No, it's not. Vegetable ingredients are often cheaper to produce than the equivalent quality of meat, so charging more for vegan options is often a scam designed to separate vegans from their money.

[@Glarth-WC]

@@no_activity While that may be somewhat true. I do debate how much of it is that(if any really) and how much of it is basic economics. 90% of you customer base is likely ordering the meat product and so it's therefore much more expensive to purchase stock and prepare a vegan option considering to be truly vegan it will need it's own separate equipment to avoid cross contamination as well(otherwise what's the point anyway). When you consider the R&D budget that goes into/went into making plant products effectively taste enough like meat to fool meat eaters it's no longer just mashed beans in a patty the product is remarkably more expensive than just basic veg and potentially much more so than the typical bottom tier meat they use for fast food.

I find the density and structure of food is a give away as is the feel and the overall effect, for example meat has a certain resistance or give that means it has a coarse texture and also some fibre too. Taste and flavour is important but is only part of the picture. Density can spoil a food very easily and make it hard to swallow or enjoy. Make a cake too dense and you will know it, not nice to eat or enjoyable.

[@alvatoredimarco]

I've had regular Whoppers from Burger King and I've also had the plant-based version. Maybe it's just me, but texture-wise I didn't really notice anything different except that maybe the plant-based one was a little more dry.

I tried a vegan Whopper recently, but i still prefer the beef one. Although, i like that the vegan burger has no chance of me biting on some piece of cartilage or bone, which is always a big annoyance, but i wasn't a fan of the texture or added flavors to the patty. It tasted as if they put some asian dinner in a blender, and dipped the vegan patty in it, the seasoning felt way more exotic than i expected. Again, it was not actually bad tasting, but it was not what i expect from a beef patty. And this one was also kinda dry, then again, so was the beef one, the bread also made it more dry. Honestly, i've become a bigger McDonald's eater over the years, i used to be a regular at our Burger King's, but they closed stores in my town for years, they came back recently, but the times i ordered there, it was either not prepared properly or just underwhelming in taste. I do like the simple ingredients, but the bread is always too brittle, making the eating of a Whopper a mess and a race against time before the bread disintegrates. McDonald's might be overmanufactured, but i've been liking their stuff more, Quarter Pounder is still my favorite even after BK opened up again, but my absolute favorite was our local Maestro Burger, with Angus beef, Old Amsterdam cheese, red onion rings and poppy seeds on the bun, too bad it was a temporary thing.

A bigger McDonald's eater meaning a fatter one?

It’s people who say vegan substitutes “taste the same” what ruin it. They do not at all, but doesn’t mean the vegan ones don’t taste nice.

They're actually unhealthier than the real meat burgers. That's what ruins them.

I prefer these home-style videos way over the ones with higher production value!
