      Do you ever miss old fashioned bean and lentil burgers? I’ll eat an impossible burger, but I don’t love them as much as they’re often the only plant based option these days.

        Hell yeah, bean burgers are fantastic. But I’m glad to have the impossible option too, and there are times where I get a craving for it. I think with them being more widespread, it’s easier to get tired of them. Plus there’s something… creatively satisfying about a vegan meal that does it’s own thing and shows off what it can do rather than just substituting.

        Are those the black bean patties? Cuz those things are fucking delicious. I’m not vegan or vegetarian or anything, I just like tasty food, and you guys have come up with some good stuff! The impossible burgers are pretty decent too - I’d go for one of those over a ‘beef’ fastfood patty any day (calling those horrid things ‘beef’ is a stretch right out the gate, but you get gist).

        Yep, “original” vegan food is so much tastier than all the modern “fake” stuff. I eat whatever, but I’d honestly choose one of those bean burgers if they were offered anywhere.

          That’s funny, I’ve been veg my whole life and initially found the impossible/beyond stuff off-putting because it reminded me of eating meat. Once I got past the ick I actually really enjoy the texture and flavor compared to the old stuff.

          I especially don’t miss the bargain-bin-sitting-in-the-back-of-the-freezer-for-2-years-drier than-the-Sahara black bean patties.

      Of course the vegan has to tell everyone they’re vegan…

      Good joke though, I chuckled
