I'm juste going to point out that currently, all our effort at growing meat in a lab depend on bovine fetal serum, which is... Well, what you get when you bleed a bovine foetus and centrifugate the cells out. According to my cell culture teacher, that 100g artificially grown steak they did a while back probably required the blood of a dozen calves.

That sounds so metal that I fully expect my hair to spontaneously turn pitch-black and grow a foot longer upon eating that.

We are talking about when they finaly pull off growing the cultures though.
IIRC a show on science channel looked at it and said they were getting close to being able to grow the meat inside the pitri dishes but not quite. In that show they were also growing pork so I'm not sure what difference it makes. They also said they needed a way to add more iron to it because it didn't quite have that meaty flavor so for some reason I'm having a hard time beleiving that those guys used fetal pig blood...

Anywho
Anybody ever tried Poi bread?

We could do the same thing as that one nomadic African tribe - the Massai? - who regularly bleed their oxen to drink the blood. Won't be good enough for vegans, but it will suffice for vegetarians.

Cryxis, they did already. Only it costed 300.000 $. It turns out that a cow is quite a cheap cow cell reactor.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

Ah.... Well... I would hope cows a good cow cell reactors, I wouldn't want to know how much it would cost for pigs to produce cow steak...
(Sarcasm because I'm not sure how easily that would be noticed)

It's the Masai, yep. A mix of blood and milk.

Anybody ever had poi bread?
It's the most sweet and delicious pastry you will ever ingest.
It is made from mashed up taro root so I'm not sure how many people live near places that grow that stuff

Can admit that I had it in Hawaii and did enjoy it. I've been looking for it locally, and it has to be somewhere around here, but haven't found it yet.

As a vegetarian, these last few pages have all been wut

As a non-american, ...catfish? really?

the culture Attila the Hun came from did that to their horses.

Vegetarians might as well eat meat anyway. Cutting out just meat really doesn't eliminate that much. And health wise, I would choose meat over dairy, that stuff is terrible for you.

I have never had poi bread, but I think it has some sort of fat in it. I was watching Bizzare Foods and remember something like that (I love that show!)

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

Ya poi bread is a bit hard to find in the states.
I think you can get it on the west coast but I don't know.
My family once debated on buying poi (the mashed up root, not yet baked) and getting it shopping out here, but it is ungodly expensive compared to how cheap it is out in Hawaii.

[smeeprocket]

have any of you tried hakarl? SPeaking of Bizarre Foods.

If I ate meat that would be a goal of mine. I doubt you could get it anywhere other than Iceland, though.

I wrote it into the MUD I adminned for, actually. Caused a poison check or the person would vomit it up.

Err... I believe that's a bit of a hint right there.

[smeeprocket]

I wasn't sure if they were known as the Huns pre-conquering everything they laid eyes on.

That sounds incredibly disgusting.

There's plenty more reasons for a vegetarian diet than questionable ethical concerns or medical benefits, however tentative, you know. I'd tell you to get your head out of your arse, but that would be needlessly inflammatory as well as counterproductive.
