Anyone else tried these? They were released in the UK on Friday and I've had 4 already.
They use a Beyond Burger, but they're somehow better than the normal ones, I believe it's because they're slightly thinner than usual.
The vegan cheese is OK, not great, and you're better asking them to switch it for a regular slice, and the vegan sandwich sauce is a little bit more oily than I might like, but otherwise this is an outstandingly good burger. The Beyond Burger really gives it a very meaty taste, and being thinner, it doesn't have as many issues with texture as the thicker ones.

I practice semen retention and nofap, but will test myself daily with hours long edging session. I believe this will naturally boost my testosterone to higher than naturally-achievable levels.
I also eat a diet consisting of mainly beef, pork, and some poultry with the only vegetables being canned corn, canned green beans and potatoes.
Seeing these plant-based frankenfoods all over put me into a blind rage. I see chads casually eat these things with their whore stacys like its no big deal, when based on my blood lab reports, I am almost literally twice the man that chad could ever be.
It makes me so angry that I am basically the ideal man and I still have never had sex and women ignore or deny my advances, no matter how persistent I am.

I would invite any plant-based """""meat"""""" eater to come to my house some time to see what it takes to be a REAL man. I could probably take on a whole group of these "men" all at once.

The US version is a little different, in that it's not vegetarian, as it's cooked on the same griddle as the regular beef burgers, whereas the UK version is cooked on a separate area and is fully certified vegan.
The problem with doing it the US way is that people that don't want to eat meat can't order it, and people that want to eat meat won't order it either, so it's a product that no-one wants.
I have to say tho, it is very tasty, if you see it on a $0.99 offer on the app, it's worth a go.

Yea, same thing with the burgerking ordeal. I mean I'd way more excited about these things if I myself didn't know how to cook good food. If these fast food places actually cared for the customer maybe i'd consider it, but the fact that mcdonalds fries are processed with beef fat shows that they don't really care to please the vegan community.

The main problem with burger king is that they don’t use grills
The flame broiler is essentially a big metal box made from chains, grease, and fire. You put frozen burgers in one end and they come out the other cooked.
They’re also pretty bulky, most locations only have one.
There’s just no way to cook a plant burger the same as a regular burger without cross-contamination in that set-up, so the old bean burgers were deep-fried like the chicken.

But now you mention it, there really isn't enough vegan and vegetarian cooking threads on here.
So when the work is finished on my kitchen later this week, I shall start many, many threads all about my vegan and vegetarian cooking.
Every time you visit /ck/, it will be full of the very latest of my vegan and vegetarian cooking exploits. Fuck, I might even start a general there will be so much vegan and vegetarian content.
