One looks grey, the other red.
If they were cooked for the same amount of time, one of these is seriously "off".
"Seriously off" is probably an exaggeration - I wouldn't be surprised if you could observe just as big or even larger differences in colour of the meat just by using different breeds of cattle.
Also: one shrank when cooked, one didn't 😬
...assuming they started out in the exact same size?
I mean, how else would you compare them unless they were the same size?
Did you not read the title or is this an attempt at vegan food bad?
I read the title. It said "vs", so I logically thought it was a comparison? 😅
Alright, my bad. Calling it "off" sounded like you thought one of them had gone bad or were implying that it had. Both are colors that meat naturally takes when cooking and I think it's normal for them to change colors at different rates
I understand, but my monkey brain tells me something is not right if meat is red or gray when I'm about to eat it. I guess my point is they're not even close to replacing real meat.
I'm not vegan, but I'll eat the hell out of a veggie burger if they finally nail it.
I'm an omnivore but I will smash a spicy bean burger in my face hole from time to time simply because they're tasty... I don't know if I like the idea of "meat replacement" - my brain just goes "why? I have meat... So I'll eat that, why replace it?" I think the only way I'd switch is if it was actually better than a normal burger and priced comparatively.
