Vegan cheese that actually taste like cheese

Normally, vegan cheeses are derived from tapioca flour, vegetable glycerin, or nuts. They also tend to be rather unsatisfying, to put it charitably. That's because all current vegan cheeses lack a crucial ingredient: the animal proteins found in milk.These biohackers think they have the solution: They're going to create milk protein without ever involving an actual animal. To pull it off, they plan to take the DNA sequences that dictate milk protein production in cows, build them from the ground up in a lab, and place the synthetic DNA into yeast.

Surprisingly so.

It reminds me of my youth and the sandwiches mother use to make. This odd nostalgia is the only reason why I want to eat something that taste like cheap meat.

Interesting. Could you possibly film yourself eating some salami and showing us how much you are enjoying it?

The salami in the link I provided was Yves' salami and my brother in law is named Yves. So vid can be arranged.
