I
adjust the colour of my dress with the push of a button. Got to get
that deep red hue to match the hair, the shoes and the nails. The
bacteria woven into the silk recognize the change in nutrients at once
and start to produce the appropriate pigments. Saves having to get a
different coloured dress to match each of my shoes. In addition to
colour, the bacteria can also produce various scents. The perfume
industry had a little to suffer because of it but they quickly changed
direction and now they are inseparable from the textile industry.
The
Flesh of Fallen Angels Bar and Grill. An apt, albeit dramatic name for
this restaurant. The sombre decor complete with black candles and black
velvet chairs and the 80’s rock and metal playing in the background go
very well with cocktails called Ragnarök, Aesir and Asgard and menu
items called Spicy Valkyrie Wings, Jörmungandr steak and Flesh charred
by Fafnir’s breath. The whole atmosphere is like a bubble out of time
that evokes memories of the years when life depended less on the
synthetic. What makes this place truly special, though, is that they
serve actual meat. While one can easily forget that the ‘meat’ in their
everyday dinner is synthetic, an anniversary still calls for a special
meal and it is these meals that remind me that no synthetic analogue can
fully reproduce the taste and feel of a good steak. Sweet wine
fermented by enhanced bacteria is, however, a significant improvement
over that which has come before it.
