How does it compare to beyond?
Beyond is sold all over, curious if it's worth the hassle to get the impossible.

Had it at a friend's house. Yes, the texture, the taste, it was the real deal. I felt guilty eating it during the 9 days.

Bump. Had beyond. Tasted great, but had this cartilage type pieces in it. Wondering if impossible is even better. Also some of us got an upset stomach because of it, but fairly certain that's the target delivery person's fault.
I'm not who you think I am.

After the recent posts and now that's it's available in stop and shop, I decided to give it a homemade try.

Bottom line - it's no substitute for the real thing. For those that might like their meat with sauces and dressings, it might just barely pass. But for those that want the meat (and meat fat) flavor, there's no way this thing can pass for it.

Wow. I'm totally blown away. I never thought the day will come when @Dan and I would agree on culinary choices or reviews.

Agreed
But you gotta admit that it blew your mind how a dish made from plants can taste like that.

Did you add anything to it (eggs, spices, etc.)?
