You may have heard the news earlier this week that taste-testers and scientists in the U.K. sampled the world’s first lab-grown burger. One food researcher said that the burger tasted “close to meat, but not that juicy”. Another quipped, “what was consistently different was the flavor”. Not a great review for a patty costing somewhere around three hundred and thirty thousand dollars, but you’ve got to start somewhere. Henry Fountain, science reporter for the New York Times, tells us about the science under the bun.
