Can't blame you.

I think that's why I'm a bit skeptical about the concept of lab grown beef. Will it taste like meat or like quorn?


I'm under the impression it tastes like meat, because it's real meat - real beef protein and muscle makeup, at least. However since it's not actual muscle with all the tendons and everything, it has the texture of jam.

EDIT: I was literally wrong in every possible way :P http://pickyglutton.com/2013/08/09/lab-grown-meat/

Yeah, I don't blame you :P

Still looks fake - wayyy too uniform. Partially because they don't know how to make animal fat yet, unfortunately.

It's also a bit expensive just to try - we could split one of those for $125,000 each.

It's telling me to replace a cartridge and won't let me do anything else.

Why the can't it let me check the other ink levels? Now I have to take all of them to the store to get them refilled without even knowing if they're empty or not.
