Snip from Times UK item "Will the Petri dish put Daisy out to grass?": 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. Link to story (thanks, Clayton). Image borrowed from "Disembodied Cuisine," by the Tissue Culture and Art Project. This biological art project appeared in a show called "L’art Biotech" in Nantes, France, in 2003. If you like this, don't miss their "victimless leather." Previously on BoingBoing: posted by Xeni Jardin at 08:52:42 AM permalink | blogs' comments Vat-grown muscle is tomorrow's disembodied meat
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.
