Sorry, wrong thread. Thought this was light relief not hunger relief.Comment

Not in my opinion, no. But it is a healthy, safe and nutritious alternative for those who can't or won't eat meat (but for gawd's sake, don't buy the ready meals).Originally posted by AtWComment

Well, I bought some mince, but tried the sausages to see what the 'shop bought' flavour was like - and that was good... the ingredients dont scare me as much as most processed food... Im getting in to the habit of cooking more at weekends - either to have friends round or to freeze food for the evenings I dont get home until late so my diet is healthier...Vieze Oude ManComment

Thinks like Quorn mince are fine, it's the pre-made Quorn sweet 'n' sour chicken, beef stew, etc that are the ones to avoid (as indeed, and arguably more so, are their "real meat" equivalents).Originally posted by mcquiggdComment

I find it rather strange that people who choose not to eat meet (fine, more left for us) would want something that ... reminds them meet: beef stew, sausages etc - if you are a veggie, then stick to carrots etcComment

Its probably due to training... we are fed meat from a relatively early age, so thats what we expect.... Im not a veggie by any means, Im just looking for the healthier option...Vieze Oude ManComment

The Quorn burgers are quite good, and okay value.
These people don't like them:
http://www.cspinet.org/quorn/
They describe Quorn as follows:
"Despite what some of the manufacturer's (Marlow Foods) marketing materials indicate, the fungus used in Quorn is only distantly related to mushrooms, truffles, or morels. While all are members of the fungus kingdom, Quorn is made from a less appetizing fungus (or mold) called Fusarium venenatum."
We'd better not tell them that cultivated mushrooms (Portobello mushrooms in Mommas apple-pie land) are grown on fermented straw and excrement. Cultivation of 'Paris Mushrooms' was discovered by the French. Who else would grow something edible on tulipe and then sell it. Oh and what about Roquefort which is Penicillin roquefortii mould growing on pressed mild curds. And of course excrement is routinely spread on foods crops during the growing stages.
And yeast is even more distantly related to mushrooms, but some of the products make life worth living i.e. bread and beer.
Actually the above people seem okay, but they are strangely positive about GM foods, presumably because the US grows 'em?
