Exotic printed meat

[wtfNeedSignUp]

Please no "printed meat is cancer/goyslop", yeah we all now it's very iffy quality but that's been talked to hell.

The meat alternative market seems like a bust, and one of the things I never understood is having printed meat of common domestic animals. This seems to be counter intuitive since the fledging industry now needs to compete with what people are used to having their entire life without any real advantage in cost or health, even the ethical standpoint is pointless since people would see it more fashionable to be vegans instead.

The thing I wonder about is why not have printed meat of exotic/endangered/extinct animals instead? This way you'll have a huge market of people who will try it at least once just for the curiosity. Then if it's good they'll adapt it to recipes that can't be done with common meat. This would at least give some base consumers to the meat without the alienating vegan label, which can be expanded to replacing usual meat.

Your thoughts? Would you try dodo/mamooth meat?

Just eat the elderly. Save on pension and healthcare costs, whilst recycling too.

And then what?

Mamooth meat has been eaten before. Not a big deal.
You fail to understand that a lot of food today is palpable because it was raised that way.
Pigs are de-nutted so the meat isn't gamey. Male chickens are ground up because they gain mass slower and so on...

Exotic meat is only interesting because its exotic. Printed dodo slop (that you can not every verify against the taste of real dodo) has literally no appeal over just getting some chicken at aldi.

Something akin to this was big in 'molecular gastronomy' 10+ years ago. They'd take thin slices of various meats and glued them together to make """"new"""" meats, oftentimes weird stuff combo'd with common stuff.

Exotic Printed Meat sounds like something Longmont Potion Castle would make up to troll a prank call victim.

The biggest issue seems to be the cost to produce printed meat on any scale. I don't think appealing to a niche market would really change that, even if you had very rich people paying for a tiny handful of eggheads who do this in their spare time? They just can't make it work with any profitability at the current point in time.

Unfortunately I learned what "Boar Taint" was the hard way and it also left an icky smell on my skin that didn't disappear for a year following. This was after buying cheap pork from my local supermarket I faintly knew had iffy quality produce. Oddly, I had wild boar meat that tasted great and didn't stink like that so I have to ask, how much could it cost to cut a fucking pigs balls off??

I had plans of hiring poachers to steal a pair of Galapagos tortoises* so I could secretly farm them and feast on their delicious meat.

I suppose printing Galapagos tortoise meat is easier, so I'm all for it. I must eat the tortoise.

It might encourage poaching. For that "natural" angle.

Not a huge meat fan and I don't think I'd want to eat a 3D printed dodo when I can just have chicken. I wonder though, would someone try to print human meat?

soy green is pepol~

 

[Whatevermancer]

Probably not. There's already plenty of moderately exotic meat that I couldn't care less about: rabbit, kangaroo, venison, etc.

 

[Absolutego]

Elephant is pretty mid as far as red meat goes, I wouldn't put much stock in the potential of mammoth meat.
As an avid carnivore I kind of feel like there's enough interesting species to try to eat that resurrecting dead ones is a little pointless.

I'm surprised it lasted a year. Some wild boars are also dennuted and released. Unless caught it yourself its always questionable.
Cost is pretty low, little pigglets get mechanical snipper and wound is cauterized with heat. Usually without anesthesia. There's also an option of rubber bands but it takes a while for things to die and animals are prone to infection.

Wait does this mean my Dino nuggets are not actual dinosaur meat?

 

[Betonhaus]

imitation human flesh might sell well

Noomomononnmm..... mmmmm meat.... nice and stringy... nonoonmm

 

[Betonhaus]

i wonder how hard it would be to make a home hamburger 3d printer? Just stick a tube of ground meat in it and have it print interesting shapes with maybe some marbelization with fat or cheese or whatever.

Instead of wasting time on trying to print overpriced cancer meat they should be focusing on printing muscle or bone to attempt to profit off the people who want to be taller or more muscular. Though the better thing would be to print organs so transplants can be tailor made so your immune system does not try to kill you while also kicking the black market organ trade in the balls.

 

[Grub]

No. Because I'll always know it's not the real thing and that it's just some man made gimmick. It's the same reason why going and looking at actual ancient artifacts or historical pieces of art or something is actually kind of cool while looking at recreations of those things is lame.
