Synthetic meat that’s actually edible/palatable

We have that already and I’ve eaten it.

I’ve tried a lot and have not found any of it very appetizing.

Most has a very rubbery texture as soon as it cools slightly.

Very unpleasant.

I’d rather just not have any meat than have it.

But it you have had the good stuff, please send me your recommendations.

Good synthetic meat exists, it’s just more expensive to produce so you usually can’t buy it at like a corner store or something

I think it depends on what you mean when you say “synthetic meat”.

I use quorn mince when I’m making spaghetti bolognese and lasagne. If you add marmite to the “mince” when you’re doing the initial cook the final dish is indistinguishable from real meat tbh.

I agree that other meat replacements aren’t the same and probably won’t be for a while, although Aldi have recently started selling something that resembles a steak which I want to try.

I refer to - Not meat from animals.
Show threadCorporal_Punishment1d ago
Then what products are you referring to?
Show threaddaannii14h ago

Synthetic meat is the “meat alternative” meat.

Not made from animals. Or at least not from dead animals.

I’m open to synthetic meats made from eggs.

I interpreted this as real meat tissue grown synthetically rather that minced ingredients that mimics meat.
Show threadCorporal_Punishment21h ago

Ah right. I wanted to check, I thought that stuff was ultra rare? Have they started mass producing it?

I totally agree that plant based stuff isn’t the same (although I like it, matter of taste I guess), but I thought the whole point of lab grown would be that it is identical?

It’s hard to synthesize the animal suffering that people crave
Show threadsunbeam601d ago
That is objectively a silly thing to say.

I’m not a vegan but I do believe that eating meat from an animal that suffered it’s whole life surely passes on to the person who consumed it.

I don’t eat meat that often but when I do I always buy free range.

I tell people, even if you can’t go vegetarian or vegan (I’m one of those) you can reduce your consumption of animal products. Be more mindful of wasting animal products and always buy free range when possible.

If everyone scales back a bit that would make a huge difference.
