I think it depends on what you mean when you say "synthetic meat".

I use quorn mince when I'm making spaghetti bolognese and lasagne. If you add marmite to the "mince" when you're doing the initial cook the final dish is indistinguishable from real meat tbh.

I agree that other meat replacements aren't the same and probably won't be for a while, although Aldi have recently started selling something that resembles a steak which I want to try.

I interpreted this as real meat tissue grown synthetically rather that minced ingredients that mimics meat.

Ah right. I wanted to check, I thought that stuff was ultra rare? Have they started mass producing it?

I totally agree that plant based stuff isn't the same (although I like it, matter of taste I guess), but I thought the whole point of lab grown would be that it is identical?

Don't know actually. I've never heard of it for sale. Turns out that wasn't what they meant, but I wouldn't have thought it was so hard to make.

I refer to - Not meat from animals.

[–] Corporal_Punishment@feddit.uk 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Then what products are you referring to?

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Synthetic meat is the "meat alternative" meat.

Not made from animals. Or at least not from dead animals.

I'm open to synthetic meats made from eggs.
