.
Minced meat is a tasteless canvas in most dishes and it's often quite easy to replace with something else.
