What Does The Impossible Burger Taste Like

The Impossible Burger Taste Like

I was lucky enough to go to the USA three times this summer and the highlight of my time out there was being able to try the famous ‘Impossible Burger’. On occasion, I’m a fan of meat substitutes, but I really miss the satisfaction of a good old ‘dirty burger’, so I was super excited to get my teeth into this famous burger I’d been lusting after on Instagram for months.

What is the Impossible Burger?

You may have heard about the Impossible Burger, a plant-based patty that bleeds and sizzles when it cooks. It’s made using an ingredient called haem (or heme, an iron-containing compound that's abundant in animal muscle) and aims to mimic that basic moreish meaty flavour. Since it’s made from plants, it has a much smaller environmental footprint than its classic beef counterpart.

I went to The Public House in San Francisco and sat down with anticipation and excitement. I ordered it with American cheese, of course. It was really wonderful and met the craving I had since turning veggie. The feeling I wanted was the joy that comes with a warm, fatty and salty burger wrapped in an amazing brioche bun, pickles, sauces, salad and cheese. This definitely had that naughty, fatty taste and texture I was looking for.

The outside of the burger is coated in coconut oil, so it has a crunchy savoury outside like you get on a beef burger when you fry it. And there it was inside: that pinky soft middle. It was simply delicious. The flavour was really good – the best veggie burger I’ve ever had. However, I was hoping it would be indistinguishable from a meat burger so I was slightly disappointed that I could still tell the difference.
