Would you eat lab grown meat ?!

If it taste like the real thing ?

Apparently scientists are extremely close now to being able to synthesize meat, the only hold back now seems to be the flavour.

I definitely would because it's sustainable, atm I am only eating pork and chicken, I will occasionally eat beef, but it's by no means a staple of my diet.

I would dominate the fuck out of some lab meet

Yeah flavour isn't important at all

I would only eat it if it had a soul.

Fail to see where I said flavour wasn't important. Did you actually have anything to contribute ? Are your language skills this poor that you fail to comprehend the basic question presented to you ? Is it possible you suffer from some form of mental retardation ? Have you been tested for dyslexia ? Do you have an extra chromosome ? Did you have a mass atrophy of neural impulses when you crafted this reply ? Have you ever loved somebody so much you can barely breathe when you are wit' em ?

If the flavour and nutritional value were comparable, and I'm convinced it's safe, then yup I would.

same here....lol@resist ...you crack me up

Hmm after reading that article you linked on facebook yesterday, i'm not sure how I could be convinced it was safe.

n/y/y/y/y/y/n I'd say

Only if it was forced to do proper exercise in the lab

I eat other things created in a lab, so I don't see why not. Not really sure how I feel about it though.

At this point it does not sound too appealing.

Neither does caviar, but it's fucking delicious.

As with anything I'd let the early adopters be guinea pigs first.

Hang on... What if we could have bacon and beef in one slab of meat? Not just strips of bacon on top but fused into one mouthwatering super steak. Crayfish scallops, pork and lamb chops... The future f**king rules.

Bring it.

hmm and instead of chicken wrapped in bacon, we could just have facon breasts.

oops.. facon is my word for 'chicken bacon'. just fyi

Would the texture of meat be that or real meat or that of the processed slop that comes to us via anything that is not from a butcher of some sort...

Oh and the nutritional breakdown the same... Aside from quite enjoying meat that is really my biggest reason for eating it.

Foul and bacon?

Fake bacon obviously.

And it's Fowl.

Agree with Jono, Ive dreamed about crossing a crayfish with bacon.

The best meat on meat combo ever.

Got post election blues resist?



Pretty major component of eating/enjoying meat wouldn't you think?

Get the flavour right and I don't see why not...

If you read all of my questions you would see I was taking the piss, and what was the first question in my post I asked? That you seem to have somehow omit from my response ?

One could argue that flavour can't be that important anyway what with all the hideous marinades out there.

who marinades steak? fucken opies.

That ^^

I even frown on salt on pepper on my aged scotch fillet.

Not a fan of marinade on any meat.

Now that's just crazy talk.

I don't get the appeal of aged it has to be fresh and bloody

You only age high quality beef. Save the bright red/pink stuff for shitty cuts. You want it dark and marbled.

I dont eat shitty cuts

Not at all, meat of such quality doesn't need to be seasoned.

You can still have a rare aged steak.

Yes, it does...salting helps to draw moisture to the surface and create a crust on the meat then locking the moisture in

Every chef in the world will liberally season steaks no matter what cut prior to cooking, but if you want to believe they're all wrong, go right ahead

So? I don't have every chef in the world cooking in my kitchen do I? I take said steak, I cook it perfectly without seasoning it then I enjoy eating it while you're under the table licking my balls.

Hmmm... looks a little smarmy. Replace it with a :>

Bahahahahah. told.

I don't get it.. why would you not season it? Yes, I'm sure your steak is super delicious anyway (sincerely) - but there are pretty universally accepted reasons why seasoning is better, it's not the same as whether you ilke sauce on fries or not etc.. get on board! :>

Nope. Don't like it.

welcome to Thursday in which biggies debate the proper way to cook a steak... been here before... yes 17000 times

have your steak the way YOU like it and experts be damned

and if they develop lab grown meat... I'd like human to be added to the fake meat treats on offer

cannibals or those human eater wanna bes are a much under appreciated potential market

Either you'd got some whacked taste buds, or you've got psychological problems.

bet he wears socks to the beach too

If you have your steak properly, your taste perception will develop and refine. Just like with cheese, wine etc. You can stick with your cask sav and cheddar though, no worries

No, your opinion is wrong in this case.

It has nothing to do with your personal opinion or taste. The fact that so many professionals all share the same opinion means they're right and you're wrong.

You have bad taste in food.

Someone set up a blind taste test...3 cuts of beef, 2 pieces of each, 1 seasoned and one not...results would be quite interesting

dude I smoke, like I can taste anything...

take that experts.... our pallets are not uniform

unlike your lovely lovely cask wine

*hugs the bladder hidden under his short and takes a sip*

People can have their steak however they like, they just need to be prepared to be looked down upon and judged for their choice.





FWIW, well done steak is a far worse crime than unseasoned. But I always knew dalai was a little bit strange like that. :>

I have limits and well done is a waste of meat

though if gordon says no its perhaps time to rethink that position

Knew a muscle head once who boiled his steak. He was (and presumably still is) a dick.

