>>>That would be a first. Usually it's faux meat made from anything else. Veggie steaks, non-dairy fake cheese... but nobody ever thought of making lettuce out of pork.

>>Nope.

>>They are selling meat balls "veggie style" here, which might have poultry in it.

>When I see "style" in the name of the product, I simply know that it is something fake, or posturing as something else. Just as the olive oil sellers in the US have lobbied (and probably paid) for a law, and got it, which allows them to boast the country of origin if at least 11% of the oil is from that country. So "Italian virgin bla bla olive oil" may be 88% from Spain or who knows where.

>When they say "Italian spice", I take that as practically an insult to italian cuisine - as if it knows of only one spice, which then doesn't really need any other name, just say it's italian and everyone will know what it is. Or they mix something up and say it's mexican style - because it has boiled corn inside.

The funniest moment was with the dark beer of Nikšić - manufactured by the worst industrial brewery here (just below 120km from me, in Apatin), and "importer for Montenegro: brewery 'Trebjesa' of Nikšić". Them Montenegrins being too lazy to make their own beer, so they outsource it and import back :).

>C'mon, those were hen's organs. So it's all organic.

I do remember an article somewhere (published in April) where it mentioned a group of scientists successfully combined various organisms through gene-splicing as well as tissue grafting, created a chimera that produces hamburgers.
