    I haven’t had the chance to try fake fish yet.

    Maybe they should go for something a little more exotic, say ostrich or crocodile. Close to flavors people know, but they’d go into with a more open mind. Maybe too novel though to be a lasting success though. I’ll leave that to the marketing people.

      I wonder if we’ll ever get a blue raspberry of meats - something that doesn’t exist at all in nature. The trick is that most Anglos are pretty picky about what kind of land meat they will eat to start with.

        That’s really what I look forward to most is an infinite flavor palette. My family hunts, do we’ve tried quite a number of things over the year. An endless availability of passable antelope or cougar meat that didn’t hurt living things would be amazing to me.

        Though it’s not neon blue and more of a blackberry black, I thought Blue Raspberry was based on the flavor of Rubus leucodermis, the Whitebark Raspberry which grows in the Pacific Northwest?

          Wow, that’s news to me if so, I’ll have to look it up.

          Edit: Nope, Wikipedia at least says it was just made up.

            in theory youre right.

            but meat industry lobbyists woud surely try to take advantage of the outrage.

            i vaguely remember a post on reddit on this topic.

            something like “artesinal celebrety meat”

            which of course turned out to be an “artistic project” or something trying to
            “highlight the moral issues” with lab meat,
            or some other horseshit.

            EDIT: here’s the post i was talking about

              I’m really damn worried about what the meat industry will do going forwards. The oil lobby got pretty crazy with a lot less pre-existing cultural fodder.

                im staying optimistic, as long as it will be cheaper, the fastfood industry will massivly lobby in favor of it, and imo. mostly balance that out.

                it will probably just have an awfull reputation, like mcnuggets “pink sludge”

                  It is kind of interesting that the cool hipster thing has gone from all-natural ingredients to literally actually synthetic lab meat in the space of a few years.

                    i kinda doubt you are talking about the same people here(mostly)

                    at least id say im a “tech bro” not a hipster.

                    i never gave a shit about “all natural” stuff, i dont care about msg, preservatives or Transglutaminase (a.k.a. Meat Glue)

                    heck, i even thought that “pink sludge” is kinda based, when i first learned of it.
