Are Impossible hotdogs as good as the burgers? I eat meat but like alternatives also.
Not sure about Imposible but I've had Beyond sausages and they are delicious.
I don’t know how people stomach the Beyond stuff. I’d rather go with the old school soy alternatives than Beyond; their textures are just so weird and off-putting, and they always taste wrong.
Impossible is unbelievably good in a lot of applications, though. If they could get their prices down, I’d eat their products a lot more often. Need to try their dogs, though.
Odd. I think that same thing with Impossible burgers. There was a while where Beyond changed their formula and it had waaaay too much salt. We just did Garden Burgers instead and still avoided Impossible. I recently got some Impossible burgers because Costco didn't have Beyond. They are pretty bland and the texture is off. Beyond has a bit of a grilled flavor to them.
That's not to say that all Impossible burgers that I have had sucked. Most of the ones that I have gotten at restaurants have been pretty indistinguishable from beef burgers. There have even been a couple where I am damn near certain they simply gave me beef.
Salt and pepper the Impossible burger like you would a regular beef burger when cooking. It makes the flavor indistinguishable from a beef patty, imo.
I can make impossible burgers on my pellet smoker - smash or pub style - and they are indistinguishable from lean beef. High heat sear and a bit of wood smoke is the trick. And MSG.
I have never been anywhere close to that successful with Beyond, and not for lack of trying. ☹️
That reminds me that I have to get that tub of MSG from the Asian grocery store down the street. Safeway has some under a less obvious name but it is $7.50 for a tiny amount.
