I've tried Impossible Burger once in a some random bar. Was dissatisfied - texture was ok, but had weird after taste.
Also tried to cook some Beyond Meat burgers the other week. The stench was horrible, even my roommates noticed. Topped with mayo, garlic butter, bbq sauce and onions it did kinda hide the horrible flavour, but still I couldn't finish it. I could feel that horrible flavour for a day or two after.
Really had big hopes for it and will definitely try again, but for now it's a joke.
Don't forget they are really selling a wider cknversation/story/narrative/worldview than just the meat. To focus too much on the product itself might therefore be a mistake.
I don't disagree that those are nicer items, I've had them countless times myself.. but I think you may be missing the "point" of Beyond Meat if you solely talk about the taste or macronutrients.
I think the promise they selling is that science can make it better than regular meat (I think it's certainly possible with genetically engineered stem cell meat), but I am not seeing that yet.
