That’s right, readers; I ate lab-grown meat. And to answer your inevitable follow-up: Yes, it tasted like chicken.
It tasted like chicken because, well, it was chicken. Lab-grown meat is not a meat substitute created entirely from soy or other vegetarian ingredients. Rather, it’s actual animal flesh, typically made from cells harvested from live animals or fertilized eggs that are cultivated in a lab and grown into edible tissue — maybe a chicken cutlet or a meatball.
