Thanks for watching! If you have any questions about cooking these meats or the taste, hit us up!
when will they be available in europe...?
Shout out to Flavorcraft RIP.
Its made in a lab vs food you can hunt. Food made in a lab is questionable
You mean cooking poison? I don't need such info.
Hi, can I post this video on my Blog ? Thanks
If you can’t tell the difference between coke and Pepsi, I don’t think I can trust your judgement.
Because she doesn't drink soda where she's from.
B Smoove yes they do
Well. I can tell the difference between Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi (the last one tastes more like medicine) but not the sugar-flavored versions.
I probably couldn't tell either, it's been a decade or two since I've had one
I can't either and could not care less. I don't drink that poison, ever. Except maybe a a cure for a bad hangover ;-).....with fries on the side.
im going to trust the big guy
From experience big guys always know what's good.
yes
yes.. Beyond
Beyond Meat Burger is the better one, I've tried them both many times but I go to the store and get the Beyond Meat Burger all the time. Oh and they have Beyond Meat Brats and they are actually better than both of them imo.
When it comes about food, always trust the big man closest to you.
That guy looks like he knows what good food tastes like. I'm gonna go with him
The guy who said "I've never smelled a hamburger before, how would I possibly know?"
That dude? You're gonna trust that guys taste?!
That’s what I though actually
Lol
I thought the same thing, some of the others went by the look not taste.
He must've ate burgers for a long time that he has the brain of a hamburger critic!
“I feel like they’re probably gonna taste like beef but missing the beef flavor”
Hmm, yes the floor here is *not* made of floor
Snickers _ They’re lying, I just had some, tastes and smells like dog food, then looked at the ingredients and they mirrored dog food.
justtestingonce So, how often do you eat dog food?
Yung Emo Trash when I was a kid I used to taste my dogs food as I made it, the canned version. By the way, do a google search for impossible foods and dogfood, see what comes up.
justtestingonce sounds like you was missing something called seasoning
@@justtestingonce the beyond burger definitely ain't like dog food 😂
Kinda made me nervous them taking those big bites with the toothpick still jutting out lmao
Impossible patties will make you open up your burger and investigate. Its scary how much it taste and bleeds like ground beef
Leon Leon The skilled scientist in a laboratory did a great job huh !
What a lot of people don't understand (as evidenced by a lot of the comments here) is that how good these are depend totally upon the prep... just like a real burger.
I completely agree. I generally like the Impossible burger patties more than the Beyond Burger patties. However, Carl's Jr Beyond Famous Star that uses Beyond patties is way better than Burger King's Impossible Whopper that uses Impossible patties.
Umami Burger and Red Robin restaurants make amazing burgers using Impossible patties.
@@VicInCommentSection or if you're like me, I can get a Carl Jr beyond burger and a bareburger beyond burger, and definitely how they prepare it differs, so yeah...
It does feel like it depends who makes it, too
NOT The same as a burger. These are highly processed junk, and will be harmful to whoever eats them in the long run. Humans are not Herbivores! We are Omnivores and need real meat protein for a healthy body! This is according to the FDA!
keecefly does a real burger have fiber? No. Only 5% of people meet their daily fiber needs. The plant based burgers do have fiber, and it’s created with actual scientists. If you can trust science for everything but what you ingest, then you do not truly believe in science.
keecefly so I wouldn’t want to have more nutrients? Good point. I’d rather have carcinogenic food with no fiber
Take the toothpick outa the burger, that should have been step 1.
ikr , i thought someone was about to hurt themselves on those! haha
Toothpicks are plant based, so they will eat them.
@@hunterhenryk They're wood.
@@loerkue Wood come from plants
The whole point of the toothpick is to keep the burger, toppings, etc in place while you eat it.
From the product ingredient description, Beyond sounds more healthier.
Are any of them healthy? Doesn’t sound like it
Shibby120 Wdym? The ingredients are just plant stuff.
@@switchunboxing Look. These are for meat eaters and are healthier than meat. Vegeterians, as well as vegans, are not the target audience. They would be fine with some burgers with lots of vegetables
@@danielw.4876 No, they are very bad for you. Rats that were fed impossible meat got cancer + loads of other things
@@jaymalavia cite your sources
Those tomatoe slices was too damn thicc
They should be null. I love null tomatoes.
