Baked GM cow tumor triumphs at Food from Britain Export Awards

A surprise new British delicacy has become the latest darling of the British culinary community by being named as a candidate for the prestigious Export Inspiration of the Year Award.

The new taste delight is made simply from the ripe tumours of diseased mutant GM cows. The suculant growths are baked until brownish grey giving them a crisp outer shell with a warm tender centre.

The ground breaking idea comes from UK based GM+ who specialise in utilising the off-shoot opportunities developed from genetic modification anomalies. The baked tumours, or 'YUM-TUMS' ™, are the brainchild of GM+'s vice-president Leon Sirous.

"Our motto here has always been 'every cloud has a silver lining', and in this case the cloud is that poor cancerous bovine and the silver lining is a very tasty and plentiful wholesome treat".

Judges from the RBS backed Food from Britain Export Awards praised the new innovation for its use of normally overlooked resources and for its contributions to the ethos of recycling.

The popularity of 'Yum-Tums' both home and abroad will soon demand that tumour specific farms may soon be opening. These farms will deal solely in the breeding of cows already contaminated with cancer or other fine welt forming disorders.

Other products available in the GM+ range include, chicken club foot, spicy pork wings and battered fish legs. However the success of their latest invention is likely to overshadow all of these earlier breakthroughs.

As super-enhanced GM animal products become more popular the need for companies to stay ahead of the game becomes ever more vital. The publics apathy for standard meat products suggests that 'mutation' and 'innovation' will be the watch words of the meat producing industry in the coming years.

The enormous amount of knowledge built up from years of botched mutant experiments, have given the scientists at GM+ the belief that one day they can develop a cow that is 98% tumour.

A dream, maybe, but one that's certainly going to keep our mouths watering for the next few years.
