[Dr The Singh]

frozen quorn mince?

I dunno, is it any good???

[Katy]

... and a complete misnoma, surely it would be a quorn pie, or maybe a tofufarmers pie?

Quorn comes in all different forms though, Allen was right in calling it a Quorn Shepherds pie so you know exactly what he's made.

You can get quorn mince frozen in bags but there's that realeat stuff which I think is what you are referring to. Quorn is the dogs though to be fair in the false meat steaks (haha you see what I did there )

If you mean that, it's been a long time since I tried it.

I now avoid all sorts of textured protein-type stuff,

as it seems too artificial...

The taste would depend on your cooking abilities and your use of spices

(from your username, you should be safe there )

It may seem artificial but it's not

Thanks for the info folks, it's just that a few of my aunties are veggies and it would be good if we couls cook them something other then veggie curries!!!

I wouldn't be so sure...

Do you know how they texture protein?

(They also claim that some sweeteners are "natural" - as the starting point is a natural product/substance - but in fact they are classed as artificial sweeteners, e.g. aspartame. I don't want to go anywhere near that one, for instance)

Beware its Allergic qualities....my brother was violently ill on the M25 about 30 mins after eating it!

Veggie curry doesn't sound that appealing to me... if I'm having a curry, it best have something meaty in it.

[Katy]

Everyone is different though ay. It's actually derived from mushrooms and I am allergic to mushrooms but have had no ill effects from eating quorn. Weird.

I'm definitely not turning Veggie at any point in my life if it means eating mushrooms.

If you have it made from the Quorn chicken style pieces it's bloody lovely.

I should work for the Quorn promotion board shouldnt I?

I avoid mushrooms like the plaque they make me throw up. Im fine with Quorn though. Allergies are bizzare.

It depends, on the dish, I suppose, paneer and saag cooked the right way are as good as any meat dish. MYself though, i prefer meat, Lamb curry is the best!!!

Perhaps... I'm not convinced yet, so maybe you ought to practice a little more before you go for a position there.

Bloody bizzare... it's a shame I don't have allergies related to mushrooms - it'd be a better way of encouraging people not to try and sneak mushrooms into the food they prepare for me.

The slimy bastards (the people, not the mushrooms)

Which makes me wonder how exactly it is derived from mushrooms...

(at least something has been taken out)

I haven't had a good curry in years, sadly.

In fact, I haven't had an Indian curry in years... Thai from time to time, but it's just not the same.

I preferred they were of the chicken or pork variety - though I was never really sure if pork was a legitimate meat to use in a curry scenario.

SOunds too dangerous, this artificial meat stuff....i'm sticking to veg curries or pizza or something!!

It says on the packet. Personally im glad whatever it is has been taken out. Quorn is basically half of my weekly diet.

I'd definitely prefer the chicken (or turkey even).

[Head Honcho]

frozen quorn mince?

Thats what I used

It's ok if you disguise it in a pie with veg, mashed spuds and topped with cheese.

I getting hungry should I stick it in the oven now or wait till the missus gets home

What time does she get home?

You could chop some onions, garlic etc to get started?

Always good to add to meat/meat substitutes

ANy meat is good, but cooking lamb\chicken\pork is slightly different though, and the texture and composition of the curry is different!!

Take away, curry is very fattening, but home cooked can be quite healthy, although a proper curry does take around 2-3 hours to make!!!

The curries I've had over the years are mostly home-made ones (well, using a jar of curry stuff I mean ) or those at a 'proper' restaurant (no chance of a take-away at these places). That's mostly down to my parents - my dad doesn't like to eat sh/t or poorly cooked food, and my mum suspects places that do take-away didn't cook the meat properly.