You spelled tomato wrong.
@@ameliabetts5416 i know
I had my first impossible burger from BK today. If no one told me it wasn't real meat it would have fooled me. The beyond burger has a definite "plant-like" flavor, and weird texture to me. The impossible burger actually feels and chews like ground beef. It's a little drier than real ground beef, but if beef stopped existing, I could handle impossible meat, even in something like tacos. I can't say the same about beyond meat, which I've been eating off and on for about a year.
I just tried the Impossible meat in my burrito bowl at Qdoba. I'm by no means vegan/vegetarian, but it was pretty close. I've been looking for alternatives, and if the mood strikes I'll buy some. I hate how expensive it is though. =/
Burger King nasty 😭
We have had Beyond Meat burgers for a while now -- they taste great and we really do not miss regular burgers
@David G. It's not about healthier, it's about sustainability and the environment. It's not any worse for you than a regular burger either.😒
Same here.
@David G. Trooooooll in the dungeon!
When dude at 4:25 says "middle school", he looks like he had a flash back to middle school as he zoned out
Moral of the story: everyone's taste buds are so different
I'm from Australia and we only have beyond. I love it and am eating beyond spag bol as I type this. Can't wait till impossible is available here.
Add some oyster sauce to the burger before cooking it
I feel like the beyond is more of a tavern burger and the impossible Is more like out door bbq or fast food style burger I'm vegan so I eat them both all the time and lifelight are not good but there ground plant meat is amazing
I tried the impossible burger and I'm gonna say that the impossible burger definitely tastes like meat but doesn't have a strong beef flavour. but it's honestly amazing. You can't tell an impossible burger apart from a normal burger unless you separate the patty from the burger
The first time I tasted an Impossible Burger I was floored and thought the restaurant screwed up my order. I couldn’t believe how great it tasted🤩
Yeah I agree 100% I don't think I will order the original whopper ever again!
Uh you’re literally eating bugs!
@@CottageCupcake WHAT?!
Audrey Love I know, search ice age farmer on UA-cam and Celeste solum she periodically talks about it. They don’t want us to know the truth 🦠. That’s why they have shutdown slaughter houses and controlling our/animal food sources.
@@CottageCupcake dont spread false information nobody is eating bugs lmao
Last year when they started selling the Impossible meat, I bought a lb of both and my husband and I had our own VS challenge. I seasoned both the same (hamburger seasoning, pepper, Worcestershire) and threw them both on the grill. We both enjoyed Beyond a little more. He thought the Impossible tasted a little more like a fast food burger.
Why was that girl with the hijab so happy she got the impossible Burger as her favorite? Guessing that was her guess lol
i think she was being sarcastic lol
Maybe for an excuse to go to Burger King regularly
mihir shah ?
Has shares in company.
Tried both of them and they're both great. The best vegan burgers I've ever tasted. But, it's not better than burgers with actual beef. It's kind of expensive. But, it's a great alternative to take a break from eating real meat.
it gets way cheaper over time. beef goes up
@@fmcdomer I hope so.
@@fmcdomer Hopefully...
Hope not. I Hope vegan burgers get more affordable and meat stays affordable two.
@@shimeih2287 Facts.
I've tried the Beyond Burger, sadly they don't have the impossible burger in Germany yet.
The McDonalds in Berlin HBF has the impossible burger.
@@joshsmit779 What???? Berlin has all the good stuff. I'm not too surprised tbh. Thanks for the info though!!!
@@loerkue Actually nvm it has the "Garden Gourmet Incredible Burger". It tastes exactly like the Impossible and bleeds so I was confused.
@@joshsmit779 ah okay
Kaufland in Göttingen haa the impossible burger
As someone trying to avoid soy. I'm happy beyond meat provides that alternative. Also the burps after beyond meat are better than burps after impossible.
I made a beyond burger 2 years ago and while it tasted pretty good, (it had this artificial charred beef flavor taste, but was still off) it made my whole apartment stink of that same flavor for a couple of days. Again, not the same smell if you made real beef burgers well done. It totally turned me off to the other patties I made and I through the rest out.
