What's On Your Plate???

[kronin323]

Not on my plate, but I was reading elsewhere about a new meat alternative called "impossible meat" that's supposed to look, feel, and taste like beef, even "bleed" when you cook it, yet be a 100% plant product via the miracle of GMO. Without getting into an explanation of how, you can read for yourself here:

But it got me thinking - all these attempts to make something that tastes like meat from plants... what if somebody did the opposite, made a product that looks, feels, and tastes like plants but is actually a 100% meat product via the miracle of GMO? Would anybody eat it?

Once upon a time I mentioned a seafood place to try out if you're ever in the Corpus Christi / Kingsville area. It's King's Inn on Loyola Beach in Baffin Bay. Place has been around since 1945. I ate there a number of times as a kid but have had a lot less opportunity as an adult. Stopped by for lunch on the way back from South Padre. There's no menu, you just order stuff by the pound served family style, fresh from the bay.

I’ll take your word, veggie and burger don’t go together. Give me a nice rare angus burger!

I'll take mine well done.

I'll pass on a veggie burger.

Wahlburgers has started selling an Impossible Burger at their restaurants. So that should give it a lot of public attention.
