Just came across this article about an attempt to recreate Wolly Mammoth meat. Sounds a little close to Jurassic Park if you ask me! Not sure exactly the best way to grill it!!

I didn't have the energy or patience to want to read that article, but wanted to say hello as I haven't seen you post for a few weeks.
Hopefully, you got some crazy idea for your next charitable cook.

The article does say they were "not for human consumption"

Good to hear from you Lew. To be honest with you, I only skimmed the article. But I was struck with the idea of being able to splice and recreate DNA to create meat similar to an extinct species like the Wolly Mammoth. I wonder what it would taste like. My guess is it probably tastes like chicken (actually it maybe closer to venison?).
I have not done much in the way of cooking projects since the Super Bowl pizza taco. However, that should change this week. For Maundy Thursday I am tentatively cooking Chicken Shawarma, Lamb Kafka, and a smoked salmon dip. For Easter Sunday going with the now traditional Easter breakfast of a Steak and Egg Wrap with my wife's cinnamon rolls. This is the third year we are doing it, so I guess that makes it a tradition! I am headed to the store this afternoon, so I will see what I end up with before coming up with a final menu. I will post what I come up with on a different thread once I figure it out.

I saw a story on this on the news and they said nearly the whole meatball was lamb with "just a tiny bit" of Mammouth recreated "meat".
