Sounds rather Futuristic I think. But, would the vegetarians here eat a burger manufactured in a test tube? Personally, I would rather chew on a raw turnip.

This one's quite interesting, as well as being (reasonably) uncontroversial: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...a-7447152.html

What's that got to do with Foie Gras??

What's that got to do with Foie Gras??

Do we have to wait for the original poster who as so often has started a provocative thread and then disappeared. Doubtless he'll be back soon to clip a few ears and tell the rest of us how pathetic we are

[Pabmusic]

What's that got to do with Foie Gras??

Not a lot, really. I was either:

a. posting something entirely new, or
b. being deliberately surreal.

[Chris Newman]

What's that got to do with Foie Gras??

I was not aware that this thread was specifically to do with Foie Gras.

My thought was that Native American Indians discovered America...

[Mr Pee]

My thought was that Native American Indians discovered America...

Well, they didn't really discover it, did they? They knew about it, because they were living there. I take the word "discover" to mean finding a continent/ island/planet/species/ that one previously never knew existed. Native Americans might have discovered the Grand Canyon, or Monument Valley, but the article refers to the continent of North America itself.
