I hate the Linda McCartney sausages. Cauldron all the way.
I hate the Linda McCartney sausages. Cauldron all the way.Some Quorn stuff is lovely, so too some Linda McCartney stuff.
There are some poor ones amongst their ranges too though. Had to find out the hard way what was tasty and was a good meat substitute and what tasted like cardboard.
The LM sausages are very nice I would say. Not so keen on the Quorn sausages.
Quorn southern fried chicken is nice and I like the Quorn roast too.
I am now thinking of selling my soul to seitan though.
Chickened out of trying it at Fargo Village, but mainly because I put myself on a strict diet at the time.
Never tried them.I hate the Linda McCartney sausages. Cauldron all the way.
I think they’re a bit boring. Tesco and Asda won brand are betterNever tried them.
Worth having a go then I would guess. Do you like Quorn sausages?
I see a number of restaurants and cafes use the LM ones. Harvester in particular.
Just trying to guage. I thought that if you don't like LM, but do like Quorn and I don't like Quorn, but do like LM, then it may just be a question of taste.I think they’re a bit boring. Tesco and Asda won brand are better
Ah, I don't do that.I don't have a problem with veggies. It is up to them if they want to kill a plant so they can eat it.
Yeah, tried Oomph. Liked it.My sons been veggie for about 6 months ..so most nights I go veggie too ,I must admit the taste and texture of oomph ( they sell it in tescos) is the closest I have had to real meat
You know you're getting old, Houch, when you start telling the same story you told us all before all over again.I just don't get the veggie / vegan thing at all. I've tried eating Linda McCartney sausages and there were bleedin' foul! I literally spat them out. Sorry, but to me, being a veggie / vegan is like washing your feet with socks on - totally pointless. Also, can't beat a bacon sarnie or a lovely sirloin / fillet steak!
My step daughter is veggie and I have never been so embarrassed in all my life when she came to the island recently and we went for Sunday lunch in my local pub. She asked for the veggie option, which was delivered to the table. She'd had a small bite of a roast potato and asked the waitress what they had been cooked in. "I'm so sorry" said the waitress, "but they were cooked in lard!" My daughter stood up and almost screamed the place down, shouting, "Where's the toilet! I need to be sick!" and promptly stormed off to the bogs. They offered to replace her dinner but she refused point blank.
If that's what being a bleedin' veggie is like, then give me beautiful meat every time!
Very fair point.It must be a bit of a head fuck when vegans have a baby, surely breast feeding goes against everything they believe in?
I don't get the need to have food that tastes like meat when you choose not to eat meat??
That's the thing that would be offputting. People won't pay silly money when they can feed a family with meat for less with the same sort of quality.
Have only used Quorn Mince and bits of chicken and would quite happily eat it all the time in meals but it's cheaper to just get mince.
Same with Gluten free stuff as well.
Yep, definitely and ridiculously so.It’s actually just as cheap to buy quorn as it is meat...
going gram by gram there is about a 3p difference...
I have recently turned vegetarian about 3 months ago and food is cheaper...
The price difference is overstated by many.
Vegan is different that’s very expensive...
fair point, my missus is a veggie and just doesn't like the taste of meat when she was a kid so chose not to eat it. Generally she eats the non meat tasting veggie products rather than the likealike products. We were in Scotland to see my dad once and he brought Veggie bacon, it looked like plasticine!Health and environmental reasons. I love a burger but I should eat less meat. I’d be all over this if it’s reasonably priced and tastes good. And I’m not even a veggie.
Yeah, texture isn't great, but I like the flavour.fair point, my missus is a veggie and just doesn't like the taste of meat when she was a kid so chose not to eat it.

Bacon is the reason I would never go veggie!!!Yeah, texture isn't great, but I like the flavour.
People are veggies for different reasons. I love the taste of meat and I do especially miss having bacon, but can't see me ever going back.
We are not vegetarians, but for some reason (that escapes me) we tried Linda McCartney sausages. They were awful. Never again.I hate the Linda McCartney sausages. Cauldron all the way.

They look good. My own personal substitute for a sausage though is the simple mushroom. Fry some onion in olive oil, add some sliced mushrooms, don’t stir them at the start though and don’t stir them regularly as that releases water from them and makes them slimey, when they’re cooked move them to one side of the pan, get a ciabatta roll, slice it in two and place them in the pan sliced side down to toast and suck up the juices, when crispy put the mushrooms in them, salt and pepper to taste and you have the best sausage sandwich substitute ever. Tastier if anything.I know they're only a sausage in shape, but I don't mind these

Kind of prove the point again that it's not trying to impersonate a pig that works... for me, anyway.

Sounds good I'd go for portabello mushrooms - really can taste the difference.They look good. My own personal substitute for a sausage though is the simple mushroom.

Love that stuff but finding it hard to find at the momentHas anyone tried that Swedish Glace vegan ice cream?
Everyone I give it to can simply not believe it is vegan. It is so creamy.
Don't like the Quorn mince to be honest. Find it a bit bland. Prefer the chicken stuff.
Had a Quorn chicken and mushroom pie and it was bloody lovely!!
Must say I am not keen though on veganism being rammed down our throats all the time.
And Quorn have just brought out Vegan 'ham' slices. I already eat the veggie ones, but now my local Tesco has replace the veggie ones with vegan ones and they are now 50p more.
Sounds to me like they have taken ingredients out and then put the price up.

tbh I'd wondered since they introduced it...!It’s calked Kevin. Without looking it up can anyone work out why?
