Would you eat a Test Tube Burger??

After years of research, finally someone got to taste burger made in a lab not on a farm! They used stem cells in a culture dish and cooked it up in front of reporters and was taste-tested by Chicago-based author and food writer Josh Schonwald and Austrian food researcher Hanni Rutzler.

They were pleasantly surprised by how juicy it was but the first comment was that it wasn't unpleasant!!

Is this what we are going to? Food created in culture dishes?? Yikes, I like my garden fresh tomatoes and peppers....and deer from the backyard :)

"There is quite some intense flavor," Rutzler said, although she added that it needed seasoning. "The look was quite similar to meat. It has quite a bite."
She added: "The surface of the meat was crunchy — surprisingly. The taste itself was as juicy as meat can be, but different. It tastes like meat, not a meat substitute like soya or whatever."

I would like to compare it to venison, which is a staple in our household!! They claim there are no natural fats in this meat, so I bet it is a little gamey compared to farm fed beef!
