I see they are going for the high-end market. Seems the right path to me, for now, since they can charge high prices for foie gras without the guilt.

We eat beef, chicken, pork, and lamb, because they taste good, and are cheap to make because we can domesticate the animals.

What if exotic meats taste better, but we can't eat them because the animals are endangered, or dangerous, or undomesticable. Maybe lion, rhino, elephant, koala, meats etc taste really good. Growing these meats in the lab eliminates* these ethical problems.

Or what if they taste good, but they are too tough? Again, cultured meat process can interleave layers of fats to break up the muscle. Another win.

Just look at the nuance between the difference in taste between lamb and beef. There's so much difference, and I see so much potential here to explore different flavors.

* or maybe just exacerbates poaching, if it's cheaper to poach than grown in lab :/

I'd eat lab grown octopus any time, usually I avoid them for ethical reasons

giant tortoise was meant to be delicious, not considered ethical or practical these days
