I'm looking for the title and author of a science fiction short story I read a while ago. It was about a futuristic society in which animals were no longer killed for their meat, and meat was instead synthesized. One day, some restaurateur came up with a new food (I think it was called Ambrosia, maybe not?) and it was really popular. It was later discovered that Ambrosia was really synthesized human flesh. I also (perhaps mistakenly) remember this story being a court case against the restaurateur, and the lawyer was trying to explain to the judge/jury that they were carnivores (I remember that that word was spelled out) and that meat came from dead animals. I remember that towards the end (maybe even the last line) the lawyer says or writes c-a-n-n-i-b-a-l. Thanks. (It's not Soylent Green, or Delicatessen...it's a short story!)
