screenshot of a newspaper headline and opening paragraph: shark steak: stewed bracken. Strange Dishes we may meet one day. What shall we have for lunch to-mmorrow? Perhaps you would like some cocoa-nut soup, a nice tender shark steak, or a generous helping of squirrel pie with stewed bracken fronds followed by sea-weed jelly and a bottle of grass juice? this is not such an improbably menu as it sounds.

Mr Stanley Howard being spookily accurate in the Gloucester Citizen in 1950. (The shark factory is 'recently founded' on a little Scottish island, apparently, which is intriguing as all the ones I know about were for oil, not meat...) #AlternativeProteins

This study investigates Solein protein powder (SPP) for its composition and techno-functional properties, comparing it to pea protein isolate (PPI). SPP had a lower fat content and higher dietary fibre, while matching the protein content of PPI. SPP met all indispensable amino acid requirements for adults over the age of three, as outlined by the FAO in 2013.
