\"Starbucks<\/p>\n

What is the Starbucks Impossible Breakfast Sandwich?<\/h3>\n

Starbucks has entered the plant-based sausage revolution with its new Impossible Breakfast Sandwich.<\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

Burger King’s reign on top was short, because one week after claiming the Impossible Croissan’wich was my favorite plant-based breakfast sandwich<\/a>, Starbucks has already dethroned it.<\/p>\n

I’d put the new Starbucks Impossible Sausage on par with any breakfast meat \u2013 cow, pig, chicken, or plant \u2013 currently on a fast food menu.<\/p>\n

Right out of the gate, I was relieved that the sausage patty didn’t have that “vague sagey Stove Top” flavor I always whine about.<\/p>\n

\"Starbucks<\/p>\n

Flavor-wise, I’d say it toed the line between a standard breakfast sausage and Italian butcher shop spiral sausage links, or as my mother would call them (my apologies for the phonetic spelling) “Shiv-a-lots” (pronounced with a bastardized Brooklyn Italian accent).<\/p>\n

I took a bite of the patty isolated, and while the texture is still not 100% where I’d like it to be, it was less chewy than the others I’ve had to this point.<\/p>\n

I give Starbucks credit for its eggs as well. It’s a fried egg, but the yolk was closer to soft-boiled, and the whites weren’t plastic, like the stuff McDonald’s serves.<\/p>\n

Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n

\"Starbucks<\/p>\n

I expected the bread to be the downfall because I usually think ciabatta is a trash-tier sandwich bun, but it was perfect. The shell was crispy while the inside was pillowy soft. It was like eating a bagel that came out of the oven two minutes before you ordered.<\/p>\n

I could have easily just caught them at the right time, but every ingredient, including the aged cheddar, paired perfectly to make a delicious and perfectly sized sandwich. It curbed my hunger without that immediate fast food regret we all know so well.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

I won’t pretend I get a lot of food at Starbucks, but this is easily the best savory menu item I’ve ever ordered there.<\/p>\n

We’re now at the point where you won’t even notice you’re not eating meat, and I continue to think that’s an exciting prospect for the future. Not to push an agenda, but if science can further distance plant-based proteins from real meat nutritionally, we’re all gonna be better off in the long run.<\/p>\n

Absolutely pick up one of these next time you get a coffee.<\/p>\n
