Quorn

[borderbilly]

Was in my local Lidl today and bought 500g mince, £5.49. I was gobsmacked at that price, granted it would have been dearer at the butchers. got me thinking, QUORN! Does anybody eat it? What does it taste like? All replies good or bad welcome.

My wife's vegetarian so I'm "flexitarian" and we eat Quorn from time to time - it tastes like whatever flavour is added to it but seems to work best as chicken - it's rather high in salt so not suitable for all diets.

Used to make Chilli from Quorn mince. It tasted really nice but the texture is squishier than beef mince.

Quorn itself has no discernable flavour, it relies on a sauce or similar. Useful as a bulking agent but pretty useless on its own

think i will try it for my chilli, but give it a miss for my mince and tatties.

We're both vegetarian and tried Quorn many years ago. As others have said it just takes on the flavour of whatever you cook it in. Didn't like the texture, never bothered again.

Tofu is another one like that. And no it's not a martial art.

Mankind has no evolved canine and incisor teeth in order to bite through the skin and muscle of carrots

Made spaghetti bolognaise using Quorn mince it tasted really nice but might have been the sauce I put into it but now back to beef mince .

The only times I enjoyed Quorn was out following the hunt of that name. Food would be Melton Mowbray pork pie, Stilton and port.
