Taking "food tech" a little too far... fake meat that "tastes like human flesh"?

[VirtualLarry]

Cannibals with a conscience rejoice: Fake human meat burgers are here

"No humans were injured in the development of this product," the company said.

I mean, WHY would we as a society WANT to cultivate a taste for this? For gosh sakes, we "put down" (kill) animals that develop a taste for human flesh.

Is this a pre-cursor to the "zombie apocolypse", cultivating humans with a taste for human flesh?

SICK!

 

[sandorski]

In the same way others "taste like beef"?

 

[IronWing]

How do they know?

Isn't human meat pig meat with flair...or so I've heard?

WARNING! - Long and very disturbing.

morbius could really use this

Raw meat is supposed to be a delicacy in Africa, much like some people are addicted to sushi. But human meat taste? For the sake of humanity, everyone involved in this project should be sentenced to life in prison. Anyone addicted to that taste will seek out real human meat next!

Have to admit I'd have a morbid curiosity to try it. The plant based stuff not the real thing.

But yeah this seems like an odd thing to do lol.

Try snake meat. Heard from a guy who liked trying out stuff. I didn't hear him complain.

I've had rattlesnake several times. It's not very exciting at all if you've had fried calamari or octopus.... just slightly chewy white meat with very mild flavor.

Much like alligator (which tastes similar btw) it's not something I'd go out of my way to eat again however if it were served to me I wouldn't hesitate to chow down.

I hope you don't do that too frequently. You know what they say: "You are what you eat". Unless you wanna be the snake pleasing the lady

Meat's meat. A large portion of the animal kingdom either tastes like chewy chicken or kinda like a weird pork. We actually picked docile (or mostly docile) things that tasted different and cultivated them to taste the way we wanted.

Can't tell if "things" here mean animals. If animals, cultivate how?

Rattle-snakes and Alligators are "docile" ??

Nope, that's why for the most part we don't farm them. Cow, pig, chicken... We love those fuzzy things.

 

[KidNiki1]

so did anyone actually read the article?
it was a marketing campaign released around halloween to garner interest in plant based meat substitutes.

"LOLA MullenLowe, Madrid the agency behind the campaign, said they wanted to "convince" meat-lovers that plant-based products could "replicate the taste of any meat"."

they aren't trying to get people to actually want to be cannibals.

I tried crocodile jerky on a floating crocodile farm in Cambodia, it was decent and they gave you this really good sauce for it. You could also pay to toss a catfish into the crocodile pit, didn't do that myself though.

Vegan trash are vegan trash. Any fucking monkey not tainted by delusion knows that "plants"(and fungi and algae) are maintenance and bookkeeping foods for micros, but not for growth and strength.

Of course the "taste" can be replicated, since meat is bland and tasteless without salt and spices. But not the metabolic and biological results.

If I had to make a tier list in terms of protein satisfaction it'd be
Good response:
Fatty red meat
Pig liver
Chicken thighs
Tofu/peanut butter
Fishes and molluks
No/bad response:
Milk-based products
Nasty lean meats
Most other Plant matter
Last two suck to high heaven and so does milk/cheese/yogurt suck slightly less.

Shhh, that would require the OP to actually read and know what he's talking about instead of spouting off. I actually like the guy, but he's about one nut shy of turning into RedSquirrel.

Anyone remember the old manbeef.com site from back in the earlier days of the internet?

People are addicted to vinegar rice?
