Re: What are your thoughts about Quorn?

  • i have never heard of it so i have no thoughts.  what is it?
  • lol i just noticed this is Large Marge.  you got me.  how are you?
  • Don't worry, this is not the Large Marge that was a troll on ML.  I am the real and first LM and someone liked the name and made a similar one for trolling.  Quorn is a meat substitute made from mushroom-like fungus.

  • I'm not a huge fan of meat replacements in general but it's not bad.  I prefer the flavor of Boca but I can't eat soy and Quorn is the only meat substitute I've found that doesn't use it.  DH eats meat so there are times when we make chicken for him and it's just easier to make a Quorn chicken pattie for me than to do 2 completely different meals.

    Tired after a long morning of hiking and swimming.
  • I like it a lot for stir-fries and curries. I used to use it pretty regularly.  I generally avoid meat substitutes now and just eat the real thing or something such as beans or occasionally tofu.
  • It is my favorite fake meat.  Both in terms of taste and ingredients.  We don't eat them all the time but they are a good quick treat, and DS loves them too (but refuses to eat DH's "real" chicken LOL it cracks me up every time).

    This is my favorite chicken substitute when I need to use it. I've found that the taste and texture are better than any other "chicken" that I've tried. I don't use it often though, only in recipes that absolutely need something to replace the meat.

     Another thing I like is textured soy protein, it makes a great substitute for ground beef in things like chili and you can get it dry in bulk at Whole Foods.

  • I just bought a bag of the meatballs from whole foods this weekend. Havent made them yet, but glad to hear good comments on the brand.

  • I really want to try it but DH is deadset again it.  He didn't like mushrooms for the longest time, and just started liking them recently.  So I can't get him anywhere near a "mushroom-like fungus" Tongue Tied

  • This is our favorite meat substitute.  H is slowly transitioning over to veggie-only at home, and this is the first meat substitute I've tried with him that he actually likes.  We use the chik'n tenders for stir fry, the naked cutlets with marinades occasionally, and sometimes the southwestern wings for a quick snack. 

    Oh, and we just tried the grounds for the first time today in tacos - H liked them A LOT more than the morningstar grounds.

    lol, tell him neither the flavor nor texture (of the chicken-like products, at least) resemble mushrooms at all! He'd never know if he didn't know.
