ENTREES K NITTED M E AT

M AIN COURSE ★★★

New technology makes it possible to create “thread” composed of long, thin strands of muscle fiber. Spools of meat yarn can be woven into lovely patterns that utilize the natural light pink of chicken and pork or the vibrant red of beef. Just send us a pattern and we’ll knit burgers with your company’s logo, or weave an elaborate holiday scarf for your whole fa mily.

M E AT FRUIT

★★

Inspired by medieval dishes that fashioned fake fruit from real meat, we’ve crafted a savory-sweet a muse bouche that starts with an intense hit of beef and finishes with the tart tones of forest berries. Meat fruit com bines the femininity of fruit with the masculine sensibilities of red meat in a hybrid celebration of in-vitro food culture.

CELEBRITY CU BES

★★★★

Prove that you’re the ultimate fan of celebrities – by eating them. We’ve secured the stem cells from some of today’s biggest stars and turned them into a range of tasty snacks. Go pop-culture with Justin Bieber and Rihanna, or give Willem Alexander a try before the next national holiday. Celebrity cubes are the next best thing to being fa mous yourself.

RUSTIC IN VITRO

K I D S’ M E N U ★

We’re out to disrupt the com mon misconception that lab-grow n meat is slick and soulless. Our rustic in vitro bioreactors bring artisanal production methods to cultured meats. The shapes of the bioreactors recall those of bone-in ribeye or whole Spanish ha ms. We leave the meat to grow and ripen for three months, letting it develop deep flavors that range from truffle to cheese.

TR A NSPA R ENT SUSHI

★★★

Without blood vessels, nerves or connective tissue, in vitro meat can be manufactured to be crystal-clear. We mimic the sa me physical processes that make jellyfish look like jelly and glass frogs look like glass. Grow n in thin sheets in sterile conditions, our transparent sushi lets you enjoy meats that were once unsafe to eat raw. Try the beguiling flavor of raw chicken or pork!

IN VITRO M E

In Vitro Me is a personal bioreactor worn as a pendent nestled between the collarbones. Over the course of several months, In Vitro Me uses your blood supply and bodily warmth to grow a medallion of meat cultured from your ow n muscle cells. We will happily cook your In Vitro Me meat with the care and expertise it deserves. Sensual and intimate, this is a dish best shared between lovers. Also suited for veganist, who want to avoid using animal products.

TAKE AWAY

★★★★

Magic meatballs playfully fa miliarize children with lab-grow n meat. The basic meat consists solely of animal protein, while the com bination of fats, vita mins, and minerals is completely up to you. Colors and flavors can also be added to the neutral base to make the meat change from pink to blue or crackle in your mouth. Making magic meatballs actively involves kids with the meat they eat, so that future generations will more readily accept lab-grow n protein.

DODO N UG GET

INSTA NT M E AT POW DER ★ ★ ★ ★

Meat powder is the most straightforward form of in vitro meat, consisting of pure protein – no more, no less. Meat powder is fat-free and shelf-stable. It can be used in soups, shakes and baked goods, but we think it tastes best as the basis for a crea my meat fondue. Gather the whole fa mily around the bubbling pot for a fun, cozy evening of cooking and chatting.

★★★

KITCH EN M E AT INCU BATOR ★ ★

The dodo has returned! Well, at least it’s returned to the dinner table. Thanks to a dried dodo specimen in England and our secret tricks of gene sequencing, it’s now possible to sa mple what the first sailors to visit Mauritius did in 1598. Served with blue cheese or honey-barbecue dipping sauce, dodo nuggets are a favorite of kids – and yes, you’re allowed to love them too.

The kitchen meat incubator does for cooking what the electronic synthesizer did for musicians. A set of pre-progra m med styles, tastes and textures allow us to grow a mind-boggling variety of meats, from tuna steak to turkey meatballs. Tap into our website to see what we’re growing, or dow nload some of our recipes to try out in your ow n home bioreactor.

M E AT PAINT

★★★★★

Meat paint is just like normal paint – except it’s safe to eat and completely delicious! While you’re waiting for your drinks to arrive, kids are free to use tubes of meat paint to make any drawing they’d like. Once their one-of-a-kind artwork is complete, we bake it and serve it to the whole table as an adorable appetizer. Even fussy eaters love to give it a go.

GRO WING M E AT SUSTAIN A BLY

DINOSAU R “ WING”

Sorry, Jurassic Park – genetic material only lasts for about 1,000 years, so there’s no dino DNA left to clone. But if you still want to try velociraptor au vin, we’ve invented the next best thing. By coaxing chicken and sala mander tissue to grow around 3D-printed bones, we’ve created a giant, anatomically-accurate model of a dinosaur’s arm. Great for groups; tastes like chicken with a bite.