That being said, I'm pretty excited to be able to try the Impossible burger for myself to see if it cooks/smell/tastes different.
Threw
zwr9ne0fh8pk4bt635245 There’s always someone. 😒
I’m gonna just leave it there especially for you.
They've had Beyond Meat Burgers at A&W for a year now, and they are fantastic. My buddy said to try one without cheese just to see if I liked or not. I loved it. Now they sell in grocery stores so I bought some. Only thing is they are loaded with salt, so long term not sure if its healthy?
leftcoaster67 that’s the thing with a lot of “meat” substitutes. They are absolutely loaded salt and other seasonings. Although it’s definitely still a good alternative.
TheMartian 32 you don’t think meat is packed with salt ?!
@@writerchik44 Just stating there always seems to be a downside.
Just think of it as preseasoned. Dont add salt to it
Beyond meat wins in my book!
Just tried it it's ok
I like them both. And so glad they make products like this now. Personally the impossible to me has a slight edge in flavor, but like the guy was saying the beyond has a better texture and is juicer.
The dude was totally describing the Beyond Burger when he tried the supposed Impossible Burger. "Chewy", "Middle school hamburger feel". His burgers were switched around. I just finished a Beyond Burger and chewy middle school hamburger is exactly how I would describe them. The impossible burger tastes and feels just like the real thing.
Visually I’ve seen photographic close-ups of both side-by-side. The Impossible looks more like real ground beef, although that determination probably varies with the cut of beef.
Beyond Meat is my fave. It also gluten free, GMO free, and soy free.
Thanks! Will try it because if your message. Like your name btw!
I tried the beyond at work 3 days ago. I really love it... That has been much lunch three days in a raw... REALLY GOOD.
“The Impossible burger is more like a middle school hamburger”. I totally agree! The Beyond burger is the chef ‘s choice. 😍
Thats the weird part. The impossible burger tastes more like a real burger, but it tastes like a bad real burger lol. Beyond tastes slightly less like real meat, but it tastes higher quality.
@@anthonyc19 how about a blend of both?
@@anthonyc19 Isn't this just that beyond is flavoured? I feel like there these comparisons fall a bit flat. Like the impossible is unseasoned and that's good, because it's more versatile, but you'd generally want to season it when using it so not doing that is weird? I don't know.
@@anthonyc19 Beyond is seasoned and flavoured, whereas Impossible is just meant to be like plain beef. I'm sure a seasoned Impossible burger would taste better than the Beyond meat.
@@marxistlynchist i use a lot of seasoning on both. Mushroom seasoning, garlic, pepper, salt, ground ghost chilis, and sometimes i add onion.
“I feel like they’re going to taste almost like beef but missing that beef flavorrrrr?”
> close video
But cmon we all know what she meant there lmfao
The Beyond Meat burgers are mega delicious! I want to try the Impossible one, very curious.
MontagZoso I like both, but I prefer beyond.
Where did you get the big bag of impossible burger ???
Queue all the insecure meat eaters hating on something that doesn't affect them...
You mean people who listen to scientists and nutritionists?
Christopher Alden whose research is paid for by the meat and dairy industry.
i like all the wild claims without evidence in this comment thread
jaypob just like the people who choose to comment on something on youtube that doesn’t affect them? Yep. All idiots!
I'm a carnivore and poisening the population even further DOES affect me, and you. It affects us as a society.
I have invested $750k in trying to breed cows that taste like vegetables. Next big thing.
It's in our dna to gather, combine/mix things to make stuff better... But nah, your creation doesn't cut it
The carnivore meat only eaters that miss that veggie taste. Winner!
the beyond del taco though... mmmmmmmm...
I’m ready for them to start selling impossible everywhere, what’s the hold up?! Both burgers are really good, sometimes I have taste for the impossible burger other times the beyond
The biggest problem is being able to produce enough.
Lord Lex people have to want them😂😂
Impossible aren't as healthy right now as well. Canola oil isn't good for you.
It's banned in my country, and i'm okay with it.
@Jay Heece the Netherlands
I've had both and they taste better than most beef hamburgers. A great beef hamburger can be superior, but an average beef burger tastes worse than an average impossible/beyond burger. Not particularly healthy, but delicious and better for the environment. I'm a fan. More please.
