Definitely quorn roast.

It's pretty lol non-veggies having a go about quorn, but I suppose it's fair enough considering all those rabid anti-meat threads we vegsters stick up on here in Bizarro Urban75

How the fuck do you make decent spag bol without a beef flavour? It's meant to be a thick beefy sauce, not a sea of tomato with a few random bits of fungi protein chunks

Quorn's ok, but when people start pretending that it's somehow better than the thing it's meant to be substituting you're on ropey ground. It's a different textural experience, but it's not a miracle product with chameleon properties.

Eurgh I would not want a beef flavour

I have cooked a meat spag bol for an ex and the smell of the mince cooking was foul to me. I don't care if my version does not replicate the meat one, that is not what I am going for at all :D
 
fwiw, i actually agree with dilli on most of what he's said here. rather than purposefully trying to find a meat substitute for every meal i would far rather make something tasty out of the veg i do have (and frequently do). however, there are one or two quorn products that i find tasty in their own right such as the scotch eggs and chicken pieces, and god be damned, i'll defend my right to eat them :mad:
 
I've enjoyed lots of very tasty Quorn meals and I don't give a fuck about what the meat eaters think about that. However 'questionable' the stuff may be, it's got a long way to go until it reaches the cruel and dubious depths of the majority of the meat production industry.

Mutant battery farmed chickens that never see the light of day? No thanks, squire.

ed - that isn't what I am trying to say!

I can just about understand that.

If I went vegetarian though, I would just eat meals based around vegetables, and not bother having replacement meat products.

It is not like there is a shortage of delicious vegetarian meals or anything.

I don't know. It still doesn't make sense. Not for me, anyway.

With all this veggie food around then, why do you eat meat? ;)

ETA: all i mean is i assume people eat quorn for the same reason others eat meat - they like it!
 
Why have people reacted in such a hostile way to what seems a pretty innocent observation? :confused:

I agree with Dillinger - veggies and pulses are great in themselves, and I don't see the point of rather tasteless meat substitutes. That's not knocking anyone who does like them and it's not a gibe at vegetarians: it's just an expression of personal preference. Why are some people being so touchy about it? :confused:

I eat plenty of vegetables. I cook lots of vegetarian dishes. Vegetables are delicious.

Why make a spag bol with rubbish mince when you could make a simple vegetarian meal that is infinitely more delicious because vegetables are the main ingredient?

That post reads like you have your hands in the air going 'But what's the problem' in a way that indicates you know wxactly what the problem is but you're up for a smallish bunfight about it.

To me, anyway.,

I'm certainly not interested in a bunfight, and if I were I could think of plenty of more worthwhile subjects to start one over than quorn. I was just musing on why some people have reacted so badly to what seemed a perfectly innocuous observation - and no, I don't 'know exactly what the problem is,' hence the :confused:

A lot of people are being very touchy.

I feel my point is reasonable, and that there is not very much to get so touchy about.

I'm not getting touchy. Though I getting touchy with other people being touchy and encouraging others to be touchy :mad:

Which is probably why I don't make it very often. But occasionally I fancy it. And on those occasions when I do, I happen to personally prefer it to meaty spag bol. So what's the problem?! (not being touchy, just answering the question!)
 
fakeplasticgirl said:
also, the quorn mince is really good for making spag bol. if you get a decent sauce going it soaks up a lot of flavour, is low calorie and much cheaper than disgusting mince!

Agree with the other points but its certainly not cheaper.
Prices at my local tesco

I mostly don't like quorn, apart from the little "snack eggs" I think they call them, and the sausage rolls.

Even though this was meant to be "favourite", I was able to vote for two, so I did :D

It's just something that meat-eaters frequently say, and is usually used as an anti-veggie argument. I mean why single out meat substitutes? It seems a little arbitrary. I find potatoes rather tasteless by themselves. What's the difference?
 
having never tryed quorn I was going to try what ever won this poll, but since 'none of 'em, they're all ruddy filthy' is winning I might give quorn a miss! :rolleyes::p

Me either.

I am actually surprised that the suggestion that a vegetarian meal with fresh vegetables as the main ingredient is superior to a meat-substitute meal would be so controversial.

Ok, fair enough, I'm sure I got some ages ago for about 80p, but it was probably reduced.
