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.
