Ever since I was young I have never really been a huge fan of meat and for the past 6 years I have been a vegetarian on and off (I stopped being a vegetarian because it was an 'inconvenience' for an ex boyfriend mother ... bad decision I know but easily rectified as since then I have returned to my vegetarian way for a year). Even when I wasn't a vegetarian I had always had quorn included in my diet by my mother who would often use it in her cooking due to its low calorific content, for example I don't think i have eatten real mince in a spaghetti bolognaise since i was about 4 years old and as I love quorn it really doesn't bother me. *** What is ...  Read the complete review

I have been a vegetarian for over 6 years now and use a wide range of Quorn products. **What is Quorn?** Quorn is a mycoprotein, it is made from a member of the fungi family, but doesn't taste anything like mushrooms. Quorn is high in protein, dietary fibre and has essential amino acids. It is low in fat and has absolutely no cholesterol. Quorn has a vast range of products, from snacks to ready meals and a selection of these are show below: Snacks: Cocktail Sausages, Golden Poppin' Bites, Mini Cornish Pasties, Mini Sausage Rolls, Mini Savoury Eggs, Deli Slices, Mini Spring Rolls, Satay Skewers.

I'm not a vegetarian but I do have a lot of friends that are so I do eat a lot of meat free products as it is easier to just cook quorn rather than make to separate meals for when they come round to eat. I have grown quite fond of quorn and don't mind the taste. I also find that it is much easier for my children to eat as it is very soft and they don't notice the difference. One of the things I like to cook is a good old stew using the quorn chicken style pieces. This goes down a treat with my friends.... 1. Boil some water in a pan and add about 6 vegetable stock cubes (I use oxo) Add 1 onion chopped. 2. Add carrots, potatoes, ...  Read the complete review

Quorn is a vegetable substitute for meat but to me it is nothing like the texture, or consitency of meat. The feel of the pieces in my mouth is really enough to make me want to push the plate away and leave the table in disgust. It is made from a highly nutritious and totally vegetarian mycoprotein which is an excellent source of dietary fibre. It is naturally low in fat and calories so is likely to be of benefit to those trying to lose, or control weight. 100grms of minced quorn contains 2g of fat, while conventional lean minced beef contains around 16g. Quorn contains no cholestrerol and tests have shown that it may even reduce ...  Read the complete review

I've never really been a big meat eater, even before i turned veggie a few years ago. I decided to finally take the plunge because ethically, eating meat was not something which sat comfortably with me (Dont worry, i promise not to preach! My other half is still a carnivore) and i deal with other people making their own choices in life, but personally it just doesn't sit right. Well... you know that deal i made about not preaching? Maybe ill just have a little preach... :P I know this is a review about quorn, but i just though it might be useful first to specify the different types of vegetarianism. A few too many times i have had the conversation; "Oh, ...  Read the complete review
