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.

[–] GONADS125@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.

No, OP still made those burgers fuck after the pic

This is like real porn vs. AI porn.

[–] theragu40@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago (5 children)

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

[–] forgotaboutlaye@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It looks like Kerrygold pre sliced cheddar or the like. Usually it gets a bit sweaty as it melts.

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Pre-cut Cheddar definitely is

[–] CouncilOfFriends@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago

Melted cheese is, throwing cheese on the patty for the last part of cooking is what I do.

Unlike most hamburger buns, that looks like bread.

[–] ReadyUser31@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They forgot to cook the chips too.

It could be home-baked buns, they are incredibly delicious.

[–] theragu40@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It could be, or it could be hard tack. We need answers!

I feel like a lot of you never had a good hamburger in your life

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[–] Clown_Tempura@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Both of these look pretty mediocre. wtf are you doing with the cheese? lmao

[–] Hyperi0n@lemmy.film 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Melting it with the heat between thier thighs.

[–] too_much_too_soon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

But who puts the cheese under the pattie?

[–] theKalash@feddit.ch 2 points 1 year ago

Sociopaths, that's who.

I can't wait for lab-grown meat.

"From lab to slab!"

...without a stab!

[–] LakesLem@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] menemen@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I really like fake chicken, but fake beef just isn't there for me yet.

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.

We should make a “just alright food” community

[–] Sused@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 1 year ago

They both look terrible tbh

[–] solstice@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 prefer the Impossible beef. I just think it tastes better.

[–] woodnote@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Agreed. I bought Beyond Meat patties at Costco because mine was out of Impossible and I was sorely disappointed. Impossible or bust!

Beyond, hands down. I got a distaste for real beef burger patties since I had my first vegan burger.

[–] Schwab002@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Hazdaz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] SnowdenHeroOfOurTime@unilem.org 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Falmarri@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That's because beyond is disgusting. Impossible is very close

[–] jimmydoreisalefty@lemmus.org 2 points 1 year ago

What the!

What kind of Real Meat (TM) is that?

The one on the right does look more appealing though...
