Advantages: exceptionally healthy and tasty

Disadvantages: I cant eat more than 3!!!

1a.m its cold and rainy, I'm driving home from work after a long 12 hour shift. I'm also feeling extrodinarily hungry as my mind works through the various items in my cupboard trying to find something that appealed to my ravenous appetite, suitable for eating before bed.
Then my mind hit the jackpot. Which is where this review originates.

I have long been a fan of the humble quorn banger. Coming in at a little over 50 calories per sausage and only 1 1/2 weightwatchers points per pair and listed as a "sin free food" in slimming world, They are the ultimate in speedy, filling, and amazingly succulent vegetarian foods. Incredibly versatile, they make an excellent and healthy salad accompaniment, fried in stock and onions to make an exceptionally tasty hot dog, mixed with sauce in a pasta or even for an excellent veggie version of toad in the hole.

My one and only criticism.. They are far too filling! I have yet to beat 3 in a sitting.

"Quorn" is a trade name of mycoprotein, meaning simply "protein from funghi" long since hailed as a "good food" by its makers it is suitable for all except suffers of egg gluten and wheat allergies.
The sausages are a strange pale colour that changes little during the cooking process, making it hard to tell if they are cooked through initially. frying is certainly a speedier process than grilling. Microwaving isnt recommended, yet my rebellious side is saying "try it!!" just for scentific research purposes you understand!

Cutting the sausage open we see a smooth, tightly packed interior with succulent onion peeping through. The sausages loose nothing of their size and shape during the cooking process nor do they split as their meat filled cousins are apt to do.

Sold in 300g boxes (usually a pack of six) the price varies between supermarkets but is usually between £1.30-£1.70 per box. completely preservative and GM free i would have no trouble in recommending these to anyone.

And so, at 0130, wet, weary, and worn, I stumbled to the sofa clutched in my little mits was a plate of 3 quorn sausages and a cup of nice hot tea. Within seconds memories of my stressful tiring day evaporated and i was transported into a quorny, oniony, heaven. Followed very shortly by a restful nights sleep...

Summary: highly recommended
