I was in the local Wimpy not so long ago and was wondering what I could have to eat as I don't wat meat products but do eat fish but there is never a good variety of things on offer in these restaurant places. Most of the veggie burgers they dish up have peppers in them which I can't eat so I was delighted to see they had added a Quorn burger to their range of foods. The burger is actually a lemon and pepper escalope. When the meal came the escalope was in a bun like a burger and it had salad and mayonaise with it and it was absolutely delicious, I really enjoyed it. A few days later we were out shopping and we got to the Quorn range and I saw the ...  Read the complete review

Lemon & Black Pepper Escalopes are just one of the ever growing chilled products in the Quorn range. Quorn which is manufactured by Marlow Foods has been around since 1985 and was developed in the UK by chemical manufacturer ICI. It is essentially a meat substitute which is high in (non-animal derivived) protein and fibre and is naturally low in fat. The main ingredient in quorn is mycoprotein which is produced by growing and fermenting a fungi called fusarium in large tanks which is then bound with egg whites and other ingredients then added to it. All quorn products are vegetarian society approved and are produced in the UK. The Lemon ...  Read the complete review

I am not a vegetarian presently, but was about 8 years ago (with the call of bacon sandwiches winning me over!). I used to regularly eat Quorn while I ws a veggie and it is a habit I continued with, especially when I was following the Slimming World eating regime, where some Quorn products are considered a 'free food' and are gerneally low in fat and calories. Seeing these Lemon and Black Pepper Escalopes on offer at Asda with a price tag of just £1 I decided to try them. I am currently on Slim Fast in a desparate bid to shed my baby weight (which is nearly a year overdue!!) and so I have one meal in the evening at around 600 calories. Each Quorn escalope ...  Read the complete review

I'm not a vegetarian but lately I've been trying various Quorn products! Quorn is a brand of non meat foods such as mince and chicken. One of the products I've recently tried is the lemon and black pepper escalope's. Quorn products are available in all supermarkets such as Asda, Tesco and Sainsbury's. depending on what product it is you are buying, they can be found in the freezers, or in the refrigerators. They are easy to spot though and stand out nicely on the shelf. These products are found in the fridges alongside the other quorn fresh products. However some quorn products are frozen and therefore can be found in the freezer section. None of ...  Read the complete review

It was whilst I was looking in the "Chillier" cabinets in my local Asda supermarket (in the Vegetarian section, as I had veggie sausage and mash in mind for dinner) that I spotted that several products with the "Quorn" brand name on them were on special offer. Having been vegetarian in the past, a lifestyle of mine that had a span of a decade, I have tried several Quorn products over the years, some of which I still buy regularly and some of which I detest. The Quorn Escalopes have proven to be a bit of a "hit or miss" with me, usually due to whatever coating or stuffing they have - some of them are just not to my ...  Read the complete review
