For those of us who are unfamiliar with Quornâ?˘, it is a brand name of a line of meat-free and soy-free food product that is high in protein content. Quornâ?˘ has been sold in Britain since 1985 and made its US debut in 2002. Today, Quornâ?˘ is the market leader in retailing meat free food.
So if Quornâ?˘ is meat-free and soy-free, what is the source of protein in the food? Good question. Itâ??s an edible fungus called Fusarium venenatum, which, incidentally, is not a mushroom. Mushrooms are fungi, but not all fungi are mushrooms.
Because Quornâ?˘ is a processed food; it comes in many shapes and forms. You can get Quornâ?˘ patties, Quornâ?˘ burgers, Quornâ?˘ nuggets, Quornâ?˘ tendersâ?¦the list goes on and on.
Quornâ?˘ mince is just another form of the protein food source that resembles chopped meat. So you can put Quornâ?˘ mince in shepherdâ??s pie, spaghetti, lasagna, Sloppy Joes, chili, and whatever else you feel like.
Strict vegans might want to re-think Quornâ?˘ consumption since it uses egg white as a binder and some products contain milk.

My mother once made this amazing Chilli for myself and my wife and while I was eating it she kept looking at me with this odd grin on here face.
Once I had consumed my last mouthful (of my second helping) she asked me,”What did you think of the meat?”
“Very nice” I replied.
“Well, it’s not meat at all Son” she chuckled “It’s made with Quorn”
Ever since, we only have Quorn chilli. However, the wife doesn’t like Kidney beans - is there a substitute for those?!
Use borlotti beans. Much nicer
What benefit is there to toasting bread instead of just eating it untoasted? If there is no benefit, how much electric energy is wasted on toasting in the U.S. of A., do you think?
