Freeze-dried cow - just add water.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yes, but I think that in The Future, they will have mastered the technology of freeze-dried cow reanimators.

If I only had a brain...
I had issues with that, too. As I learned in geography class, it only makes sense, when you're using expensive transport, to transport high-value per unit weight things. Concrete blocks travel by truck, and they don't travel far. Computer chips travel all around the world by airplane.
Even today, with current technology, people are much more likely to ship bull semen than to ship the actual bull.

I'm suddenly flashing on Janene Garafolo's Comedy Central ad about the jerky chew rehydrator.

All is well that ends in pizza.

You can't sell and butcher semen and have steaks in a few weeks' time.

So bull semen + ? = OTP.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

No, but it's cheaper to ship the steaks than the cattle if that's the plan.

I wonder - if you kick a cow out the airlock just before reentering the atmosphere, would the heat of reentry cook the cow for you?
eta: Maybe "reentry" isn't the best word when you're traveling to other planets....
