“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.
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.
One looks grey, the other red.
If they were cooked for the same amount of time, one of these is seriously “off”.

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? 😅
