Certainly, provided there is an initial template for it to learn from. It wouldn't be difficult to scan a few cuts of prime rib or bacon.

That would be a good question, indeed. I suppose we might at least observe them in action and theorize based on that. In my timeline, we can grow body parts for surgical replacement but the process is inexact and we lack certain stem cell progenitor lines - a much more difficult task than using the protein gels as a base in printed meats.

So we would first have to get our hands on bacon and prime rib - a bit challenging but I am sure it can be done.

So we will have to wait until we arrive at a station with such technology, correct? We would not be able to ... ah, order such things?

[unbearablynaive]

A dedicated gourmet is a force to be reckoned with.

From where would you order them?

[tallasaking]

If that is what you are calling me -- I suppose I would have to agree.

I have absolutely no idea, but all these items that we are sent have to come from somewhere. They might - and this is extremely unlikely - might give us something as useful as a food vat.

[unbearablynaive]

I suppose it wouldn't hurt to request one. Perhaps if a kitchen is upgraded enough, it would become an option?

[tallasaking]

Perhaps it would not ... we will never know until we try.

[unbearablynaive]

And if not, we shall have to see what the next world offers us in terms of resources.

[tallasaking]

Well I can build almost anything out of anything, so no worries there. If I can find the designs, we could build it ourselves.

[Ah, good. No doubt Tony could help with a project like this, but whether he'd consider it a waste of time when he could just pay through the nose for real meat is another question entirely.]

I'd settle for a chance to get a close look at once of them. It's still all rather more theoretical than practical in my own time, I'm afraid.

[tallasaking]

[Well let's be honest - if Tony Stark could find meat in space ... then he was a new kind of genius on Tyrion.]

... where I come from, meat that is not from something you have hunted is all theory.

[unbearablynaive]

[Never underestimate the man's determination to have a cheeseburger.]

All the more reason to get some practical examples, then, isn't it?

[tallasaking]

[Clearly cheeseburgers have a greater appeal than Tyrion imagined.]

Well, I suppose I cannot deny that.

[unbearablynaive]

[Clearly he just needs to try one some time.]

I'll be certain to share any information I find.

[tallasaking]

[Clearly, once they find a cow, he should do that.]

I greatly appreciate that. Thank you, Captain Vision.

[unbearablynaive]

You're most welcome.
