 Scientists grow bacon from stem cells[^] 
The first step in the acquisition of wisdom is SILENCE, the second is LISTENING, the third MEMORY, the forth, PRACTICE and the fifth is TEACHING others!

Until they can genetically engineer some kind of animal that can give us Bacon and Gammon and Ham and Pork and Crackling I will stick to the old fashioned method!

They need to create a pig that regrows itself and lays eggs - the breakfast animal.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

With their innate ability to find truffles, I reckon this amazing breakfast animal of yours could find a few mushrooms too.

Now, if it only produced milk as well.

And shat black pudding. On a separate note, I still don't know where the fried bread is going to come from.

They always did -- the line "Cutting slices off their bums" in the song "There is a happy land" is based on reality; pigs' bums grow back.

Hmm, they must be female pigs - I've noticed that many a woman's bum never stops growing.
Mention it just the once...

I have a feeling that it'll be you who stops growing, if persons of the wrong gender clap their eyes om your posting.

Well quite, when you have a pig like that, you don't want to eat him all at once.

Yeah, right Dave. A wonderful, "magical" animal.

This is old news. If you want to make pork you put a mummy pig and a daddy pig who love each other very much..
you know the rest.

Quote: Although the lab-grown strips of meat don't yet taste or look much like pork (researchers say it has the consistency and feel of scallop),
I'd rather have sea weed as opposed to this.

There are plenty of people that eat sea weed. Just sayin.
If it moves, compile it

You shouldn't be running around making points. These are serious forums. Besides, this is a discussion about science and bacon.

Just about everyone does; it's a major component of packaged foods.
Nicer fresh, though.

You cannot grow bacon. What makes bacon be bacon is the grilling part.

You mean the salting, smoking, and then grilling part.

It's time for scientists to just stop already.

Welcome to 2010.
Back here in 2012, there was supposed to be a lab-grown piece of meat of useful size in October, but the last time I heard about it was in February. Perhaps it didn't work out.

It is like an MS release date. Keeps moving.
