Children of the Quorn

Advantages: Healthier option to real mince.
Disadvantages: None

...have wanted to talk about Quorn for a while and I simply must let it out. It is like a volcano wanting to erupt and blast its lava upon the Earth. Well, here’s my Volcano folks, here’s my Etna, my Vesuvius… First of all, I am not a vegetarian. I tried it for a while, but I have this weakness for bacon, chicken, for Big Macs (only occasional ones) and for sausages (yes, I know what goes in them, but I choose to ignore this, I buy quality ones anyway). ...
...taste. My friend once suggested Quorn to me, don’t really know why she did. Maybe it’s because she is a vegetarian… So I tested it out and I liked it! I am not saying that I plopped a bit it a pan, heated it and ate it and thought, ‘Yes, cool!’ On its own it is pretty bland, but what do you do with your mince? No, you don’t eat it on its own, do you? I first put it into a bolognaise sauce and, quite frankly, could not tell the difference between ...

Review of Quorn Mince

A Banger Is Much Better Than A Sparkler.

Advantages: A very tasty meal
Disadvantages: None at all.

The late Linda McCartney was nothing short of passionate in her beliefs, Linda herself a long time vegetarian actively encouraged her husband Paul McCartney to embrace and take on her strong beliefs. Sadly Linda is no longer with us but her range of vegetarian food lives on and only a few weeks ago Paul gave the Vegetarian Society the go ahead to make the most of her recipes in some cooking classes that they are about to introduce. The Linda McCartney ...
...can buy a pack of Linda McCartney vegetarian sausages in most leading supermarkets. Anyone with a hearty appetite will be able to tackle three sausages but usually two is ample for me. Not only is the product suitable for vegetarians it is fine for vegans too. The sausages are free from genetically modified ingredients but they do contain wheat and gluten. They also contain that often necessary evil called Sulphur Dioxide, a preservative that is ...

Review of Linda McCartney Sausages

Not just for vegetarians

Advantages: taste, price, nutritional value
Disadvantages: Appearnce is a bit bland

Quorn products carry the myth that they are flavourless and just for weird veggies and vegans. Some of the vegeterian products available are pretty bland and are not good alternatives to meat products but these Quorn Pieces are one of the top products available. I have been vegetarian since I can remember as I do not like meat prodcuts for their taste and texture but have enjoyed the taste of meat alternatives for years. Quorn pieces are a great ...
...perfect company to stir fries. Quorn pieces have a longer shelf life than meat product and are cheaper, there are often special offers that allow you to buy two packets for £3. Pieces are good for frying, boiling in sauces or roasting. The rest of my family are all meat eaters but agree that quorn pieces in stir fryies are just as good as chicken and are actually lower in fat. The quorn pieces are bteer than some of the other Quorn prodcucts that ...

Review of New Quorn Chicken-style Flavour Roast

Findus is Fab!!!!

Advantages: Taste lovely, smell nice, cheap and easy to cook
Disadvantages: none at all

Findus have been making their Crispy Pancakes or ages now. I can remember eating these when I was really young when I used to go to gran's house for lunch when I was still at school. Mum used to work and me and my brother didn't want to stay at school for lunch, so mum and gran arranged for us to go to grans house every day. Gran used to give us these in the middle of the week, mainly wednesdays, she liked to stick to a kind of routine, where we ...
...the crispy pancakes day and me and my bro used to really look forward to it. Gran used to give us these with chips mainly. Sometimes she used to give us them with mashed potato, i liked the cardburys smash but gran used to make her own potato and we'd have it with mainly peas, but tinned peas which i never really liked much. I still like Crispy Pancakes now but mum doesn't buy them very often. We have them about once a month. Dad's not really keen ...
