As “strict” as regular meat?

Luckily I'm in India, not being a rich country means less packaged and more local choices. It's not all bad.

I imagine this must be an interesting topic in India, with a large population viewing the cow as a sacred animal. How would artificially grown beef play into that? Would it still be a sacred cow at that point? I am curious to know!

Definitely a ban. But quite a few communities would eat buff meat and is occasionally available in restaurants. It's a wide gradient considering what's ok to eat here, ranging from Garlic, Onion, Mushroom, Egg, Chicken (also depends whether halal), Mutton, Lamb, Fish, Pork, Buff, Squid, Dog...

Also it's not consistent among religion either and depends alot on region too. There are Muslims eating Pork in the North East and Hindus eating beef in the South but the majority isn't that. Outliers to everything.
