Did a taste test of the new BK meatless whooper.
Has a different taste..... also was concerned about exactly was in the fake burger.
Here is what is in it just the burger part of the sandwich as well as some other nutrition info.

Impossible Burger Patty Ingredients
Water, Soy Protein Concentrate, Coconut Oil, Sunflower Oil, Natural Flavors, 2 percent or less of: Potato Protein, Methylcellulose, Yeast Extract, Cultured Dextrose, Food Starch Modified, Soy Leghemoglobin, Salt, Soy Protein Isolate, Mixed Tocopherols (Vitamin E), Zinc Gluconate, Thiamine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B1), Sodium Ascorbate (Vitamin C), Niacin, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B6), Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), Vitamin B12.

An 85 percent lean beef burger, which is what you see in restaurants, has about 6 percent saturated fat. An impossible burger has 8 grams of saturated fat in a four ounce patty, because it contains all that coconut oil.

A beef whooper sandwich has 660 carbs and the impossible burger sandwich has 630 carbs.

The impossible burger has considerably less protein—29 grams in a beef burger compared to 19 grams in an impossible burger—as well as more carbohydrates—0 grams in a beef burger compared to 9 grams in the impossible burger.

The impossible burger also has a lot more sodium with 370 milligrams, or about 16 percent of the recommended daily ceiling versus 82 milligrams in a beef burger.

When it comes to vitamins and minerals, the impossible burger does have a few benefits that a beef burger does not.

It has more thiamine, B12, and iron than the beef burger.
The fiber content is another plus. Beef burgers contain no fiber. The impossible burger delivers 3 grams, or about 11 percent of the daily-recommended amount.

I had an impossible burger the week the were available and thought it was ok, nothing special. The grand plan of Patrick Brown and his Impossible Foods venture is to rid the world of beef cows. Not gonna happen. He produced a burger taste-alike and the country was interested in trying it. Now most of America will go back to their all beef patties and the vegans will create a small market for them in the future.

Several of the people that were involved in the taste test said it was OK. My wife felt slightly nauseous after she ate it.....the Chick-fil-A sandwich also makes her slightly nauseous. I though it had a different taste. It also is more expensive than the beef whooper.
