Last Monday, Cracker Barrel posted a picture of their new plant-based Impossible Sausage patties on their Facebook account. This caused much controversy, with some liking the idea and others hating it.
The post consisted of a picture of multiple breakfast items on a plate, namely Cracker Barrel’s Impossible Sausage. The post received thousands of comments relating to the plant-based meat.
“All the more reason to stop eating at Cracker Barrel,” a Facebook user wrote, “This is not what Cracker Barrel was to be all about.”
Another said, “Oh Noes… the Cracker Barrel has gone WOKE!!! It really is the end times…” One person criticized the haters due to political issues. They typed, “Imagine getting upset because a menu option exists at a restaurant. Relax, Trumpers.”
In response, one of Cracker Barrel’s spokespersons said to NBC News, “At Cracker Barrel, we’re always exploring opportunities to expand how our guests experience breakfast and provide choices to satisfy every taste bud – whether people want to stick with traditional favorites like bacon and sausage or are hungry for a new, nutritious plant-based option like Impossible Sausage.”
For the haters, if you’re going to Cracker Barrel, just ignore the vegetarian meat. There’s no reason for you to end up in an argument with the manager complaining over something you didn’t even eat.
