Brisketplant

The Brisketplant is a locomotive meat plant of the Beefplant variety, native to the Lucidus mission, with a habitat exclusive to the Illuminatian continent. The Brisketplant is widely cultivated for human consumption and comes in significant demand as a favored target of the Illuminatian culinary palette.

The Brisketplant is one of several meat plant organisms artificially engineered for the benefit of the Lucidus mission and its resulting civilization. The Brisketplant was conceived using Earth-native vegetative plant tissue fortified with genetic material from the common cattle. The resulting genetically engineered organism was a plant that produced edible meat-like tissue very closely resembling the taste and texture of a brisket.

The Brisketplant is a close cousin of the Sirloinplant, the Chuckplant, and the Flankplant—all being specialized locomotive meat plant fauna derived from the Beefplant.

While a vegetative material, the meat tissue of a Brisketplant contains all of the nutritive benefits of the real meat of a real formerly-living quadrupede. Common opinion holds that he meat tissue of the plant also exhibits all of the desirable flavors. The Brisketplant is known for its juicy, tender, savory, deliciously smoky essence.

Brisketplants are endemic to all regions of Illuminatia and survive in various climates. The Brisketplant is known to roam among grassy fields in the wild. The plant will alternate between a loose attachment to a shallow root system and a slow, lazy locomotive motion. The Beefplant does not migrate and does not cover any significant distance with its grazing motions.

Since the Brisketplant—like all meat plants in Illuminatia—is considered to be a plant and not an animal, Illuminatians are able to maintain a vegan diet while benefiting from the animal proteins found in the Brisketplant. The Brisketplant—being a vegetative organism and not an animal—is not sentient and does not feel conscious experiences, so therefore harvesting of this plant is considered to be wholly ethical.
