Humperdinks was one of the original restaurants in the D/FW area that sold the Imp Burger 1.0.

Not sure what Imp 2.0 tastes like, except soy with hemoglobin, but might try it once.

If I want to eat my meat substitutes grown in a vat, I get on the next generational starship heading out.

Until then I'll just wait for a real cow to fatten up.

BTW, the research people at Imp Foods have upgraded their product and it is said to be even better.

It is true that the meat like part is grown using programmed yeast cells. But the taste is very close to a match with true meat. I agree it should not be called (meat) but it is hard not to call it a burger, because that is how it is served most of the time. Most of the product is vegetable based except for this flavor item (makes it bleed and cook like red meat).

The key point is that it will overtake meat products in cost and lots of people want to cut back on meat or go veggie. That is their choice and Imp Foods at least preserves the taste they have grown to like.

I have tried it, it is good, I eat true meat most of the time but I have cut back and now eat a lot of fish. It is for health reasons, but Imp Foods is good news.
