On October 5th The Center for Genomic Gastronomy had a great time participating in the Abandon Normal Devices (AND) Festival in Liverpool, England. This year we took part in the AND fair<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The AND fair was the perfect setting to fabricate and demo a new project called DeExtinction Deli.<\/p>\n “The De-extinction Deli is a fantastical market stand designed to highlight the emerging technologies, risks, and outcomes of the growing movement to bring back, and possibly eat, extinct species.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0During the day long fair we spoke to people who had wide range of opinions about DeExtinction and eating DeExtinct animals.

This visitor to the D-Deli self-identified as a Creationist who “doesn’t believe in Evolution or Dinosaurs”, but thought that bringing animals back from extinction was doing “God’s work”. And he would definitely eat them, too. Fascinating.\u00a0<\/p>\n The DeExtinction Deli even has vegetarian options:<\/p>\n
