"Ambrosia Plus" is the most popular synthetic food product from Triplanetary Foods in Arthur C. Clarke's short story "Food of the Gods". In court, a food scientist discusses the history of food production and how hard it was to determine exactly what Ambrosia Plus was, and why it was so popular.

He summarizes it thusly:

"Yes, Triplanetary's chemists have done a superb technical job. Now you have to resolve the moral and philosophical issues. When I began my evidence, I used the archaic word 'carnivore'. Now I must introduce you to another: I'll spell it out the first time: C-A-N-N-I-B-A-L..."

Ambrosia Plus mimics human flesh.
