Lab-grown burger

Mark Post served a beef burger grown from cow stem cells, at a cost of about 250,000 euros.

Tasted on live television in London in 2013, Post's patty was grown from bovine muscle cells in culture. It started a cultivated meat industry that has since cut production cost by orders of magnitude.
