"100% meat is the best.
Except for the planet. "
It's natural..it's better than factories producing artificial meat products. When you take into consideration how much energy factories use to produce the artificial products, not to mention the stuff that is put into the products. If you smelt the bi product of Quorn you would never touch it again. It smells way beyond vile. |

Theres some wild mushrooms such as Beef stake, chicken/hen of the woods, Penny bun aka porcini that don’t try to emulate meat but are as substantial and excellent accompaniment to any vegan/ vegetarian dish. And there free and given by the beauty of nature. Just know what your picking.  |

I'm a veggie for 30 years and yes, Quorn is overrated and hugely overpriced. Most Linda Mc products also. Much better to replace meat with pulses or other veg. |

Personally, I agree and I can't stand the stuff. I have veggie kids (who don't eat many veggies) and they love it. I also have meat-eaters. I prefer beans etc but I do have the quorn.  |

"Someone told me how quorn was made and I was majorly grossed out  "
If you seriously consider how meat is made then you might be majorly grossed out. Basically pretty well everything we put into our bodies is pretty disgusting in some way or other.
Disclaimer: Yes I do eat meat, yes I do think about this stuff, yes I do periodically worry about the ethics of it. I don't deny meat eaters and I don't deny vegetarians and vegans. It's all a matter for the individual and their own conscience. |

"Sorry, Quorn is fucking vile….and I have to resort to profanity to underline how vile it is.
It’s like tiny cardboard spitballs….but worse."
I had quorn once. Ate it and within minutes I was shouting down the big white telephone. Never again. |

I have a sensitivity to it. It doesn't make me vom, but it can make me feel a bit dizzy and slightly spaced out, and sometimes can make my skin itch and my fingers and toes feel tingly.
As someone further up in the thread said, if I'm cutting down on meat I'd rather use peas, beans and lentils than a fake meat. |

this all the way, why try to replecate something thats already there, if you are vegie, and thats fine, more meat for me, then dont try and pretend its not vegie |

Im almost 40 years vegetarian and am not a fan of quorn at all! For me I really don’t want to eat something that has been made to resemble meat in texture or flavour! I do use it occasionally when cooking for my non vegi kids tho, they like the mince but nothing else  Miss pc |

There's a lot of variation imo: I'm not a fan of the mince; the homogeneous pieces are fine in a curry; the crispy nuggets are great.
If you don't like Quorn though there are plenty of alternatives nowadays thanks to our vegan friends |

The really weird thing is when you see vegi food that has been made to look like meat. I don't mean just burgers or sausages, that's okay as they're just convenient shapes to put inside bread buns. But in some places I've seen non-meat that has been sculpted into the shape of a chicken, complete with drumsticks. Or into the shape of prawns or lobster.
Anybody that doesn't eat meat on ethical grounds (must be most vegetarians?) is surely not going to enjoy having something on the table that is made to smell, taste and look like a dead animal? |

Never quite got the vegan thing, the animals concerned are essentially vegan so the meat produced is vegan based.
Yeh I'm in favour of organic farming rather than battery style, but the whole vegan thing seems to be more of a money making concept rather than a principal, hence you have Quorn. It is going more momentum. The danger is will it substitute eat altogether. |

It's all going against nature! We have binocular vision (our eyes face forward) therefore we are hunters and eat meat. This is the case with nearly all hunters, cats, dogs, owls etc. Animals with monocular vision tend to be hunted. They have eyes either side of their heads to look out for predators. Why are so many people trying to go against nagure? |

I think you may be referring to vegetarians since most quorn products have egg in it. |

I’m guessing you didn’t chase it catch it kill it with your bear hands and teeth ;p
Each has to determine what’s right for them in life choices and many vegans were once meat eaters so understand of all and judge none. |

Quorn nuggets are pretty good, everything else is just bland. I agree with what has been said already though, if you’re veggie, why try to make something that resembles meat?
Our teeth and digestive system are designed for meat eating as much as for vegetation. We don’t have enough stomachs to take all the nutrients we need from vegetation.
Also if it’s so good for you, why do vegans always look ill? Well in my experience they do anyway. |

Not judging anyone, just saying it aint natural. Us humans are the only mammal that appear to want to change what nature has set up Can't imagine a lion or a crocodile going vegan |

"I love quorn mince for making lasagna but I don’t like the fake chicken pieces.
"
Me too. But I tried a thing called "this is not chicken " and I really loved it. Even my meat eating friends all liked it. Bit pricey though. (As usual) |

Who cares where people's eyes are. I could talk about our long intestines. Makes no difference. Makes no difference what other animals eat either. We are human. We have a brain that can make a decision on what's right. What's wrong. And the fact is animal cruelty is wrong. |

I've tried it in various forms but really I'm not a fan. I found it so dry and the texture was so rubbery. Almost impossible to swallow. I mostly eat only white meat and vegetables. Hate anything that's "reformed".
My grandkids have specifically requested Quorn nuggets on occasions though so maybe it's a generational thing. They seem to love the stuff. |
