Across four major cities – London, Amsterdam, Berlin and Tel Aviv – a new meat was born, containing precisely no animal. The London champion of the company, Redefine Meat, is the celebrity chef Marco Pierre White. At Mr White’s in Leicester Square, chefs, investors and barbecue and burger connoisseurs – as well as former winners of MasterChef – gathered to taste it.
The tone of the event was set by the offering of a pipette of “blood” – “Doesn’t it taste like blood, though?” asked an excited waiter. Well, yes. But memo from the world of carnivore: blood is more something we put up with than something we actively want to drink.
“I’ve had vegans complaining that this is too much like meat,” said Redefine Meat’s chief executive and founder, Eshchar Ben-Shitrit. “Personally, I don’t eat meat. I think it’s wrong to kill animals and eat them. But in order to get the flexitarian, it’s better to disregard the opinion of the vegan.”
Plant-based meat alternatives are nothing new, and the recent boom in demand from part-time vegetarians, or flexitarians, has fed a surge in innovation, from seitan to pea protein products. Yet this is an unarguable technological breakthrough. While a mince texture has been achievable for some time, plant-based whole cuts – which is to say, a cut that has the mouthfeel and the appearance of a steak, or a lamb chop – have long been considered beyond man’s wit.

No way.
My meat already comes from a plant.
The meat packing plant...
Probably needs some Knorr Stock Pots.
Real meat from cattle is already plant based.
Deranged
He never once tells us if he likes it.
Nuff said.
Marco likes it but his money is riding on it.
I am a second hand vegetarian.......................
So stupid.
So done with this hyper-technology everything. Including RAPID PROTOTYPING.
And BTW, if meat is not part of our nature, why do vegetarians (that’s what they are to be accurate instead of made-up) need to have something sub for meat?
Pass. Give my share to Pajama Boy.
Plants are what actual food eats.
Exactly. Concentrated plants. Amazingly delicious.
I don’t care how this might taste. Any meat I eat has to have been walking around at some point. Rather than eat this, I would go vegan, and I wouldn’t cheat with fake meat.
But…but…but… methane from cows! Don’t you care about the environment? Don’t you want, like a good lib, to find something else to be insufferably self-righteous about?
I like to say that I am a vegetarian by proxy. :)
We went grocery shopping last night and my wife was amazed at the rise in prices, since we haven’t been grocery shopping for a couple of months.
“We ought to become vegetarians to lose some weight.” she said after moving past the frozen meat section.
“You mean like elephants?” I said.
That was the end of that subject..............
