Guest guest Posted March 29, 2002 Report Share Posted March 29, 2002 Did anyone else hear on NPR earlier this wek the piece about " Quorn " ? " Quorn " is the biggest product here in Europe for vegetarian things suck has burgers, nuggets, dogs etcetera. It is trying to start up there in the US but is still waiting for approval. All the products are really yummy, but I would imagine that the soy industry wouldn't be happy for it to come there as it is derived from a fungus rather than soy. I just finished having Quorn " tuna " for lunch - delicious!!! Carmen in Zurich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still calling them and asking for them to make it vegan. They told me they have no plans for that in the near future.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2002 Report Share Posted April 1, 2002 I just read about it in a health magazine. According to the article, the line of meat-free foods is supposed to be available at stores and restaurants across the US by mid-2002. However, Quorn foods aren't vegan -- they do contain a small amount of egg and dairy.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2002 Report Share Posted April 2, 2002 I missed the piece on NPR, but if it was truly an NPR show, I will get the transcript. Fresh Fields has been carry these products since January. I usually don't eat or like fake meat products, but I had to try this stuff since I had heard so much about them. I used the hamburger-style crumbles in marinara sauce and it was terrific. Since my toddler was starving, I didn't even saute them with onion or let it blend with the sauce very long before serving. I was shocked by how good it was; no weird after taste! I also tried the chunks of chicken and the chicken nuggets. I would say the products were very good, because they totally creeped me out and I couldn't really eat them. It tasted and felt just like chicken to me. My son wouldn't eat it at all; he's been veg since birth. So, if you are looking for a fake meat product and you are NOT vegan, definitely try this product. It's really, really " good.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2002 Report Share Posted April 3, 2002 Actually, it's here in the US already. I bought some " chicken " in March, but haven't tried it yet.
