What’s next after you’ve successfully imitated the look, taste and smell of real beef? For Impossible Foods, the choice is obvious: move on to pork and sausage. From a report: Like the faux burger that was introduced in 2016, how the meatless pork tastes obviously depends on the chef’s abilities. But at Kumi in Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay, there was something for everyone, and apparently, the Input team was among the “first people in the world to try it.” So naturally, we ate enough to make ourselves sick (OK maybe just Cheyenne). We had Bahn mi, meatballs, noodles, spring rolls (swoon), and shumai — and it was all absolutely bomb. Again, credits to the chef, but a lot of this is Impossible, too. In each case, the texture was spot on and absorbed flavor much like the real meat would. As someone who isn’t a vegetarian, one of the things I loved the most about the Impossible Burger is that the texture of Impossible’s plant-based ingredient is akin to that of real meat. And the same goes for the Impossible Pork. We tried the Impossible Pork in a variety of different dishes and, let me tell you, every single one of them was delicious. The flavor is tasty, the texture is as crispy and slightly rough as traditional pork, and all I kept thinking was how insane it is that Impossible can make this happen.
