When scientists said they could bring back the woolly mammoth after sequencing DNA found back in 2021, we assumed they were talking about a furry elephant-like creature, not a big ball of meat to go with your potatoes and veggies. We were wrong.

Ignoring the potential vegan shitstorm this will unleash, scientists at the Australian company Vow have unveiled the first-ever meatball grown from Mammoth DNA.

The recipe was concocted to ‘explore the ‘potential of growing meat cells without slaughtering animals, although the company has previously made meat substitutes for beef, pork, and chicken. They are however now looking at other ‘unconventional species’ to create meat products.

The giant ball of ancient meat was unveiled at a science museum called Nemo in the Netherlands this week as part of a drive to mitigate carbon emissions by reducing our dependency on cows, sheep, and their greenhouse gas farts.

Have a look at the delicious-looking mammoth meatball below.

If this is the future of meat, vegans have a point. We really hope they save a slice for Gordon Ramsey, who would most likely call it “F#@%&, $#@%, and *&%t that looks like a *$#% @#! with a %@*#.”
