--- Quote from: Quantus on September 16, 2015, 10:22:31 PM ---you are right, Produced might be a better word. But it's a "vattery" so I have to assume that the vats are the primary part of the process. Living on spires it would make sense that they cant have much in the way of traditional grazing herd animals. But then were does the 'meat' come from?

Yeah, whatever the vats are for, the vats themselves have to be a major part if only based on the name. I wouldn't assume that that role is producing the meat just yet though. Like you said, the next question is where does the meat come from. It seems inevitable that the Spires are pressed for space, so raising grazing animals doesn't seem likely. Considering they sail through the air, how about "fishing" for birds? "Whaling" for the mistmaw creature mentioned earlier might be an option as well.

/nods. Or even gathering and rendering down some sort of Cloud-krill maybe.
So ok, lets say they get some sort of raw animal material from somewhere. Im going with Soylent as the working name (you dont WANT to know where it comes from). What do you all picture as the final form coming out of the Vats? My mind first went to some equivalent of the Pink Slime that cause such a hooplah recently, but something more akin to sausage makes sense too.

Yeah sausage or any of the canned style meats seems like a good guess. I could even see the vats being used as baths to somehow neutralize whatever nasty goodies the meat might get from being out on the etheric currents. That way you wouldn't have to grind everything to a mush.
One more thing pointing to the meat not being grown in tubs, Bridget mentions her family's knives. You shouldn't have to butcher meat from a jar.

Fair, though you could have to slice it after, especially if it's a tough consistency. Im picturing them cubing it off like Tofu, in that case, only with more the consistency of a canned ham.
