The test-tube burger would be made from stem cells taken from a cow. So a vegan couldn't eat it - animal product. A vegetarian might be able to, depending on their sect.

Could vegetarians eat a 'test tube' burger?

I had a load of good friends over to my house for a weekend of frivolities. We had a great time together and as host, I subjected them to some fine home cooking that even the wonderfully Michelin starred norrahe would be proud of.
However, there were two veggies and the concept of the the famous hyperD Cooked English Breakfast would make the aforementioned a trifled hot under the collar.
Sneakily, I had researched beforehand a great way to make veggie bacon [all power to t'interweb Googily thing]. Using my chefs set of samurai Global knifes, I finely sliced pieces of tofu into rasher shapes and marinated them in maple syrup and salt for 48 hours and slow baked them until crispy.
Not a word of complaint was uttered as the meaties and the veggies delved into the mornings cuisinary delights.
Imagine, to my utter chagrin, when I'd realised I'd got the orders the wrong way round...If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.Comment

In practice, after several decades of vegetarianism, its become a habit. And there are other issues around resource usage and health. Also, after you stop eating meat, the bacteria in your gut that digest it tend to die off so if you start again suddenly you're liable to get severe indigestion. Lentil flatulence is bad enough ...And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment
