Someone whose favourite meal is bangers and mash might decide they want to go vegetarian for ethical reasons.
They still want to eat bangers and mash though and that's where a product like this comes in.

Only took 4 comments lol

yeah because pork sausages look just like pigs!

ooh hopefully I can get a hold of some!! usually 3 packs for £5

Same price at Morrisons too, if that helps anyone :smiley:

I wonder how many comments in we'll get before an insecure idiot troll appears... I'm betting 8.

Great price, hot.

All Quorn products are meat free . It is funny how they have to make Quorn products look like , meat , ie sausages and not what the stuff really is. I do not understand how anyone would willingly want to buy , quorn anything ?

Prefer Linda Mccartney sausages, these are tasteless.

These frozen ones are better than the chilled ones. easy to cook in the oven with a bit of oil over them

They're not too bad, pour some veggie gravy on them and you're sorted.

Considering LM died of breast cancer , would you consider still eating her products ?

I really like the Cauldron ones, but they are dearer. I used these in sausage rolls over Christmas and they were fine and good at this price. Thanks OP!

Thanks, rubberbullets. :laughing:

ODing on a modified fungus definitely needs some research into the dangers.

This whole thread has turned way to quorny for my liking. Might as well soak cardboard in gravy.

No they just taste like **it.

Thanks for sharing your personal taste preference. We at HUKD appreciate your time and effort in helping others decide what their personal taste preference is. Have a good day.

I think the fat clogs up their neurons, dropping a few IQ points. Plenty of evidence on HUKD.

Think these are really a good alternative to meat sausages! Cant understand people getting worked up! voted hot thanks op

​I thought quorn was banned/not sold in the USA, or used to be

Quorn is made from a less appetizing fungus (or mold) called Fusarium venenatum.

CSPI urges consumers to avoid Quorn and urges natural-foods retailers like Whole Foods not to sell this product that is dangerous to sensitive individuals.

Fungus!...disgusting! I guess you don't eat mushrooms either?

CSPI is FUD. Total utter BS. Don't make yourself look ignorant and gullible by believing any of the rubbish on that shills website.

Nope. It was never banned. Things just have to go through the usual process of approval which takes time, but every food has to go through.

Why does every Quorn deal have to be filled with people of questionable logical reasoning ability making ridiculous Strawman arguments against Quorn in a blatant attempt to justify their own personal choices which they seem so insecure about..

Yeah I did a bit of a google on it earlier - seems to be more a case of people having concerns over supposed reactions to eating the stuff.

I've tried a range of Quorn products and thought they were thoroughly miserable food options...I'm not a vegetarian but eat and enjoy lots of vegetables and fruits. This isn't a rant against Quorn, merely an opinion.

I really don't understand why people think the sausages are nice but to put this into perspective, I also think the average british (meat) sausage is repulsive junk too!

Think of it like chicken. Just a textured protein, not a lot of inherent flavour as not much fat flavour like pork sausages. But it can easily assume flavours added to it. So sausages cut up in stew/casserole, or from bbq. I personally like them well done and with ketchup/gravy.

There's lots of protein in a banana and lets be honest, they come in the same shape as a sausage! :wink:

I'm not sure if you eat chicken or not but being objective, there's no comparision between real chicken meat and Quorn unless you shift the goalposts completely and use Chicken McNuggets as a comparitive product which you classify as "chicken" :wink:

If you find Quorn sausages interesting to eat that's fine by me but it sounds like you have to have them well done and covered in sauce to make them palatable? Probably a bit like low grade sausages I suppose.... :smiley:

A reduction in flavour is usually the price paid for something healthy :wink:. The nicest tasting things are invariably the most unhealthy. Sugar, salt, or fat. People don't choose Quorn because they want the tastiest thing they can get. They get it for health/ethical reasons. Everyone has a balance between eating for pleasure or purpose. I choose to see food as a fuel foremost. If I really want a treat, I can use the calories/unhealthiness saved with these to use on something like a dessert.

I disagree totally that "the nicest tasting things are invariably unhealthy" there's so many natural products out there that taste wonderful without the need to add anything like salt, sugar or be loaded with fat.

I'd certainly consider a banana to be healthy and generally quite a tasty option for protein in natural form, I'd also recommend nuts, lentils, chick peas etc too.

I don't view a highly processed product like Quorn to be "healthy" not that I'm saying it's "unhealthy" either, I just don't consider it as a healthy option, based on the way it's "created".

It's simply a very highy processed food at the end of the day.

If you are just eating Quorn as a means of "fuel" I can identify with that very easily. The problem I had with Quorn was that it did not live up to the claim that it was almost like meat and was a great meat substitute. I'd say that Quorn could be fairly compared to some very poor quality processed meat products that are so far removed from being made of real meat that the resulting meal was similar...

I've enjoyed soy/tofu based dishes that did mimic meat dishes but that was in China many years ago.

From what I understand Soy based food isn't considered a healthy option these days either but that's not stopped me from eating them on occasion.

Bananas are high in sugars and glycemic index, and only 1% protein. Nuts are high in fats and usually have salt added. Not sure I'd ever eat lentils or chickpeas without sauce or flavouring. There will be variation in healthiness vs flavour, but the fact is our taste buds are tuned to find sugar/salt/fat tastier. Theory being that during the ice age the high energy of those components was essential to survival.

If you want to quantify Quorn in the context of a diet, you need to be more specific than "processed". I literally cannot discern any information from that. It's undergone a "process", but which? And what is the effect of that process?

Quorn is quorn. It doesn't say it's an exact meat replacement. It's made to be a convenient dropin for recipes and how it's cooked, but its its own flavour. I doubt anything healthy will taste just like meat, because they lack the fat component.

I think we must be coming from different wavelengths here.

When I mention nuts, I'm talking about the natural product not a packet of salted peanuts or the like...the nuts I normally consume do not have any added salt but I have eaten salt or sugar coated nuts.

I believe that you need to be more honest about your supposed understanding of "processed" with regards to Quorn. :wink:

My point of view in general is that natural foods are more likely to be a better source of food for your wellbeing. This even includes the methods of raising animals and how they are fed etc.

I tried Quorn with a very open mind and as I said before, I've had soy/tofu based meals in the past which I enjoyed but Quorn was utterly disappointing. To put that into perspective, it came in plastic and carboard packaging and lets be honest, most food products that come in this manner are usually fairly low grade.

I personally find nuts without the sunflower oil and salt added to be quite tasteless personally, such as peanuts.

Regarding "processed" I'm being entirely honest. There is no definition of it. It is the past tense of a word that describes a series of chemical or mechanical operations. Cutting something up with a knife could be classed as "processed", but does not affect the nutritional value of it. You need to be specific. Which process, and why is that process bad. Otherwise it's meaningless.

There is a very general correlation between packaged/"processed" foods being less healthy, but that does not mean ALL food packaged/"processed" is bad. Simply more likely. Which is poor information. American food is more likely to be bad for me, but I can't then say all American food is bad for you. It's such a broad generalisation that it's next to completely useless. If someone is completely ignorant of nutrition, then it's a step up, but people who have the slightest bit of knowledge about nutrition will not benefit from this classification. Might as well say "It's bad because stuffs been done to it".
Just like being "unprocessed" doesn't automatically mean it's good for you. There's plenty of natural plants that are toxic or addictive drugs.

I see the great Quorn debate remains unabated.

Personally, I think this is a good deal. Thanks for posting.
