Lab grown human flesh would remove the health risks around cannibalism but I assume the taboo would remain. Otherwise I'm imagining tasting menus of an extreme variety of creatures extinct, endangered or just previously hard to fit into the supply chain.

I’m now imagining the lab grown meat companies driving exotic animals to extinction so that they could corner the market on their meat and drive the prices up.

Weird to think about, but maybe a sideline in medical applications can offset r+d. useful as grafts?

Depending on where tastes go, you could even have celebrity meats.

Swiftie Burgers. Kardashian hot dogs. Nixon ribs.
