The appearance, odor, and flavor of this dish are reminiscent of chicken.
You won’t believe this, but the meat on my plate didn’t come from a farm. Just a few miles down the road, there’s an industrial estate where a laboratory made it.
The only restaurant in the world serving cultivated meat is Huber’s Butchery and Bistro in Singapore.
According to the owner of the restaurant, the feedback from customers has been nothing short of phenomenal.
According to the California-based company, Eat Just, the creator of the meat, it is considered to be both ethical and environmentally friendly, and they insist that the taste is uncompromised. Despite the fact that billions of dollars have been invested in the industry, there are still significant doubts about its long-term viability beyond being a mere novelty.
Dozens of companies from around the world have entered the race to bring affordable cultivated meat to market since the debut of the first lab-grown burger in London in 2013, which was a costly $330,000 (£263,400) endeavor.
While there are several companies attempting to get their lab-grown meat products approved for sale, as of now, only Eat Just has succeeded in doing so. This occurred in December of 2020, in Singapore, which is currently the only country that permits the sale of lab-grown meat.
