€287k test-tube burger on menu

A slice of history will be served on Monday when the world’s first test-tube burger, made from lab-grown meat, is cooked and eaten in London.

The five-ounce patty, which cost £250,000 (€287,634) to produce, will be dished up by its creator before an invited audience at a secret location.

Scientist-turned-chef Professor Mark Post produced the burger from 20,000 tiny strips of meat grown from cow stem cells.
