Am I the only one who thinks boca burgers taste like a sponge?!
Am I the only one who thinks boca burgers taste like a sponge?
I noticed in another question that everyone else had a positive response to boca burgers. And do they really taste like meat? I'm curious because I've never tasted meat.
Answers:
In this case, I think the "taste" of a Boca burger is really a matter of perception. Since you have never had a real hamburger, you don't know what the Boca burger is trying to imitate.
I'm a pretty happy meat-eater, but I have also tried my fair share of meat-less hamburgers. I do not like Boca burgers; I prefer the veggie burgers sold by Amy's (much better taste, albeit more expensive). I have found that eating any meatless burger plain is pretty boring and unsatisfactory...But dressing them up just like a regular burger really hides the fact there just ain't no meat--and can be pretty tasty.
But when it really comes down to it, NO, Boca burgers or any meatless burgers do not really taste like the real thing. They can match TEXTURE pretty well, but the taste is really a far cry.
I hope this helps!
