| Carniculture Vat | ||
| Technology to grow meat sans animal. |
In this novel, spacecraft had carniculture vats, to grow meat to supplement the vegetables from the hydroponic vats.
| Every Viking ship had its own carniculture vats, but men tired of carniculture meat, and fresh meat was always in demand." |
| Technovelgy from Space Viking,
by H. Beam Piper. Published by Analog in 1962 Additional resources -

There is an early mention of carniculture vats in Piper's work: see carniculture plants from his 1961 book Four-Day Planet.
