Just tried a Simple Truth Emerge “plant based patty”. (Read: vegan burger substitute.)

Blech.

The texture is pretty much right, the taste is… no. Not even close. And there’s a bit of an aftertaste I really don’t care for, and a bit of an off smell when I was cooking it.

I mean, I’ll eat the second patty in the package, but I won’t buy it again. This is definitely not good. (For comparison… Impossible 2.0 is like 80% of the way to a “real burger” - there’s something missing such that it doesn’t quite have the substance of real beef, but it’s pretty good. This thing… ugh.)

I’ll have to try Beyond Meat to compare…
