Mrs and I tried lab grown fois gras quail, apparently the first in Australia. Amazing to be able to buy this in a restaurant, after hearing about it year after year.
It was certainly meaty, a flavour you simply don’t get with any meat-free chicken, really pungent and distinct (not that I’ve ever had dead quail).
A place called Bottarga in Brighton, Melbourne. Wasn’t cheap, but I’d pay top dollar to support the transition.

They weren’t rude or anything - just they couldn’t bring themselves to eat it because it was too much like real tuna in appearance
Ahh fair enough, I don’t know enough of the whole story. I take back what I said.
