have eaten it say it's *incredibly good*.

I've never understood what the alleged 'safety' issue is. I've
never heard anything about it other than on usenet.

So, basically, the whole 'safety' thing is a ploy by Gardenburger
and other such companies to discredit a competitor? Saying it is
untested is a bit random, since it's only new to America. Or are
Americans as different to Europeans as Quorn is from mushrooms,
perhaps?

Well, I'll stick with my quorn products, anyone concerned about a
product with a 1:135,000 bad reaction vs a 1:360 (or whatever it
said) to soya can go munch on a carrot.

"Quorn cranberry + goats cheese escalope" for tea tonight, and it
was very nice.

Jun & I aren't allergic to anything we've tried, so far. I've gotta make
a run to Whole Foods and get some.

We were supposed to go today, but Jun decided to make k'nom Jeen (homemade
from scratch Thai-Chinese noodles). Tomorrow is Visak, the Buddha's
Birthday, Enlightment Day and Death Day, so she'll be at the Buddhist
Temple all day. I'll just sit home and drink, as usual.

According to :
It's something I use every week! I've tried just about everything in the
Quorn range, from the ham/turkey/chicken style sandwich slices to the
Quorn
burgers, sausages and mince. I love the texture of it and taste, and it's
so versatile.

I've found the burgers and sausages are a bit hard to eat - too dry due
to being low fat. WOrk better if you fry them or grill them coated with
butter. :-D (*ahem*)
The quorn + mushroom creamy pies are /lovely/ though. (Sainsburys used
to do 'mycaprotein and mushroom' pies, which are basically, the same
thing, quorn being a tradename of mycaprotein)

I'm not ever so fond of the taste of the sausages on their own, but they do
work well in casseroles. My favourite veggie sausages are Morrison's own,
closely followed by Linda McCartney.

Oooh yes those Sainsbury's pies were very nice, as are the Quorn ones. One
of my favourite Quorn products are the southern style burgers, and I like
the versatility of the chicken style pieces as I can use them in many
different dishes.

I've recently been buying the Quorn deli style bacon as is seems to have
improved in taste of late. I've been searching for ages for a veggie bacon
that is as good as 'streaky strips' which was taken off the European market
around two years ago - I used to adore that!

Hmm, I've never been a big fan of the Linda McCartney range. Not tried the
Morrisons ones. I used to live off the Morrisons 'vegetable pasties' back
in the early 90s, only to discover one day that the pastry had lard in it!

My favourite veggie sausages are the Cauldron ones (lincolnshire prerably),
followed by the, erm, I may have forgotten the brand name ... beanie? Only
seen them in H+B or Sainsburys so far. Oh, H+B do some nice brands that you
don't seem to get in the supermarkets.

The Sainsburys ones were puff pastry, which is always my preference. I don't
know why they stopped making them. Maybe ahead of their time? I wonder if
Quorn have patented mycoprotein now, perhaps? I think all the other brands
tend to use soya based ingredients now.

The chicken diper things are my + my brother's favourites atm.

Yes, that was the nicest fake-vacon around. The Tesco own brand is vile.

Hi Vicky.

ITYM Dragonfly's Soysages. The Beany ones are their burgers (which are
very nice indeed!) I've not tried the soysages yet.

I like Redwood's "Cheatin Rashers".

Oh yes, I've tried Tesco's veggie bacon and I thoroughly agree, it's
absolutely awful!

That won't stop me from cooking up the Quorn Roast that's sitting in my
freezer.

Didn't say it should.
