Guest guest Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Yes, and we (in my house) all like Quorn breaded chick'n patties; even my son who usually scowls at most veggie unmeats. I don't really think they taste like I recall chicken tasted. Once a person here on the list told me that she and her husband eat them as one would a fish sandwich, with tartar sauce, lettuce and tomato on a hard roll. Ever since I tried them that way, that is how I like them best. ~ PT ~ The plainest sign of wisdom is a continual cheerfulness: her state is like that of things in the regions above the moon, always clear and serene. ~ Michel de Montaigne ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~> , rmeekster@r... wrote: > Hi everyone! > > Have any of you ever tried the Quorn chick'n cutlets or > patties?

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 I bet the grocery stores near you have them, Dave. I know we have Quorn products here in Southern Oregon. I have found them in the freezer sections of Fred Meyer, Albertsons, and Price Chopper. I have seen the Quorn Roast, chik'n nuggets, chik'n patties and cutlets, but that is about it for here. I know they have many other products that they make, and some frozen entrees as well its just that the stores around me don't carry them. ~ feral ~ Like winds and sunsets, wild things were taken for granted until progress began to do away with them.Ê Now we face the question whether a still higher " standard of living " is worth its cost in things natural, wild and free.Ê For us of the minority, the opportunity to see geese is more important than television. ~ Aldo Leopold, " A Sand County Almana ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~~~~~~~> , " Dave " <2davidm@g...> wrote: > do they have Quorn products out in so cal I never heard of that brand > but then I haven't gone shopping in awhile? thanks stay cool Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Yes, I enjoy quorn products. I like the " chiken " patties are good but don't taste a whole lot like I remember chicken tasted. I eat them more now as a replacement for fish filet... tartar sauce, lettuce, tomatoe on a whole wh.wheat bun for those day I crave one. I think the quorn tenders are versatile to use in stir-fry when I don't want to consume soy; I try to avoid eating a whole lot of soy, so using them helps to break up my diet. I must state that they are a bit dry, but if eaten with lots of crispy veggies and a nice sauce they are quite delicious. I like the quorn roasts and think it is a great turkey alternative for the holidays when I want something like that; the leftovers make nice turkey sandwiches. I have never gotten sick or felt ill after eating this product. ~ feral ~ Our final bliss, perfectly passionate, perfectly kind: It is our first love, long since left behind. ~ Ruth Pitter, " Good Enthroned " ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~~> replying to this post: morgaana wrote:I remember reading about this maybe 2 years ago when it hit the market in the US. I've only recently seen Quorn products in the stores here. So far I've just tried the " chicken " patties and found them to be pretty good. Kind of a spongy texture. Taste is almost slightly sweet. No ill effects. Has anyone else tried Quorn? What was your experience? Personally, I figure it's had vigorous testing in the European market for, what, 15+ years?

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Laura, I looked at Quorn products when they were first available in my market a couple of years ago. Like you, I wasn't sure about them and did not buy them (maybe it was the packaging). Someone recently recommended Quorn chicken nuggets to me and I bought them. My son -- who is super picky and way underweight -- ate three nuggets at dinner, which is about two and three-quarters more than he usually will eat. They were pretty tasty, though I thought a bit too much like chicken so people who avoid the analog stuff might not go for them. I have bought them again and I am also trying the crumbles and a couple of their other products. You know how the prune industry decided one day that prunes were going to be known as " dried plums " ? I think the Quorn people should lose the fungus angle and think up something that's a bit more appetizing! N.B. The chicken nuggets are not vegan.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 That might have been me.. my daughter loves some quorn. It is made out of genetically engineered fungus. Think fake mushrooms or something. A lot people have a problem with quorn. But it tastes very good. And has a very meaty texture that IMO soy just doesn't have. It also contains egg whites so it is not suitable for vegans. My husband has not been too receptive to my trying to go vegan so I still cook a lot of quorn and veat (which contains a small amount of whey) for them. I absolutely don't eat eggs or milk.. but some of these products like quorn and veat that had become such a staple of our diets are harder to weed out. Sometimes they eat that stuff and I fix something vegan friendly for myself and sometimes I figure its a small enough amount in that it doesn't matter. I might not be able to stomach drinking milk or eating eggs but if it just a tiny amount well hidden in something.. it doesn't bother me so much. I don't really see veal = milk.. its just not the same thing. I may never make that connection. But I do understand about the veal comes from baby male calves that are taken from dairy cows. I get that by consuming any dairy I indirectly support the veal industry. So that's why I am mostly vegan. I'm still working thru making the connection and I keep getting closer and closer to vegan.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Quorn is actually pretty good. I've had it, but it does have eggs in it. I've e-mailed Quorn about battery caged hens, and they have some pretty solid implementation that does not use battery hens. You can e-mail them privately for info. http://www.quorn.com Jodi progressive7862 wrote: > Hey, > > Someone mentioned that a child likes quorn. Who's tried it?

