foods. How about a domesticated "steak plant"? No more need to kill
cows.

How about cows that want to be eaten, and are capable of clearly
expressing that desire?

(I assume that Adams took a page from Al Capp's book here.)

Ringworld introduced Moa bird.

Known Space had the "handmeal", although that was probably just
a "futuristic" name for a sandwich.

Maybe someone will do a Jurassic Park and we will have Flinstone
Bronto Burgers

Isaac Asimov did dinosaurs as food shortly before Hanna-Barberra did, in
"A Statue for Father".
