3D-printed steak, anyone? I taste test this ‘gamechanging’ meat mimic Marco Pierre White is championing Redefine Meat’s products, but do they live up to the hype?

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.

Hey, if they want to do that more power to ‘em.

I’d even try it…maybe. I’ve had some fake meat sausage in a stew that was darn good.

Just don’t try to FORCE me to eat it or that’s an entirely different story.

Taste is irrelevant.

It’s what it does to the human body that is critical.

Ugh. I’d eat something ‘extruded’ from the kids Play-Doh Machine before I’d eat that!

Excuse me while I run to the barn and give my beef steer a big old HUG, some warm beer, sweet oats and a massage, LOL! ;)

We're talking about the same people who want to force every person on the planet to get a vax, regardless of whether they already have natural immunity. They're Leftists and they 'know' they're right and will force their beliefs on everyone else.

“They’re Leftists and they ‘know’ they’re right and will force their beliefs on everyone else.”

EXACTLY. I suspect most people here still don’t get it. Meat WILL be gone, once they have the power to do so. (Just a bit more for you NeverRINOs to consider, when you choose to let Democrats win)

Meat will be gone for us.

Not them.

Personally, I think vegans should thank me. No telling how much of their food that beef I have in my freezer could have eaten in a lifetime.
