I recall when soyburgers first hit the market. Many people thought they were going to get to be the norm. They weren't that healthy, being full of sodium and filler. The aftertaste made them horrible too. Even toothpaste and mouthwash didn't seem to damp it. (Although there are some meatless burgers nowadays that don't seem bad)

If Test-Tube Burger tastes OK, has good texture and is affordable, then I wouldn't mind. That's a lot of hurdles to overcome though.

And like with soy, this manufactured "meat" will be blended with real meat.

Now if you want to really try a good burger, there is nothing like going to Burger Jack's and ordering a Shrimp Burger. It was located behind the embassies in South Korea.

It was actually a pretty good burger. :yep:

actually I once read that a meat-like substance ready to eat they already have created somewhere, it shouldmhave tasted like meat, but not having had its unique and irregular consistency.

I am quite certain they will get there sooner or later. Would hopefully also rid us from antibiotics-infested meat.

many people like baloney, i mean waht in German is called "Fleischwurst". that is meat that get fluidized by adding some encyms, stirred, and then gets solidified again. you do not know what kind of meat it was, from how many different sources. It is just a soft, rosy mass that reminds of marsh mallows, and tastes of many things maybe - but certainly not of meat. I find that much more disgusting to eat than the idea to eat meat that got "farmed" in a test tube, if it has a natural consistency, taste and structure.

Not much meat eating here anyway. I do not make a religion of avoiding meat. I just have lost interest in eating it.

They should do the same test tube thing with fish meat. Fish farming like they do now is a very big environmental problem. some say the local problems are bigger than with concentrated mass farming of cattle. Different to meat, I like to eat fish, Thuna and simple white Salmon. but no Sushi for me, please. I hate Sushi.

No supporters here for kebab meat then? :DL

That's where you'r wrong :DL

WW3 will sort that problem out. :shifty:

When birdflu that spreads directly to other people hits the fan, the trouble with overpopulation is over. On topic: I'd like to see in the future a meat incubator apparatus sold directly to consumers, so everybody could grow their own meat in their kitchen or whatever.

meat incubator! :har:

Nothing can ever replicate the taste of a properly cooked prime rib roast, with succulent aus jus gravy.

I challenge you!

Just like turkey bacon is to bacon, it is just salty, nothing else resembles the taste.

Then I worry about all the chemicals added, as if antibiotics are worse, as some people mention. (enter monsanto conspiracy here)

I wonder what synthetic chemicals they will add, that make it worse in the long run.

Reminds me of a popular sugar subsititute called High Fructose Corn Syrup, who's appearance in our country seems to match the timeline on our obesity epidemic...
( but it is cheaper, can't hurt the "job creators")
Always a negative, I prefer the steroided up cow, I been eating my whole life, to the mystery meat, with added mystery chemicals to replicate taste..

I suppose next we move to soylent green, you all know what that is made of right?

Movie spoiler ahead.....







Soylent green is ......Heh. Gotcha.:yeah::O:

Test-tube doner kebab: just in time to feed the elite survivors of WW3 -- the ones living in underground cities, that is.
