Line up for your very own hamburger grown in a petri dish!! Volunteer tasters concurred that it tasted "close to meat".

Here's the "faux" burger fried up and ready to serve. It does look tasty.

Don't forget to read the "insect-based" burger information.

You want that "beetle-burger" with mustard?

I'll stay with my Soylent Green, thank you very much. Maybe the next fad will be faux 'long pork'.

Good flick! Still makes the wife sick just thinking about it but that keeps all the chips on my side of the table. :coolsmile:

Makes me kinda queasy too actually. You'd never really know what cellular matter they started with, could be Soylent Green for all we'd know.

You'll have to add your own green food coloring, but...

Yes, this is a real product. Welcome to the twenty-first century.

If it doesn't come in green then I don't want it!

No. Just no.

Mind you, I would eat proper insect foods, if they weren't so scandalously expensive. Why do the people who tout insects as the "food of the future" and "the only meat we'll be able to afford" always make them so parasitically unaffordable? There's something fishy going on there, and I don't mean shrimps.

You don't mean, Richard, that we're getting prawned?

Quite; they expect us to shell out, but it's all just a sting.
