Impossible Whopper Review

SoreShoulderSoreShoulder Member Posts: 3,148 ✭✭✭
edited November 2019 in General Discussion
The taste is like beef gravy mix or beef broth.

The texture is mostly like a very well done beef patty but still a little bit like vegetarian burgers made of beans and rice.

The cost is well above an ordinary Whopper.

I will not get it again if ordinary Whoppers are available.

    Thanks I have wondered what they were like.

    My wife doesn't eat Beef and doesn't like the taste so I will tell here to steer clear of them.

    She eats the Morningstar bean burgers.

    Yep the Morningstar is what she settled on after trying a bunch of them. They all taste like cardboard to me and I like my Beef and I like it rare.........If I want beans I will make pot with a hambone in it ;)

    They are better grilled with a big chunk of cheese melted on top smothered in BBQ sauce :lol:

    Seen that on "South Park" last week (or was it two?) didn't think it was a real thing. I thought the "Pink Slime" sounded bad but this? Why bother? Burger with gravy does sound good, though. Maybe I'll get the family pack of Salisbury steak in between some bread with some sliced onions.

    I can't fathom why anyone would eat one.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    When I make Hamburgers for myself I throw one on for my wife so she can have a "Burger" but In reality I think a grilled Portabello mushroom with cheese melted on it and lettuce, tomato, onions and a pickle on a bun is a better NO Meat alternative.

    Hamburgers are so popular here, even the vegans are jealous! :lol:

    There is just no substitute for a real piece of ground beef IMHO and anything trying to copy it scares the hell out of me! Probably need a chemistry set for all of the unknown additives they put in them.

    I like to try diff things but will not eat a chemical filled sawgrass sandwich on a bun. Why the hell would I? We have a top greasy spoon about 20 miles from me that serves some of best local grown ground beef burgers there is. Always stop when close.

    Some of the very best hamburgers I have ever sunk my teeth into were from BARS that mainly specialized in (and made their profits from) serving alcohol! There must be some kind of correlation there. :shock:

    If two vegans hate each other, is it still called a "beef"?

    A "fellow" once said, "I'm not gay. I tried it once but I didn't like it."

    Seems to me...he should have known all he needed to know before he tried it.


    The same with eating one of those "things". ;)



    Ain't gonna do it!
    I can't believe they misspelled "Pork and Beans!"

    I think that in the interest of fairness or perhaps yin-yang that they should now invent asparagus that's actually made from bacon.

    They can call me when it's ready.

    I like the impossible Whopper a lot more than the regular version. I also didn't have any trouble digesting it unlike the regular Whopper. For some reason I have a terrible time digesting anything from Burger King even though none of the other fast food places bother me.

    It's like these sex change weirdos.
    So this guy wants to become a "woman."
    Then afterwards, he announces he's a lesbian.
    If he liked women the whole time....
    What was the point?

    Ugly people want to have sex too. Also, a lesbian doesn't want to have sex with a man. Bing, bang, boom. ;)

    Well you ugly people can have all the sex you want.
    Regarding the thread, I make the Impossumable burger and it is a tremendous hit with the neighborhood.

    I ate a lot of moose when I was a kid. I haven't had it in years, but always loved it as a kid!
    I dont think I ever had it in a burger though.
    Bison is right up there for me too.
    The local butcher does a great job with my elk every year. We hunt in far southeast Montana, very close to South Dakota without an outfitter so it's difficult for nonresidents to get a Bull tag. This year I shot a young Cow, I know she will eat real good!

    If you want a vege sandwich, make a vege sandwich. There are worse things than a BLT/hold the bacon. Then comes the question, Miracle whip or Mayo. But thats for another time.

    Congrats on the cow! I'm going out Friday to the Nine Mile exit just West of us, then 25 miles North on a washboard road from hell to a really sweet little spot I've been successful at before. This will be my first elk with with an AR-10. After my last neck surgery, my choices are limited to "cyclic action" firearms and I've put a few down with a .308 over the years. Elk too. ;):mrgreen: :P

    Jim
    Thanks and good luck Jim!
    I've hunted 5-6 years with these guys on this same ranch.
    Every year, I could have shot a massive Bull. The first year I was there, I had a tremendous 7X7 35-50 yards from me in the clear, bugling like no tomorrow. Certainly made the hair on the back of my neck stand up!
    I was sitting in a little cooley with my rifle resting on my gear bag and he walked right into the crosshairs!! He had no idea I was there.
    Non Residents pretty much need an outfitter in this area to get a Bull tag, but we keep trying!

    We didn't work our way to the top of the food chain to eat burgers made of plants, I'm a carnivore I like to eat animals and I certainly would NEVER pay more for a plant based "Fake Burger" than I would for actual meat.

    I?ve actually made omelettes with ostrich egg, as well as used it in various baked goods (cake, loaf bread, cookies and biscuits). Tasty stuff.
    Jim

    We have a Bison Meatloaf at my gun club that is very popular. They use the same mix to make the meatballs as well. Last nights special was Wagyu Brisket slow smoked on the Green Eggs. I had asparagus and loaded au gratin potatoes as sides. That made up for the idiots that were monopolizing the trap field. Chef Larry tells me we will have bone marrow back on the menu tomorrow!!

    The Navy bought into some of that crap back in the 1960s. I think they were soy burgers back then. I find it difficult to believe they are any better today than they were fifty years ago.

    I say ?difficult to believe? vice ?impossible to believe? giving the benefit of the doubt to the people who can actually swallow them. In all honesty, if I were at gunpoint and under the threat of death I would attempt to eat one of them. Otherwise, no way in hell.

    The best thing I can say about their commercial is there are more disgusting commercials on my TV now.
    The road to hell is paved with COMPROMISE.

    I'd rather eat a "cow patty" than one of the "fake burgers". Basically the same ingredients but the real "cow patty" might be safer and healthier.

    Here is another thought I had concerning plant burgers; there are 391,000 species of plants on earth so "Plant Based" is as broad a description as could possibly be offered for something that they want you to eat. No better than advertising a "Meat Based" burger knowing that there are 8.7 million species of animals on earth, sorry but that's just too damn broad of a range for me, I want to know exactly what I'm eating as much as that is possible.
    Beef burgers by law, have to contain beef, same with Turkey burgers, pork and fish products as well, doesn't seem to be any rules (that I know of) when it comes to plants. They could be feeding us lawn clippings for all we know.

    I haven't tried one yet but just for the novelty I probably will. To be fair It is plant based and I like grilled veggies, so what is the difference? They just cut out the middle man... er.. cow. I did check out the nutrition info and it is higher in sodium and saturated fat and lower in protein than a comparable beef whopper. Not for someone on a restricted salt or fat diet. Seems like a solution in search of a problem but I'll give it a try. One of these days we'll be eating beef grown in a test tube anyway. Bob

    Beef, pork, poultry, beer, wine, pastries, bread, and chocolate are all "plant based" foods, too, you know. Only the method and degree of processing varies.

    Dang, now I'm hungry...

    I read an article this morning of how Arby's has come up with a meat based vegetable to counter BK's new introduction! It almost sounded like fake news, but I think it is true! :) 8-) It pictured something that resembled a carrot. :shock:

    Arby's is sticking to their "We Got The Meat" logo pretty well and I for one will be dining there instead of BK from now on.
