How about just not very palatable or convenient?

I bought a box of beyond meat burgers. They taste terrible compared to 4oz of beef with a little salt, and you have to keep them frozen and get the ones you want to cook out to thaw the night before.

I am probably not going to be able to finish the box.

Edit: Most veggie burgers that don’t pretend to be meat are better than these things in my opinion. They are in the uncanny valley.



You could just defrost them in the microwave in a few minutes.

I know much of America is incredibly excited to see these fail, but I'm a huge fan of Beyond Meat. I don't really care what the stock price is or how many other people are buying them, my freezer is always going to have a few Beyond burgers and sausages, they've become a staple for easy to cook meals for me.


Defrosting them in a microwave would make them even more unpalatable. Also it not what they recommend.

I don’t want to see them fail. That’s why I bought their product. I was willing to pay more than beef for potential health and environmental benefits.

It’s just not a good product though.


Definitely agreed, I tried them a very few times and it didn't taste good and made me feel bad.

I don't care if it looks like meat, just make something nutritious and tasty.
