    When Beyond Beef switched from v2 to the v3 (w/ avocado oil), my wife and I tried it and were like, “THERE IT IS! They finally fucked up a good thing, as predicted…”

    But after eating v3 for several months and lucking my way back into a box of v2 at Costco, I can firmly say that v2 was kind of shit.

    You just have to season your Beyond Burgers now, is all. You didn’t have to before. At least we never did.

        Agreed on all counts. I had already tried them all as I wanted to favor plant based meat on an ecological basis, but my daughter became a vegetarian so I been methodically trying everything on the market and Impossible is better in the beef-like category for sure.

        I tried the Impossible pre-made burgers at home and they tasted like rubber gloves or something, so we haven’t tried them again since. What do you season yours with?

          Not the person you replied to, but I season them exactly as I would any other burger and they come out pretty good. I will note that they are picky in how they are cooked (not the actual ground beef isn’t), but you can’t cook them quite the same. If you overcook them, the texture/taste call off a cliff.