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 I loved Quorn when I was vegetarian, but I'm vegan now and it contains egg whites. I think there was a study done that indicated some people got diarrhea or stomach upset from it. It never bothered me, though, and people have been eating it in the UK for ages with no problem. Every food in existence could potentially cause digestion problems in some people. --------Val Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 You probably did read something about it a year or so ago regarding making people sick. I have been eating the products for three years now. Even during the time of making " people sick " . I think they are wonderful. It is a really good product to give to family members or friends who eat chicken. My mother who is a meat-eater but is willing to always try what my daughter and I eat had a " chicken " sandwich and wondered how they made this. She liked them very much. They are more expensive than others but I think they are worth every penny! -- Courtney wife to Seth (2/97) mom to Mackenzie (5/01) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 From my understanding, the people who were getting sick were those who were allergic to mushrooms and other fungi. I love the Quorn products! My husband especially loves the naked cutlets, they are like chicken breasts and are really yummy baked with Goddess dressing on top.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 Regarding Quorn making people sick--the advocacy group Center for Science in the Public Interest HATES Quorn (they refer to it as " vat-grown mold " !). They claim that it causes allergic reactions (some severe) in many people. They also say that reactions may not be immediate, but may be triggered after building up a sensitivity. They are trying to convince the FDA to take it off the market. I haven't spent a lot of time evaluating their campaign (I prefer other fake chicken products, such as the vegan Gardenburger chicken griller--so yummy!), but for those who are interested, here's a link for more information: http://www.cspinet.org/quorn Karen Win a $20,000 Career Makeover at HotJobs http://hotjobs.sweepstakes./careermakeover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Unfortunately, I do not like quorn - I don't like the taste or texture...however, I also do not like mushrooms...hmm... As far as the best in " fake meats " I like Veat " chicken " & so does the gang. It is getting hard to find though. I also like the fake smoked deli " turkey " that comes in a brown box - I don't know where I get it, but when I spot it I grab a few - it is really yummy. I don't know if either of these is vegan...I'm pretty sure Veat is. m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 i like Quorn. i am going to eat it tomorrow with my St. Patrick's Day dinner of cabbage, potatoes, onions and corn. i have never had trouble digesting the Quorn products i have tried thus far. But i do know one lady on this list that can't eat the Quorn crumbles but can eat all the other stuff just fine. i guess my take on it is, give it a try [that is if it fits your veg path choice and you do eat eggs]. But if you are allergic to mushrooms and deathly allergic to most fungi i think you should never try it! ~ pt ~ What soap is for the body, tears are for the soul. ~ Jewish proverb ~~~*~~~*~~~> , " linda " <lindai81 wrote: > > I don't eat Quorn as it isn't vegan, but someone sent these links to me about Quorn and allergy problems with it and just thought I would send it along as just a point of information since it comes up in here often and appears to be well liked.

" We " being, my daughter (a vegetarian in process) and I – very good! My daughter told me I had to buy a lot more. My very carnivorous son decided he wanted to try one, and then asked for another , but my sceptical husband would only try one bite. He didn't comment on taste, only wanted to know what it really was *LOL*.
