Advantages: Cheap and tasty

Disadvantages: Can be a little bland on their own

I love quorn products. I first discovered these when I bought my first flat 5 years ago and had to do my own grocery shopping for the first time. The quorn sausages were on offer at a £1 for a box and seemed like a decent bargain.

What is quorn? quorn is made from Mycoprotein, related to mushrooms and truffles from the fungi family. Its a naturally occuring substance which is grown by the makers of quorn under controlled conditions and then processed into products such as burgers and sausages, mince etc...

Quorn sausages are sold in both chilled and frozen packs of 5 or 6 sausages for around £1,50 depending on where you buy them from. They contain less than 60 calories each and are very low in fat which is perfect for me watching my weight.

Quorn sausages taste better than "normal" meat based ones in my opinion, I like them baked in the oven until they go crisp and then served with a mountain of mashed potatoe and baked beans. I also like them chopped up and added to a vegetable soup of stew to add some substance without stodge or fat.

The sausages can be a little bland for some peoples tastes but this can easily be solved by adding them to a dish with plenty of other flavours, such as a spicey casserole. For a cheap, low fat supper they're worth a try and of course are fantastic for veggies who fancy something different.

Summary: Sausages dont have to be fattening
