That pic does look a little dry, but I'm very much looking forward to lab grown burgers. I hope and expect moves such as this are temporary, and as technology and understanding improve, we'll get our cruelty-free and (presumably) lower environmental impact burgers. (And I'd expect texture, juicyness, etc to improve over time.)
I am not a vegetarian but I enjoy many of the vegetarian choices for meat, from original gardenburgers through very nearly every other similar product I've tried. (I have not tried anything from Impossible except their sausage on a sandwich from dunkin donuts) But while they are nearly all very good for their own sake, none that I've run across have been true replacements for a burger.
Yeah, totally. Like any new product it will take some experimenting. I think I read it's exceptionally lean, but tender, more like veal minus the cruelty. I get why they went burger, but almost certain to have better uses (STEAK!).
Not a fan of most of the impossible stuff, still tastes too earthy, but I love seitan and good tofu used well.
Temporary or not, these sort of bans will delay the growth (pun not intended, but I'll take it) of these industries when time is of the essence. But Italy's government is not exactly forward thinking at the moment.
That is a great point!
iirc, it's basically the most lean meat you can get because they haven't done the whole growing fat thing yet, just the muscle.
