Heavily processed fake meat

The Quorn revolution: the rise of ultra-processed fake meat | Life and style | The Guardian

Quorn is a kind of vegetarian fake meat that is made from soil-fungus mycelium. That is the "body" of the fungus, a mat of strands of it. The best-known food fungus is mushrooms, but mushrooms are fruiting bodies, not mycelium.

The fungus is grown in vats, where it is fed glucose, the vitamin biotin, and various minerals. The glucose comes from crop plants.

Quorn is one of the numerous vegetarian fake meats that have become common. Fake meats like gardenburgers and veggie dogs.

To be plausible fake meats, however, a lot of processing is necessary, and people wanting to avoid processed food while being vegetarians have an awkward dilemma.

I expected awesome porn.

You'll have to settle for awesome quorn then, I guess.

Also, I googled 'quorn porn' and as far as I can see, disproved Rule 34.

Now that you've gone and mentioned it on the internet, it will become a thing.

For people who don't want to beat their real meat?

There is also stem cell hamburger - that is meat grown from cow stem cells. No farm pollution, no animal rights issues, and the end of cow tipping.

Had to laugh when I saw this. Just imagining right wingers claiming they're made of human fetuses.

They don't serve burgers at pizza joints where you're from?

I like quorn. It takes sauces and marinades nice. Acts like meat but doesn't give my body the fits that meat gives.

Not wanting rule 34 to be violated....

I knew it! Ruby sparks, see what you did???

Just about everything Quorn makes is great. The one problem is that some people are allergic to it, but don't typically know until they eat it.

I like everything but those chicken strips. Morningstar kicks their butts with the chicken strips. I saw Quorn came out with a beef strip. Morningstar had a great beef strip but it is gone.

While I would prefer less processed food, I do need to have some standard of living that is worth living. Don't drink, smoke... I'm going to eat processed veggie/soy meats.

I'm an omnivore. I don't want my veggie burgers to taste like real burgers. If I want something that tastes and feels like a real burger, I will eat a real burger. If I want a veggie burger, then I want something that tastes like spicy vegetable mush with grill marks.

 

[Underseer]

So needless to say, I'm not using that Qorn crap either. If I want something that tastes like real chicken, I'll eat real chicken.

Now, if someone can make lab grown meat that tastes good and costs the same, then I'm all for that.

Unless 'food porn' quorn counts...

If not, let me know.

All i'd do is crib a foodie story and where the hero says 'I always get so hot when you eat chicken' have the love interest announce that no animals were harmed, the enviro, etc. And he'd storm out in rage because that's the whole POINT...

Where’s the beef? For Impossible Foods it’s in boosting burger sales and raising hundreds of millions | TechCrunch -- some vegetarian fake meat that closely resembles the real thing.

Meat substitutes: the startups ditching animals from meat | WIRED UK from last year

The clean meat industry is racing to ditch its reliance on foetal blood | WIRED UK -- when I learned of that, I concluded that it was major cheating.

It is done because it supplies very convenient nutrition, but it is also very expensive.

Finless Foods is planning to go serum-free by the end of 2018 and release its first lab-grown fish paste by the end of 2019, but to pull off both those feats the startup needs to find an alternative source of growth protein. These could be made by microbial fermentation, the same process that is used to create vegetarian versions of the enzyme rennet, which is used in cheese production. Finless Foods is also considering algal or fungal extracts.

Just, a clean meat company that was previously called Hampton Creek, is going down a different route for its animal serum alternative. The company, which is building a database of different plants and analysing each one to find species that could supply the growth factors and other nutrients that dividing cells need.

I assumed that was a reference to Hillary’s fetus parts ring with pizza parlors.

Stem-cell burgers => right wing fetuses => for sale by HIllary => at pizza joints

 

[LordKiran]

Seems pointless to me. The appeal of meat isnt the meat, its the fat and oil that it comes with. Hard to imagine being able to accurately replicate the flavor of cooked animal grease in three meat pasta sauce or a bacon double cheese burger.

They don't have an awkward dilemma. They just use special pleading fallacies and ignore the fact that some of these fake meats are highly processed foods with "lots of chemicals" in them (even making that last argument requires not understanding what a chemical is, but whatever).
