I was raised of a lot of microwaved things and 70s style casseroles of packaged ingredients, so I’ve spent a bit of time trying to get used to better foods, especially fresh veg, as neither the taste or texture are things I was raised on. If I can figure out which it is about things that bother me, it makes adjusting to it easier, like roasted veggies I can generally accept much faster than boiled/steamed/sautéed. Also just dressing them up certain ways can go a long way.
That just made me curious if it was the concept of ground beef in and of itself that you didn’t like, or if you didn’t like any type of ground protein or any cut of beef.
Well, I’m from beef country and a meat packing family. So I don’t think it’s the flavor. It may stem from some snobbery.
That being said I did eat a lot of it growing up. Maybe I just had my fill.
Some of it is that whole if you know what’s in the sausage thing. I don’t know that I’ve really thought about it too much. It’s more like I just never need it for what I’m cooking so I don’t buy it.
I feel like I’d be more inclined to try it, but I’ve never been a fan of ground beef.
I know it’s a staple and every one eats it, but honestly it’s just never been my favorite.
The beef flavor or the ground meat texture?
I like Beyond because it has a meatish flavor, but I think the flavor is very unique.
Well, I’m not too sure I’ve thought of it like that to be honest.
Maybe both? Idk. I think they do have them at some fast food places, so I’ll probably try a burger sooner or later.
I know that when I had a bocca burger, they were consistently so much better that I sort of quit eating regular burgers.
I guess they went under and I just never replaced them and it just hasn’t come up much since.
I mean, I’ll eat it to be polite, but I was raised to and don’t bother if I don’t have to.

I always find it intriguing how differently we all operate!
