Kudu for Everyone!

Kudu is fantastically delicious: bad for the kudu. Now, South Africans are saving wildlife with high-tech cultivated meat.

Saving Wildlife with Cultivated Meat

When I was in Nambia, the California diet wasn’t available. It was meat. Meat for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

“The gastronomy of Namibia is mostly based on meat, indeed, an almost infinite variety of meats. In Namibia, they make numerous dishes with ostrich, antelope, zebra, giraffe, oryx, kudu, lamb and beef”

I tasted kudu, kudu is entirely filet mignon– it is the most delicious meat I’ve ever had. It’s popular and expensive.  As Africa’s population booms, this is bad news for the kudu.

In the United States people are cultivating beef and chicken in vats. I’ve thought: why aren’t we growing lobsters and kudu? In fact, they’ve grown mastodon meatballs in Europe.

The Solution, Grown in Solution

 WildBio, a company in South Africa. Their goal is to take Africa’s wildlife that’s being eaten to extinction and mass produce it in vat facilities.

I was amazed to see this technology already happening in South Africa so I checked out the website and voila! The picture in their infographics looks a lot like the kudu!
