There is a catch, however. It is only pork that has been created in the laboratory.
For the first time in history, lab-grown meat was recently given a kosher certification. The Orthodox Union, a leading kosher certification agency, granted its first kosher certification to lab-grown meat made by Super-Meat, an Israeli startup that uses stem cells from eggs. This is a significant development for the world of kosher supervision.
According to The Ingolstadt Gazette, local celebrity recluse Dr. Victor von Frankenstein had worked many long, sleepless nights during violent thunderstorms to create the ersatz meat. When asked for confirmation, Dr. Frankenstein’s trusted lab assistant Igor said, “Mwaaahhhhahahhahahahahahahahahah! We’ve done it. You’ve done it Master! I shall toast you with the blood of a small rodent!”
(And, to all you literature buffs, I did mix my characters from two gothic novels, but few will notice if you keep your mouth shut!)
