It's a shame; they're expensive and yet the best-tasting meat substitute I've tried. I especially enjoy their minced meat, for home-made dumplings and belyashi, although I only make them like twice a year.
Yes it will! Still like a good black bean burger over these, but I respect that this is a niche of the vegan world that some like, and have even used to transition to veganism.
I only tried Beyond Meat once when A&W came out with their Beyond Burger. At first I thought "Hey this is not bad?" But then after a minute or so, I noticed a kind of aftertaste I didn't care for.
I guess these days, they make other things like sausage and chicken substitutes, and I haven't tried those. But there are a lot of other non-meat burger options these days.
It's so expensive that I have only tried it when buying from restaurants. I wouldn't buy them directly because they're not affordable nor being sold in a place close to me.

I've been buying more and more bean burgers again. I think they just taste better then meat replicas.

Yeah, I kind of gave up on these fake meat burgers. Whole Foods here in the US has mushroom burgers I have been buying, tasty.

Overpriced. Tastes fine, but they're selling a brand and not just tvp.

If only they could get the price to match meat. I'd buy it every time.

Meat is subsidized in a lot of place, so I would be curious to know if meat alternatives like Beyon Meat get any subsidies.
But yeah, Beyond Meat prices are steep. It's 35$/kg here, which is what salmon cost.

Oh, I understand the subsidies keep these kind of products from becoming mainstream. Almost as if it's by design.

I actually prefer Beyond to beef burgers, and back when beef prices were soaring, they cost about the same. But yes, they need to lower the price.

Is there some sort of article I'm not seeing?