No joke. I just cooked up an impossible burger, and while it didn't smell or feel quite like meat while "raw", it cooked and tasted very much like the real thing after I fried it up and was pretty damn good.
I actually did the taste and they both are really good, but the Beyond Meat Burger is simply better imo.
Where did you find the impossible ground beef?
I was waiting for ages to try the beyond burger here in Spain and was blown away so much I went back 3 times in one week
It's the cowboy style seasoning "Roundup " by Monsanto that gives it that zing
You should have done it as double blind taste test because the preparer might be biased when serving it.
This just shows that different people perceive flavours differently. 🙂💙💙
Curious, how they compare cooked on a flame grill?
The selling point will be price.
currently $5 for two BUT THEYRE SOOOOO GOOOOODDDD I'M OBSESSED... I HAVENT HAD BEEF IN WEEKS AND THIS SATISFIES THAT AS I'M TRYING TO STAY AWAY FROM BEEF... sorry for the caps
blazinbeatz17 they are good. But when a package of 20 beef patties cost between $13 to $15. But yet 2 patties of veggie burgers costs 2 for $5. It will be hard to convince people to pay those type of prices. If they can make a package of 20 veggie burgers cost $20 to $25. More people will buy them.
Don’t worry about the caps.
I see impossible burgers being popular in india
@@blazinbeatz17 way to promote shitgers
@@blackstarafro2 demand will end up setting the prices. I feel that they need to push their prices down as much as they can manage to get people to try it otherwise they will never hit that critical level of demand to drive prices down lower than meat. Realistically if the demand gets high enough the price will be drastically lower than real meat just from the standpoint of how much goes into raising livestock.
1:50 ....."I feel like they're going to taste like beef but missing that beef flavour".....genius
Can I share this video on my blog? Thanks
So Which One Is
The Pro Model
I definitely prefer the Beyond beef products. But I will also confess the sodium is a little high. I'm more than satisfied generally cutting a serving size in half. Eating much more than that I feel stuffed.
I have had both at home and the impossible burger tastes way more like beef then the beyond burger but they both taste great
I don't understand how soya can give the taste and flavour of meat . Please don't misguide
1:55 My man ain't here for no damn test, he just hungry and I can't blame him lol
I personally like impossible burger better when I had the impossible whopper then got the beyond burger from hardees, i thought it was going to be the same i didn’t realize it was two different products UNTIL I ate it and said this doesn’t taste the same and someone said “its not” both stil good but if i had to choose i would go for impossible whopper for sure. Now I have no idea which is better at home willing to give it a honest try
eating my first Beyond burger as I watch this.
And? What are your thoughts?
@@CNET I had it on a toasted sesame bun with a bit of mayo, salt and pepper. A slice of pepper jack. First bite and I was like..this isn't beef at all, kinda grassy. Then I actually enjoyed the rest. Very surprised at how good it was. I'm having the second one in an hour and maybe I'll post my second thoughts.
@@acidbran did it taste like beef
DRAW LIKE MATT Nope.
To me, impossible tastes more like beef but that doesn't necessarily mean it tastes better. Beyond burgers are often more filling.
For example, the Beyond Famous Star at Carls Jr tastes better than the Impossible Whopper, but the Impossible Whopper tastes almost exactly like a normal whopper.
Overall, I prefer Impossible because the Impossible Whopper is much cheaper than other vegetarian fast food options. It also tastes very close to a normal whopper, so I do not feel like I am missing out. For these reasons, I believe Impossible accomplishes their goal of helping people avoid animal-based meat by bringing plant based meat to the masses.
If your body is craving meat, and the sight of 'simulated bleeding from the meat', maybe you should listen to your body and eat what it actually wants.
One of the problems I found when eating vegan meat alternatives is the “after/throat taste” and just not right texture, it’s been a few years that I have been an on/off vegan and maybe I’ve simply gotten use to it, but I remember that was a turn off.
They look very similar. Frankly, I'd be happy with either one. However, I think I'm gonna go with the one with the little smidge of purple. It helps that there's no ring on the ring finger either. 🤩
I love burgers & quit eating animals years ago. My favorite is BEYOND! Never had a better one.
