In a blind taste test put on for friends people thought the Impossible was actually the real deal and the beef burger was the fake "meat" product.

Both burgers were made with the same spices and were grilled on a charcoal grill.

People are happier to replace their hamburger meat with Impossible instead. Beyond Meat has slightly different flavor that people were able to pick out as "fake meat".

What were you using for the "real deal" though? If it was a frozen patty that included textured vegetable protein and other things alongside beef, as so many do, I can understand. I can't understand mixing up an Impossible burger with a decently cooked 100% beef patty.

70/30 beef from a local butcher. No additives.

Why put something else than meat though? I never understood this.

That's not what 70/30 means. It's the lean to fat ratio. So 70% lean, 30% fat beef went into the hamburger.
