“Absurdly tender” and “cooked to order in a football stadium” seem like they are at cross purposes anyway.

Given that it was 16oz and “only” $32 at the Super Bowl of all places, no amount of culinary acumen is saving that piece of shoe leather.

Fast food chains have reported difficulty in attracting enough workers to fill out their weekly schedules: unemployment is down overall, so people have more options, and teenagers prefer other ways of earning money to standing behind a counter.

There’s already vegetarian meat companies using mycoprotein. This sounds pretty much the same, except for the tactic by which they’re trying to scare up promotional headlines.

“Finland A Finnish company makes protein out of thin air thicc aerobic soil bacteria (or probably mycelium or something); the future is weird a lot like the past, at least in terms of sensationalizing headlines until they lose all meaning.”

If I’m reading this right, they managed to go straight from sunlight + dirt to edible protein without the plant. Assuming this is both true and more efficient than actual crop farming, that’s a pretty amazing thing!

...a comparitively small percent that you can’t make protein without.  Protein is made of amino acids which require nitrogen.

Spell it correctly and I’ll buy three!

They are making protein “out of thin air” pretty much the same way plants do.  Which is to say not at all.

We’re just a couple of Solein farmers on Tatooine

Im pretty sure nitrogen is present in protein, which I assume the bacteria get from the soil.

So a soy replacement that’s made (I repeat) out of thin air

How about the “Emporer’s New Burger”?

Not liking a food doesn’t really say anything about you.

Betty Crocker is essentially like the Doctor: she just regenerates into a brand new woman every few decades.

Betty Crocker is an undefined ideal, nobody knows what it looks like; Betty is whoever your fantasy person is. Who makes cake.

I immediately think of "cake" thanks to Duncan Hines and Betty Crocker, and then I think of what a fox Betty Crocker must have been; so moist is a very positive word for me.

no, but on the rare occasion I eat a Twix bar, I eat the entire top layer of chocolate and caramel first, then the cookie bar. 

I am an insane person.
