Although the synthetic meat is cloned from nutrient solution, leading to the absence of connective tissue, blood vessels, and fats, it's purely stacks of muscle cells.
It has no chewiness or flavor, but for players used to real meat, it's still a novelty.

Soon, all the food and drink on the table were crammed into his stomach. Fender stood up, clapped his hands, grabbed a napkin to wipe his mouth, and was ready to leave without any intention of paying the bill.
