When it comes to creating vegetarian meat substitutes, flavor is only one hurdle—smell and texture are also major factors, and scientists have been making breakthroughs on creating a convincing meatless meat experience. We also got some of our hosts together and had a blind taste test to see if they could tell the difference between various fake and real meat products!
