"Vat-grown muscle is tomorrow's disembodied meat"
"Snip from Times UK item 'Will the Petri dish put Daisy out to grass?':
In 2002 scientists at Touro College in the US removed some muscle from the abdomen of an anaesthetised goldfish and placed it in a saline solution enriched with foetal calf serum.
The muscle reportedly grew by 15 per cent in a few weeks. It was then coated in breadcrumbs and lightly sautéed in olive oil: scientists said that the resulting dish “smelled good”.
However, they did not eat it."
