Round 1: grilled
Lemmy has a different ides of what counts as food porn.
Yeah this’d be like TastyFood in the old place. But I always thought FoodPorn was too unrealistic. Like, every bun had to have that glossy brown sheen or it was crap, etc.
I think that’s more a reflection on amount of content producers than anything else.
I don’t mean any disrespect to OP because that looks good and I can’t cook for shit, but I agree with you that this isn’t the sort of content I would expect.

I think your post was mostly well received. I wouldn’t worry about it man. Hope you didn’t take my comment the wrong way. I don’t think lemmy should be/doesn’t need to be a reddit clone. Communities will figure themselves out.
No, OP still made those burgers fuck after the pic
This is like real porn vs. AI porn.
I’m gonna need an explanation of your bun situation. From here that looks like you’re using extra wide english muffins or something.
Are we just glossing over the colour and plasticity of the cheese too?
Nothing is that orange and shiny
It looks like Kerrygold pre sliced cheddar or the like. Usually it gets a bit sweaty as it melts.
Pre-cut Cheddar definitely is
Melted cheese is, throwing cheese on the patty for the last part of cooking is what I do.
That looks like cheddar cheese.

Found the euro
Unlike most hamburger buns, that looks like bread.
They forgot to cook the chips too.
I hate to just shit on things but overall this is a pretty sad looking pile of food IMO.
It could be home-baked buns, they are incredibly delicious.
It could be, or it could be hard tack. We need answers!
It looks like pita bread
I feel like a lot of you never had a good hamburger in your life
The best hamburger I’ve ever had didn’t look like it would be.
Just as a note, my stepfather had the best burger of his life right before his first case of food poisoning.
Both of these look pretty mediocre. wtf are you doing with the cheese? lmao
Melting it with the heat between thier thighs.
But who puts the cheese under the pattie?
Sociopaths, that’s who.
Who spells patty like that?
I blame the wine for my singular/plural confusion.
I can’t wait for lab-grown meat.
“From lab to slab!”
…without a stab!
Had Beyond a few times, it’s really impressive. I’m not a vegetarian (sorry) but rather a meat reducer. Keep making stuff like this available and I and many people like me will have no more excuses.
I really like fake chicken, but fake beef just isn’t there for me yet.
IMO:
Fake chicken - almost indistinguishable in many cases
MOST fake beef (especially the likes of Quorn which I quite dislike) is nowhere near yet, I agree. Beyond though? I’m really impressed, I can hardly tell.
Fake pork i.e. veggie sausages - long way to go. Oddly enough Richmond seem about the best. Most are way too dense and heavy for my liking.
Every day is progress though
No prob. Veggie here, we’re all just glad people are open to trying.
If there’s one hard rule I and others believe in, don’t waste your food, especially the meat.
Oh agreed, that’s well ingrained in me and seems quite ingrained in British culture in general (I think it has wartime origins, but more because meat was expensive). I and everyone else I know, if we’re out at a meal and getting full the first thing anyone does is start fishing around for the bits of meat to make sure they don’t go to waste.

What a rollercoaster
Sooo… rape then murder or the other way around?
A cow has to “artificial impregnated” every year so they lactate for
their babysomeones cornflakes and obviously to have a baby for the next burger.
We should make a “just alright food” community
Could be a sister community of https://dimlylitmealsforone.tumblr.com/
They both look terrible tbh
I’m a fan of Beyond meat but this doesn’t qualify as food porn. They look ok I guess but definitely not porn level.
Years ago I spent a handful of months in Japan. It was wonderful, as always. But a couple months in I was really jonesing for some tasty Mexican food. I was told of a Mexican restaurant that was close enough. I went and ordered a chicken burrito and something else (I don’t remember). It showed up and looked exactly what I would have gotten from one of the hundreds of Mexican restaurants around where I lived in SoCal. I took a bite and…not a single flavor was right. It looked wonderful, but tasted like a joke.
I agree looks can be deceiving. My go to example is a wedding cake that’s 90% fondant. I stand by my statement though, even if the meal was good, that photo of it is not.
I prefer the Impossible beef. I just think it tastes better.
Agreed. I bought Beyond Meat patties at Costco because mine was out of Impossible and I was sorely disappointed. Impossible or bust!
And it’s too bad…
People definitely buy up the impossible and ignore the beyond. They had the 10 pack on sale for $10 because it wasn’t moving. Wish I liked them more
Beyond, hands down. I got a distaste for real beef burger patties since I had my first vegan burger.
For me Impossible tastes better than beyond. I’m happy to eat either over beef even though I think beef has the potential to be the tastiest.
Is it cake??
If the way food LOOKS is the main metric you use to judge it, then I feel bad for your taste buds.
Beyond burgers are okay or whatever but they are SO different and just do not taste as good as or that much like a beef burger. The number of people I have heard say they taste the same makes me think I’m a super taster or something.
That’s because beyond is disgusting. Impossible is very close
What the!
What kind of Real Meat ™ is that?
The one on the right does look more appealing though…
