"Pre-liquefied and ready to digest, with just a pinch of penicillin as growth stimulant! We don't have the climate for the farming and grazing methods of the north, you know.

The best selling vatted meat product on the market was something called Kingston's Bison-Boar, some godforsaken agglomeration of bovine and pig genes stretched across a cartilaginous scaffolding and immersed in a nutrient broth until it grew into something that was meat-like without being meaty, paler than veal, lean as a lizard, and so animal-friendly that even strict vegetarians didn't mind tucking in a Bison-Boar burger or two when the mood struck them."
