    Well, those are some fancy burgers… Worth the money if you have it, IMO, but not something I’d buy on a budget. I usually get the Morningstar Farms chipotle black bean burgers, which Costco sells in a big box for a good price. They aren’t trying to be indistinguishable from meat (which isn’t a priority for me anyway) but they’re greasy (in a good way) and delicious.

    Plus the Morningstar burgers have the rare advantage of being microwaveable. (I suppose you can technically microwave anything, but they’re good after being microwaved.) I’m not just saying that because I’m lazy - I have a little electric grill I can use, but I don’t need to for them and it’s nice to save a little bit of time that way.

      Morningstars don’t even need to be eaten like a hamburger. A little red wine vinegar, a few drops of olive oil, and a light sprinkling of Italian herbs turns that into some gourmet shit.

        Buhhhhh beyond is just nasty, I’ve tried preparing it a bunch of different ways and it always comes out nasty. There’s just some flavor I can’t cover no matter how much seasoning is on there. Eventually you just cover it in hot sauce so you don’t waste food.

          My main issue with it is the texture. Maybe something in the flavor too, but it just feels odd in my mouth. Impossible I basically can’t tell it’s not meat.
