In the Netherlands, they created a meatball made from mammoth meat. Why hasn’t anyone tried? – Russian newspaper

However, its creators did not dare to taste the delicacy – it is not known how a four-thousand-year-old protein will affect the modern organism. The startup’s founders originally wanted to make a meatball from the flesh of an extinct dodo bird, but it didn’t work out due to a lack of DNA.A few years ago, the startup collaborated with a renowned Australian chef to create a six-course test menu, each with fake meat as the main ingredient. The most colorful were the alpaca appetizer and the “crystal dumplings” with kenguryatin.The creators of the startup compare the process of producing meat in the laboratory with growing plants in a greenhouse. They argue that by choosing artificial meat, a person will save himself from infection with various diseases. In addition, thanks to the rich “cellular library”, people will be able to diversify their diet. For example, for lovers of exotic cuisine, it is planned to create poisonous puffer fish in the laboratory, which will not contain toxins.So far, only in Singapore is it allowed to feed citizens artificial chicken from an American brand. An Australian startup promises to bring Japanese quail to restaurants in “Asian New York”, while experimenting with cultivating crocodile and peacock meat and bringing mammoth meatballs to a usable state.
