You know what, I'm not a vegetarian - but that Quorn stuff looks interesting.
Low-fat, high protein - and it's mushrooms! (I like mushrooms...haha).
I might see if it's available here in Australia - how do you find the taste? And do you use it as a major component in your diet?
- Falling3 13y agoI've been vegan about as long as I've been vegetarian. Since quorn has almost no vegan options (this has changed very recently), I haven't had a chance to try. But there are several other vegetarian products that are delicious and satisfying that I have enjoyed more than their "real" counterparts.
- Blahah 13y agoI've eaten it for about six years. The basic ingredient has no flavour, but is very good at taking on flavours in a dish. Mostly it's sold pre-flavoured in some way (like chicken-style, beef-style, etc.) and these tend to be pretty nice too. As a way to get started, chicken-style pieces are excellent for stir-frys.
- bjackman 13y agoIt doesn't really have any flavour of its own (similarly to Tofu), but it's normally sold "chicken-style" or "beef-style", and has some sort of very mild flavouring added. One form it comes in is frozen "mince". That would probably be the best way for a non-veggie to eat it. You can use it as a replacement for beef in pies/chili con carne/bolognese etc. The lack of fat probably makes it slightly less satisfying but I'd say it's worth it for the health benefits. The actual flavour doesn't suffer at all.
