Not just for Explorers Club dinners anymore

The folks at the Explorer's Club surely have their mouths watering at this news.**

Food scientists have created a "mammoth meatball".

"A wonderfully wacky publicity stunt, the meatballs aren’t intended for human consumption. Even calling the creation mammoth meat is a bit of a stretch. It’s more like lab-made lamb mingled with a tiny amount of mammoth DNA."

You'd think it wouldn't be that hard to get some mammoth DNA to work with as the article notes, "Woolly mammoth remains, with fur and tissue still in tact, are regularly found entombed in Arctic permafrost."

**I now see that the EC members ate green sea turtle at that infamous meal and not woolly mammoth.
