Maybe it wasn't cooked properly? I think they're delicious too. And they taste pretty genuine to me (I do eat meat too).

The first time I ordered one I honestly thought they got the order wrong and gave me a real burger.

Even the texture inside, a little but redder and more rough really felt like a fresh ground beef burger.

Impossible are really good too, I've had both and to be honest I have trouble remembering which was which but I enjoyed them both. I wish they were easier to get here.
