I've never tried it. Are they really that bad?
Isn't it made from fungus or algae or something equally snot like?
Mycoprotein, so funghi. according to wiki; "...it is derived from the Fusarium venenatum fungus and is grown by fermentation using a process that its manufacturer has described as similar to the production of beer or yogurt"Isn't it made from fungus or algae or something equally snot like?
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).
Like mushrooms then.Isn't it made from fungus or algae or something equally snot like?

Quorn's 2002 debut in the US was more problematic than its European introduction. The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) expressed multiple concerns over the product. Much of the concern from CSPI and others was over the original labeling of Quorn as a "mushroom based" product, since Fusarium venenatum is not a mushroom (rather, it is a microfungus). The sale of Quorn was contested by The American Mushroom Institute, rival Gardenburger, as well as the CSPI. They filed complaints with advertising and trading-standards watchdogs in Europe and the US, claiming the labelling of Quorn as "mushroom based" was deceptive. The CSPI observed that while a mushroom is a fungus, Fusarium is not a mushroom, and stated, "Quorn's fungus is as closely related to mushrooms as humans are to jellyfish."
I laugh at the fecking idiots who think that meat has an exclusive on being sausage shaped. For your information, this is the shape of something made of meat:
