Dumb Idea - Dino Meat Deli

Move over chicken, bacon, and beef, it is time for the meat of the future! Or rather, the meat of the past, as the time will soon be nigh for the first ever supplier of extinct meats. In Singapore, you can now buy chicken nuggets grown artificially in a lab ↗, using DNA extracted from the original chicken’s feather. A step forward for ethical meat consumption! But also, boring.

Why stop at chicken, when the carnivorific possibilities of the entirety of earth history now lay at our fingertips! Brontosaurus burgers! Triceratops teriyaki! Mesozoic feast pizzas!

Best case scenario, the culinary world is altered forever, launching mankind into a golden age of new flavours and food experiences. Worst case, it tastes kinda bland, but you’ll still manage to serve everyone on Earth at least the one time, because who’s going to pass up the chance to eat a literal dinosaur?

I don’t understand why nobody is talking about this (aside from that one April fools article a few years ago ↗) . The technology is there; there is serious talk right now at bringing the woolly mammoth back from extinction, as in the whole thing. I’m just talking about recreating the tasty bits.

I will not be satisfied until I can order a rack of ribs so huge, it risks tipping my car over, dripping with sauce thickened with the juices of a dozen dodo birds.
