Im looking for The True Unadulterated Experience of BB.
I decided to have one Burger Plain now.
the opened package
there is Sizzle !
flipped @ 3 min. package says 4 minutes a side. note : some brown bits !
the spatula after the flip. ' drippings ' not bad. no pea flavor so far
On the lightly toasted i.e. warmed up plain biroche bun. note the ' cracklings '
the cut burger. no red beet juice bleeding. 3 min a side. package says 4.
I was surprised that this tasted a lot more like beef than the IF @ BK. granted that's a FF version.
the burger was not juicy , was a bit dry , but not overly so. it tasted like beef much more than IF.
and the browned bits were tasty.
this still is not going to be a threat to BigBeef.
the back of the package says many interesting things , and a note from the Founder :
"we hope our plant based meats [sic] allow you and your family to eat more , not less of the traditional dishes you love.while feeling great about the
health , sustainability and animal welfare benefits of plant protein. " my italics
this burger costs $ 11 / lbs. at a high end supermarket chain very near me , RocheBros. Family owned with a fine meat service counter:
has 85 % ground beef ( chuck ) ground regularly though out the day , that has real beef flavor,
Its $ 7.00 a pound . If I want a beef burger , Im happy to cook their meat
rare . the extra 4 $ a lbs for BMt I feel is a waste of $ 4 with still a big sacrifice of flavor.
very very very few people, these days, would have that extra $ 4 , so that they can purchase some ' feeling good " food.
but there is a crowd that can afford to go out to eat and order an egg white omelette in a restaurant. This Beef is for You !
none the less , hype aside , Im pleased I tried this. Full Burger Treatment for the remaining puck later today.
and there are minimal lingering flavors on the palate w this puck , and those that linger are not offensive.
no Hoponius Uninon Ice Cold right now. after Eperiment # 2 : for sure.
