I finally bought some Beyond Meat

[bif]

I should have bought it a week ago when it was "only" $150. It's now closing in on $200. But I think it's going to continue to do well.

1. That's one expensive burger!

Hope you enjoyed each and every bite!

2. The sad thing is, it was overcooked!

3. I actually bought a couple of patties at $6.95. I don't think they're as good

as a Morningstar griller.

5. LOL

I am so used to grillers that I will probably feel the same. I have not seen or heard of these new burgers, or fake meat around here. Probably sometime in the next year or so it will show up, lol. I have not really looked either, I am stocked up on grillers and facon and veganaise and will not need anything for a while.

I hear these are juicy? That is one of the things that I could never go back to.....bloody food.

9. Veganaise is wonderful stuff!

4. I cooked

An impossible burger.
They were awesome!!
6 bucks for 2 patties but you will spend 7.00
For one Best Burger around here.

12. Beyond Meat burgers are GMO free

Unlike Impossible Burgers.

13. sorry that's what I meant

a Beyond burger.
I did have an Impossible burger from Burger King.
It was good but I prefer the other...

14. I bought an impossible burger (medium) meal for over $10

Tasted bland. Had mayo which I forgot to delete from my order. I don't like that at all.

Possibly was not even vegan mayo.

Threw half of it away.

I make my own lentil burgers which are great. Make enough to freeze and use as needed.

Been vegan for 8 weeks. Lost 10 pounds at least.

Was largely vegetarian anyway before.

15. What's in your lentil burgers? I've been looking for a good recipe!

[BSdetect]

16. lentils not overcooked. Leave them with a slight crunch for texture.

grated carrot, caramalized onions, mashed potatoes (no oil or other fats - act as binding agent), cooked peas,

Work out your ingredient measures by trial and error.

One cup of lentils makes a lot of cooked volume.

Optional, cumin, coriander, salt, paprika, ginger etc

Mash all together with a hand held blender briefly - too much will destroy the texture

Take a spoonful of the mix and roll in besan flour or any flour

Fry in light hot shallow oil for a couple of minutes each side

Serve hot or cold with salad..

Makes excellent cold snack or in a lunch box with bread.

Great with sweet chilli sauce, Indonesian sweet soy or chutney.

These are vegan burgers. You could add an egg too for non vegans.

17. Mashed potatoes!

Ok, will have to try that, sounds good. Thanks!!

[BSdetect]

18. Also mashed pumpkin, squash etc

[JudyM]

19. Sounds good.

I never used besan flour before, had to look it up!

[safeinOhio]

6. Grilled portobellos

On a bun for me please.

[marble falls]

8. Sounds good, some grilled onions and a slice of provelone, too!

[safeinOhio]

10. Now your talking.

Yum

[MuseRider]

11. Mmmmm

another perfect substitute.

7. I wonder how this enters into the equation ...

20. The price has been steadily going back up

After a huge drop in mid-March of under $100.
