I don’t see what’s interesting or intellectually gratifying about this at all. It reads like an advertisement for that startup company. What did they technically achieve here?
- chrisseaton 4y agoI would have absolutely no idea how anyone could try to synthesise anything as complex and subtle as an oyster, so I'm interested to hear about it.
- socialismisok 4y agoOysters seem difficult to replicate, and an unusual food to create. I had no idea anyone was working on this, and it's interesting to see such a positive result.
- 40four 4y agoFair enough. But to be fair, the article mentions mushrooms are one of the main ingredients, and I can’t think of a better analogue than that. Even unprocessed, if you took the right species of mushroom, and injected some ‘seafood’ flavor from seaweed, and served it in a half shell, you’d be pretty darn close. I hate to be a Debbie Downer here, but I don’t see how this is very interesting except to try to pump the ‘stock’ of this company that’s marketing said product. On top of that, I don’t understand why folks who swore themselves off of meat products (vegetarians & vegans) insist on this never ending quest to better simulate animal based products? Why is it even something a person who doesn’t eat animal products care about?