Mmmmmmmm Milk steak boiled over hard

I prefer my steak well done with no seasoning as well. :>

YOUR OPINION IS WRONG!!!!1

Very, very wrong.

scientists confirmed this morning the lab grown meat experiment was an abject failure

head researcher Kim Lan was heard to mutter something about steak wankers as he was taken away by the head of the NZ meat board for re-education

Some people are scared of blood, though most girls quickly learn to deal with it around puberty.

wonder if I could swap 6 magic beans for some unicorn goodness for my dinner

so want me some sparkles

Ill swap 6 magic bean for some Johnny Rotten flavored bacon snacks. (as the name suggests, they taste 'orrible)

Doesn't matter, since what comes out of packaged meat isn't blood.

http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2010/04/the-red-juice-in-raw-red-meat-is-not-blood/

I repeat.... so?

I like my steak unseasoned. Now fuck all y'all. Everybody has their weird little things when it comes to food. That's mine you cunts.

But don't go lumping me in with that well done crowd, I like my scotch fillet rare.

Bollocks. I can think of 2 more of your food things that are even weirder

Like what?

By the way, would you like a side of peas with your steak Kris? :>

Do you really? Or do you just think you do.

Try it next time, cook one piece seasoned and one not

Also, do you salt/pepper it post cooking, or just none at all?

Uh yeah I have had seasoned steak before. And yes I seasoned it before cooking. I just prefer it al natural.

Isn't that what we're talking about?

I <3 Lab Meat

Ahhhh yes?

<_<
>_>
<_<


Sorry, what?

Why not? Which part seems unsafe to you?

You just said that you seasoned before cooking... So when you've maintained this whole time that you don't season your steak, were you only referring to post-cooking seasoning or something?!

Read the link and put your tinfoil hat on. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/justin-stoneman/post_868_b_720398.html

I don't think it would be not safe, I just don't know if you could trust that it was safe. I'm not sure that makes sense

The meat that's being developed in European nations would be tainted by the US food industry ?

<does not follow>

No I was just replying to Insanity's question about whether I had tried it seasoned before.

LRN2RDS!

The butter thing and 'hey these dog biscuits are actually pretty good'

Peas are just dirty :>

I get my peas from a lab

its a pea lab

I'll get my coat

Pretty sure I was high with the dog biscuits thing. And hey... I'd eat fuckin cardboard and polystyrene if I got the munchies bad enough. :>

Butter is just gross. I much prefer mayo on my sandwiches thank you very much.

No, if the US food industry is like that, who is to say that other food industries around the world are not corrupt also.

*facepalm*

Way to generalise.

safer to just stop eating anything Just

Well, considering i'm not actually a conspiracy believer, I don't actually believe that the government could be hiding that the meat was unsafe, I was just saying if you were worried about it being unsafe, there is no real way to be really sure.

I agree with your neil, you can't really be sure if anything is safe that you're eating so no point being worried about it really.

I've got to put my quizzical face on and say "Huh?" here. I read the link and I still have no idea how you link it with lab grown meat. Have you a particular concern about the safety of actually consuming the meat, or a worry about a mutant meat monster arising from the petri dish and running amok?

I'm a cock

Biggest concern would be liberal meat setting up tent in some hippy communist occupy colon movement :>

Ask Yak - he was the one who questioned that it might not be safe. I have no idea how it would not be safe, I wouldn't even begin to think how the process of making labmeat worked. Maybe its the whole GM thing that people have been worried about I don't know, I never had a problem with GM.

I was more linking it to the fact that any new product that comes on the market these days could be funded by corporate companies pushing their own agenda. If you got told it was safe by the government, how could you believe it was if they were being funded by the same corporate company selling the meat. I told you - total conspiracy theory. Actually they had a story last night on 20/20 about doctors/antidepressants/pharmaceutical compannies that ran in the same vein. They got a doctor who was on the advisory board to give up his shares in Pfizer as he realised it might be misconstrued as being a confict of interest.

The only way for people to know if it's safe or not would be if people understood the process behind it. Unfortunately most people think it's beyond them (it's really not btw) which gives other groups an opportunity to spread their own fear campaigns. Same thing happened with GM.

Better education about the product might be the answer. But it would have to come from organisations that are neutral. No already skeptical person is going to believe Acme Meat Growing Co's claims that their meat is safe. That whole area of science meets marketing is kind of interesting.

products like lab grown meat will flourish or not based on peoples perception of if its safe or not, not the actual facts

the branding, the packaging, the advertising all will determine how safe this meat seems... though saying that any synthetic meat will no doubt be marketed as the real mccoy as thats the logical thing to do, lie

educated people want organic meat... hand grown vegetables and crockery made by a doctor looking for a creative pursuit

its the uneducated that will be deamed the target market for this mass marketed 'spam'

When the world inevitably turns to shit we'll all be eating lab grown everything anyway. No real loss in the meantime

I've already foreseen this

Yeah I wasn't referring to anything specific; only that I'd be reading extensively about it (like I do with nearly all food these days) and wouldn't eat it if I didn't think it was safe for any reason. There's heaps of ways it could be unsafe really.

a little bit of seasoning will hide the unsafe, just ask the experts

Pretty sure they already have lab grown meat anyway....







They just call them sizzlers. :>

Well, if you've ever had Macca's then you've eaten lab grown something, as they inject in to their potatoes a cocktail of chemicals (which are synthetic) with the purpose of recreating the "beef lard" flavor that was present when they used to cook their fries in lard.
Pretty much the same thing really innit?

I read a book once.

I ate a lab grown book once... the words tasted like a coverup

Sounds American.
