  I have tried a tiny sample of what was meant to be a hamburger pattie/mince thing. It was not big enough to really judge - but it gave an idea.

  It tasted different, the texture was definitely different to what you know. But it wasn’t bad. I think we’d get used to it. They said they were nowhere near making a steak be similar.

    Cool, how long ago was this? It seems like there will be a fair bit of time between strange mince and familiar steak. The exotic faux gras is a smart move in this early game if they can pull it off, because the texture doesn’t have to match a structured muscle.

      A couple of years ago at a University Open Day.
