what's the point of quorn?

[Lee_M]

To suggest something is pointless just because you don't like it is a bit narrow minded. As for telling other people what they should or shouldn't do, [Mod Edit] "that's just wrong".

err when did I say other people shouldnt eat it?

oh and MarkyMark? of course it's a dumb thread, it's in the cafe, it's not the end of the world if you don't like the thread, don't read it, same as I don't eat quorn.

Oh and Joffey I reckon Quorn had less effect on Mo than the illegal transfusions he had.

It was a light hearted thread, but feel free to get all hot and bothered about it :-)

 

[Fab Foodie]

don't get it.
If you're vegetarian then be a vegetarian rather than pretend to eat meat.

oh and when I have tried it, it's just not nice, texture or the way it takes on the taste of everything it's mixed with

It' so Carnivores can feed Veggies.

its where all the posh Leicester people live

Isn't that where they hunt the fungal protein?

Well said! Quite a few question others reasons for threads. If you find it "dumb" just ignore it. Don't start the name calling and mocking.

I think you missed out an 'allegedly' there.

We use it all the time and it is lovely.

We make a mexican style chilli with it, and have either nachos or baked potatoes. It is divine. I actually prefer it to mince meat.

you're right sorry, the alleged transfusions. sorry Mo

a proper answer, who'd have thought!!!

I've always found it took up the tast of the things it was mixed with too much so it was actually too strong

 

[Drago]

Isn't it made from fungus or algae or something equally snot like?

 

[Lee_M]

I dont eat meat and I'm trying to not have dairy either, but fail with cheese.
The point of Quorn is to provide people off all walks of life with a tasteless and overpriced dinner.
Supermarket non meat alternatives are much better and cheaper in my opinion.

I think I'd miss cheese more than meat, especially anything blue

Prefer blue to bleu?

 

[Drago]

If you're vegetarian, why eat meat free sausages? Isn't acting out the ritual perpetuating the desire for meat?

A meat substitute I can utterly understand. A meat substitute designed to look and taste like meat goes way beyond me (although I'm cool if it floats your boat).

 

[AndyRM]

Quorn/meat substitutes may look (a bit) like meat, but they taste nothing alike.

Quorn is the secret to running long distances fast. Ask Mo Farah

You get plenty of practice running for the lavvy.

 

[Drago]

Mix it with meat, bingo!