@karonic ゝ have you ever tried to understand why? or you just think your way bcos that's the right way?
@karonic ゝ well dead animal is from killing an already tortured animal. Some of us don't want to contribute to that.
I grew up with real meat, and i miss it, i loved it, i was a meat-only lover for many years. But learning of the mass produced meat factories, I had to quit.
@karonic ゝ looking like real meat or BEING real meat, quite a big difference.
@karonic ゝ but why wont you understand, not animal means....... not animal
imagine eating a picture of an animal, is it hurting the animal?
trying to make it simple for you
@karonic ゝ a person grew up loving burgers/meat
that person later learned of the torture & devastation that caused
the person stop eating meat
the person found a "replicated" source to continue eating , without the devastation/torture
understand?
as a vegan, i much more prefer beyond to impossible
I've never made an impossible burger at home, but I definitely prefer the homemade beyond burger(2.0 that is. 1.0 is trash) I made to the impossible I've bought from restaurants.
Haven't had a Beyond Meat yet, but an Impossible Whopper is 95% right on! I LOVE those!!
Plz also do review on New Beyond Burgers 3.0 that will be available soon in the USA! I’ve heard that it will be available starting May 3rd.
Why they tell the Middle Eastern lady her selection was impossible burger when it was the beyond meat burger?!
Why's does she have to be middle eastern? Maybe she is 100% American.
It wasn’t. For some reason hers were switched around
If you're doing a taste test, you should have included a real meat burger.
We thought about that...but figured everyone would (definitely) think the real meat was the best 😅
Michael Reaves agreed
Exactly.
If your vegan...nevermind.
@@SharonProfisOf course. Because it is
I have eaten both...
Last week I tried the "Impossible Beef" bought in the Supermarket. I was absolutely impressed of how good and real its flavour and its texture are 😮😋💖
Today I bought "Beyond Meat Beef" to compare with my beloved "Impossible beef". I found that Beyond beef has a distinctive smell, different to meat, unlike Impossible, which I remember odorless.
Beyond meat beef tasted a bit the same way it smells (don't know how to describe that smell). However, I found Beyond also good in texture and color, better than some small brands trying to imitate meat in the past. But not better than "Impossible Beef", which I think is my favorite 👑
I'm always amazed when people say the Beyond Burger is good. I gave it every chance in the world (charcoal bbq) but it just isn't good. Or perhaps there's something different with the frozen one we get in stores in Norway.
More about vegan food pleeaassseee :)
Meat doesn’t scare me; but the buns and fries and Coke; sure do.
"Meat doesn’t scare me; but the buns and fries and Coke; sure do." Especially the amount of salt they put on fries. Are they trying to kill people? LOL
meat should scare you
Nope . All those carbs and salt are the ones to be scare . Someone decide to try a little theory . Do a "healthy junk food " experiment . Eating salads , milk products as yogurt , the meat without buns , no soda ,no fires , from fast food for a while . Not only he didn't gain additional weight . But his cholesterol and glycosylated hemoglobin were in the normal range . Of course don't try to live on junk food . But there are ways to eat better alternatives in a hurry or for occasional occasions .
@@MariaRodriguez-hb4ix yes, eating vegan is the healthiest lifestyle
Levent Oerkue I had see enough evidence to contradict that statement.
At least supplement your Vitamin B12 . I saw a kid who was full vegan ( no even maternal milk , only soy ) who won’t walk again due to severe deficiency of B12 .
I've tried Beyond Burger at Carl's Jr, and a local diner. Definitely good. Taste like a real burger. Several friends have tried it and agree
I tried Impossible burger at BK, and did not like it at all.. could have been just one bad experience.. want to try it again..
Formulas could be different for the fast food versions.. don't know.
its because of the soy protein
New to vegatarian tried a few plant based patties beyond meat is best by far so far, I love them taste better then beef patties, disappointed here in nz we can't do as good or better.
Soylent Green just around the corner...
At least "that's" animal protein.
More eco-friendly than cremation and takes up less space than burials.
Is that Sharon??!?!? I didn’t know she still works for CNET !!!!!
