Burger King's Impossible Whopper goes nationwide starting next week - It supposedly tastes the same as a meat-based burger

Why it matters: Plant-based burgers may not sound all that appealing for meat
lovers but it’s one of those things that is tough to knock until you try. If
nothing else, the Impossible Whopper may be a bit healthier than the
traditional version as it has roughly 15 percent less fat and 90 percent less
cholesterol.
Burger King earlier this year started market testing a meat-free version of
its famous Whopper in select restaurants in the St. Louis area. Now, the
burger chain is preparing to take the Impossible Whopper nationwide.
From August 8, you’ll be able to order an Impossible Whopper at one of over
7,000 BK locations across the country – either on-site or through DoorDash.
Built around a plant-based patty from Impossible Foods, the Impossible
Whopper doesn’t contain any beef yet retains the same texture and taste as
traditional meat. It’s so convincing that even Burger King’s corporate staff
that is very familiar with the iconic burger had a hard time differentiating
between a regular Whopper and the Impossible Whopper.
Burger King isn’t the only fast-food chain to experiment with plant-based
alternatives. Early this year, Carl’s Jr. partnered with Beyond Meat to bring
its animal-free creation to more than 1,000 locations across the country. You
can also find Impossible Burgers at select Red Robin, White Castle, Hopdoddy
and Fatburger locations.
From August 8 through September 1, Burger King will run a promotion in which
DoorDash users can order a regular Whopper and the Impossible Whopper for
just $7 with free delivery – a bit of a taste test, if you will. Normally,
the Impossible Whopper sells for $5.59.

I do however admit that it's fast-food and tehrefore on-topic here, so if
other peaple want to discuss it, go right ahead just leave me out.

ingredients.

Why did you reply then, Jenny?
Why do you hold the delusion that you can dictate what is, or is
not, discussed?

Note the many ingredients than can be part of a burger.
While it's not surprising that you had no idea that this WAS, in fact,
a burger, you really should keep your mouth shut and not makes such
declarations. If you don't want to taste or review it, that's fine,
however. We will permit that.

that Burger King's non-meat Impossible Burger confuses and frightens
her.
It's not surprising that definition of the word "burger" also escapes
her. It's obviously one of the reasons she could never make it in the
fast food industry.
So, alt.food.fast-food proudly provides the following helpful
definitions:
burger
short for hamburger.
a particular variation of a hamburger with additional or substitute
ingredients.
hamburger
a particular variation of a hamburger with additional or substitute
ingredients.
a round patty of ground beef, fried or grilled and typically served on
a bun or roll and garnished with various condiments.
chicken burger
A hot sandwich made of a patty of chicken in a bun, often with other
ingredients.
fish burger
a type of sandwich made of fish, in the style of a hamburger, offered
as an alternative to beef hamburgers
veggie burger
A type of sandwich using a patty resembling a hamburger but made with
vegetable protein, soybeans, etc., instead of meat.
There are also Elk Burgers, Portobello Mushroom Burgers, Turkey
Burgers, Pork Burgers, Bison Burgers, Lamb Burgers, and anything you
could probably think of using the standard "burger" motif.
While Jenny may certainly refuse to taste or try any non-beef burger,
as is her right, she is, as usual, incorrect to flatly claim the only
burger is a "beef burger."

I heard Red Robin's had Impossible Burgers for awhile, but I haven't found
one that serves them.
