Australia’s first cultured meat is... quail?

Sydney-based Vow is the first lab-grown meat manufacturer approved to launch Down Under. Vow, which has sold its meat under the Forged brand in Singapore since last year, offers quail foie gras and pâté, plus a quail-based candle you can dip food into as it melts.

They say they “craft entirely new, never before seen (or eaten) meats,” which is certainly one way to get around how hard it is to make a lab-grown steak.

<em>You couldn’t make this stack of foie gras from a real quail if you tried (and you shouldn’t).</em>
<em>This whipped pâté is 60 percent cultivated quail, flavored with brandy, butter, and more.</em>
<em>I’m less sure about the candles, which are mostly quail-flavored coconut oil, but I applaud the inventiveness.</em>