Lo Mio it’s Shannon, her evil twin
You can also get the impossible burger at Kroger if you are quick, they sell out really quick when they get them :)
I'm glad to see these companies producing plant-based meat. However, I think you guys should do a video about these companies using GMO's and what's in the product of how safe it is compared to actual meat. Especially in a time where a lot of companies are moving/have moved away from GMO's and growth hormones used products. I think it's a little bit of an unpopular topic at the moment that's overshadowed.
GMO are safe.
Beyond burgers are waaaay better. Impossible has nasty after taste
Well now I’m hungry..
😂😂me too.
When is the impossible gonna be at the stores.
You could improve the flavor of both by adding oyster sauce to the mix before cooking.
I love both burgers
Why a battle, why can't they both be?
Beyond are the ones they sell in stores right? I may have to check these out
Yup, and Impossible will eventually roll out nationwide.
Both are now available in retail.
Have any of you bothered to look into the ingredients list for either of these products?
If these ground beef was the same price as regular beef I'll be vegetarian
Beyond patties are almost $6 and yoh only get two. It's annoying honestly.
wait for economies of scale, just imagine how much cheaper it is to make this in a factory and not raise cows for years.
I like Impossible burger, Impossible Whopper yas
Impossible is full of GMO yeast produced Heme ("blood") and full on GMO soy to save cost. They were going to use pea protein like Beyond, but chose to make a cost decision.
Is the plant burger lower in calories do and good for you so?
Actually it's still just as bad as a normal beef burger health wise the claim its healthier is bogus
In fact it probably is less healthy based on a few factors one being the cooking/preparation of the burger and the other being creation of the burger itself but if you don't mind like an extra 18mg of estrogen you should be fine
As an experienced plant based eater. I suggest ,Impossible Burger for Texture and Beyond Burger For Flavor.
right words to what was in my mind
5:35 go to Burger King?
They sell burgers with the impossible burger there
Beyond burger tastes better, but impossible is more meat-like.
When people try them for the first time, they usually gravitate toward the impossible since it is so much like real meat. But ultimately beyond just tastes better.
They should have also made an all-beef burger, to show how close to beef both of them can get.
You don't need meat
Beyond meat uses no GMO’s and no Soy
Yeah that is the plus of Beyond! I have always been a fan of the Impossible Burger from day one! Love the taste but eating one makes me feel nervous because of the engineering involved.
Absolutely why I would avoid impossible Burger. Beyond beef is definitely more natural and less trillion-dollar Tech involved. I've served both the Beyond burgers and the sausage to friends and they found them fantastic. They were surprised to learn that my family raised Angus and Hereford in Southwest Michigan and I love the beyond beef burger and sausage!
@@benbrown8258 Yeah! To me its all junk but pick your best poison! 😳
There's nothing bad about soy or GMO, they're both very beneficial for you.
I can say with a 99,9 percent certainty that everything you eat is GMO as all of them are genetically modified as no wild species are used or sold in the groceries. And soy has been eaten for centries in Asian cultures and so far not any negative effect has been observed from doing so apart from overeating it (moderation is the key, as always). So people have been eating soy and GMO for millenias and nothing bad has happened to them.
@@TheManinBlack9054 I disagree. Yes, Asian cultures have been eating soy for centuries BUT eating "fermented" soy such as Miso and Tempeh which is healthier. American GMO products such a fermented tofu and soy protein isolate have already been proven toxic and affects the digestive system and hormones. Pesticides from Monsanto are cancerous. Not sure where you obtain your information from but if you prefer eating GMO products be my guest!
I'm happy both are options! :D
I find that mixing a little A-1 steak sauce thoroughly into each patty before cooking, plus a little salt, makes all the difference. A-1 is also vegetarian.
I'm hook on BK 👑 impossible burger 🍔🍔🍔😂
so jelly lol
Same
Javielito Evans word🤤
Get the burger king app on your phone and the fake burger is $4 with the coupon.
They're both very very similar but I have to give the photo finish win to the Impossible...
When will youtubers start looking at the 2nd camera from time to time. The editors must be going mental!
I’ve had both and honestly would never have them again. I’ll stick to making my own veggie patties
