If there's ever war between us and the SJW vegans, we'll win with one hand tied behind our back.

I would try it, just because I will pretty much try anything once in the reasonably-edible food arena. In recent years, I have read several science fiction stories with 3-D printing of meat figuring in the story, so I fully expect this to happen in my lifetime. On a somewhat related note, I read just the other day of a medical facility that is now able to 3D print human skin for burn grafts.

The operative term is your post, differing from the link, is "meat". =D
Also, that whole "steak" is like one bite for me. His clientele must be Lilliputians.

A Chicken McNugget is 3D printed meat.

What I think of that "steak"

FIFY

I wonder if it tastes any worse than Burger King's veggie burger.
-
I don't mind veggie this veggie that.
What I do mind is them calling it "burger", "steak", hotdog, etc....
Call it something else.

Yeah, there's a lot of vegetable stuff that I like. I'll eat a good veggie sandwich any old day, but don't give it some catchy faux-meat name. When you try to trick people into eating something, the first thought usually is, "What's wrong with it? What are you trying to hide?"
Stop comparing it to meat and stop telling me it's better. It's not. It's different. I'm fine trying something different (though the thing in my link looks like a flattened cow pie, so probably not that).

I'm in as soon as they can 3D print these.

I think the picture in the OP was blurry for a reason. That's what I think.
"Stop comparing it to meat and stop telling me it's better. It's not. It's different."
I'm with you there. Protein is protein and tofu ain't too bad, but don't call it a tofu burger. It's grilled tofugoo.

Maybe the guy with the camera had the dry heaves.

Bought some chili from Costco and turns out it's tofu chili. No where on the can doesn't it say meatless, no where, not even a freaking hint, unless you read the small print ingredients list.
If case you're wondering the brand name is Amy's. Yeah, I know now that Amy's stuff is meatless, I didn't know at the time. Say it on darn package!

Who’s ready for a little rice protein, pea protein and algae fiber squeezed out of a 3D printer into something that this guy claims resembles a steak?
Resembles a steak after it passes through your colon, maybe.

How was it? I make a meatless chili that’s pretty good. Lots of chili’s, onions and yes, I’m a yankee, black beans.

It's edible and that's about the most I can say about it. Every once in awhile to not let it go to waste I open up a can and dump a bunch of cheese in it to make dip out of it. I just wish the package would have said something about it being meatless

I’m not a fan of tofu. Never eat it on purpose.

And I just got done having dinner tonight: crispy fried tofu in my homemade General Tso sauce. Excellent. Ever since I read that the secret to crispy tofu was to wrap it in a towel and put a one pound can on it for 30-60 minutes to squeeze out the excess water, it has been great.

The Chinese know how to prepare tofu. Americans, not so much, they try to make burgers out of it.

My wife has a tofu press (same idea as your weight). Tofu, pressed dry, cubed and lightly breaded, and run through my air fryer comes out pretty dang crispy. Coat with sauce if choice.

Crispy tofu?
I know for a fact I’ve never had crispy tofu.
General Tso is a favorite. I don’t make my own but use Traders Joes.
Crispy in General Tso sounds maybe doable.
In the meanwhile I’ll stick with chicken :)

General Tso sauce
INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine (shaoxing wine) or dry sherry
2 tablespoons Chinese rice vinegar
3 tablespoons Dark Soy Sauce
3 tablespoons Chicken Stock
4 tablespoons Sugar
1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
1 tablespoon Corn starch
2 teaspoons Canola oil
2 teaspoons Garlic, minced
2 teaspoons Ginger, grated
2 teaspoons Scallion
8 pieces Chinese Chillies
PREPARATION
Combine soy sauce, wine, vinegar, chicken stock, sugar, sesame seed oil, and cornstarch in a small bowl and stir with a fork until cornstarch is dissolved and no lumps remain. Set aside.
Combine oil, garlic, ginger, minced scallions, and red chilies in a large skillet and place over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until vegetables are aromatic and so, but not browned, about 3 minutes. Stir sauce mixture and add to skillet, making sure to scrape out and sugar or starch that has sunk to the bottom. Cook, stirring, until sauce boils and thickens, about 1 minute.
I generally double this recipe and keep it in a jar in the fridge. I also leave out the dried red chilis and add them to the final recipe if needed. My wife does not like the chilis, so I leave them out if she is going to be eating the recipe, too. The sauce is better if I use the actual shaoxing wine instead of a substitute.
I use this sauce with the crispy fried tofu, or popcorn chicken that I bake in the convection oven. It is good for a quick fix of good Chinese food.

Thanks!

Late thought for the thread...
How the hell are you supposed to keep the 3D printer sanitary? Seems to me if you don't clean it thoroughly frequently, it's going to start fermenting "something" in there.
Hm?

That might give it some actual flavor, they charge more for that

^ Oh. But of course. I should have known. :facepalm:
