The Accidental Vegitarian

[dan_g]

My wife accidentally bought Quorn / Fake meat. No kidding. She truely didn't realise that Quorn was a vegitarian alternative. TBH I know why, While the chinese eat TOFU, they do so mixed in with meat dishes, they dont really 'do' vegitarianism, something about a famine in living memory probably helps with arguement that you eat what your damn

Quorn is a much better as a source of protein than vegetables though

OK, but why not make it its own thing? Rather than just trying to replcate and replace meat, and falling short instead sell it as a block of protein with recepies for meals around quorn itself?

OK, I am being blasé. I can sort of see the point in the sausages and burgers at Bar-b-q's allowing everyone to participate, and based on my experience with Tofu, my statement above is probably already covered... I just found it to be... dissapointing. I would certainly not plan to be vegetarian based on my experience of Quorn.

omnivore, noun
noun: omnivore; plural noun: omnivores1. an animal or person that eats a variety of food of both plant and animal origin.

You are mixing up with herbivore (plant eaters)

This will all come in useful when school hits the Dinosaur projects mate!

[dan_g]

ahhh, Carnivores, Herbiviores and fussy eaters in that order.

Quorn is such a meh-food. HOWEVER. The 'southern style' burgers are great! Truly the standout quorn product. I buy them on purpose sometimes.

Otherwise if I want non-meat meat-format food there is nowt wrong with a vegetable quarter pounder or a mushroom or bean burger. Much better than the fake meat types, they never feel filling enough.

Also I'm not sure what the point of Quorn falafel is since it is made out of chickpeas and already vegetarian...hmm
