I'm mostly unimpressed with what I've tried so far.

Some 'vegan' beef jerky being the most acceptable, but not really true to the expectation either. Could have done wine gums with chili instead, for the same effect.

edit: btw. what you percieve as 'soon' I perceive as drops in an ocean of inertia. This all reads like hype. Why there isn't more https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quorn or any other Ersatz out there? That stuff exists like decades, and before the vegan hype was usually shunned because perceived as fake. I don't really care, may you all grow tits and enjoy futa because trendy. Yay! (Phytoestrogens, get it?)

How is "vegan beef jerky" relevant to cultured meat?

For me, as consumer it's just another option of something to eat, which hasn't lived like an animal. The 'cultured' in meat implies a technological process whose internals and details I don't really care about. Tofu, Tempe, cultured, whatever, doesn't matter to me. Until it lands on my plate it has gone through most of the same industrial, logistical and commercial channels as everything else which lands there.
