People often ask what meat I miss most. Lobster tail and venison carpaccio, since you're asking. But those won't be available in cultivated form for quite a while.
The first products will be simpler. Burgers, nuggets, mince - things where the muscle structure is less complex. The technology for replicating more intricate cuts is still years away.
But honestly? After 13 years without meat, even a proper beef burger would be incredible. I'm both excited and nervous about trying it.
Will it taste how I remember? Will my body even know what to do with it anymore? Will it feel strange or natural?
These aren't questions I ever expected to be asking myself as a vegan. The idea of eating any kind of meat again seemed impossible for years.
But that's what makes cultivated meat so revolutionary. It's not just a new product - it's a new way of thinking about what meat actually is.
