> Tomás Ostiglia, executive creative director at creative agency LOLA MullenLowe, said a problem with selling plant-based products was people often said they don’t replicate the taste of meat very well.<p>I wonder if it’s all just a bit of marketing to get past this response from people. Virtually nobody has actually eaten human meat so how would a customer know whether the taste is accurate or not?
Traditionally glossed as "long pig".<p>It doesn't say how they knew what to do to make it taste right, or how they tested to make sure they got it right. So, kinda suspicious. But, eh, NYPost.
Interesting that it won a creativity award, since it appears to be very similar to Hufu[1][2]:<p>[1] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hufu" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hufu</a><p>[2] <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20050611025244/http://www.eathufu.com/home.asp" rel="nofollow">https://web.archive.org/web/20050611025244/http://www.eathuf...</a>
Wait until we perfect cultured meat. I guarantee that not only will cultured 'long pig' be a thing, you'll be able to buy celebrity endorsed products made with it <i>that were cultured from that very celebrity</i>.
