Plant based food is really stepping their game up. No longer just patties and formed sausages. This company is using essentially a 3D printer to interlace protein with fats and "blood" to make various replicated cuts of meat. I also tried their picanha steak but didn't get a photo before it go devoured. Texture and taste are as close as they've ever been to the real thing, but still a few years away from being indiscernible from actual steaks.

Tastiness on a scale of 1/10, just on its own if you wouldn't compare it to actual meat.

how expensive was it compared to actual meat?

7/10.

I didn't pay for it... They're introducing it to investors and some industry players. Not yet imported into where I'm living/working. I think price will depend on distribution once market research is done. If it's anything like impossible when it first hit the market, it'll be comparable in price to high quality beef.

Any idea if it contained soy? If I get the opportunity to move to something sustainable in the future that'd be great. On the other hand I can't cook soy in my house, not even using soybean oil, because my wife has EOE and will be sick for days just smelling it.
