pretend Quorn is chicken to a non-veggie ?

[bulletinthehead]

Had MIL over for tea, was making a bbq chicken dish and then realised that I only had one packet of chicken thighs, when I needed two. Digging in the freezer I found a packet of quorn fillets, so chucked them in the recipe instead.

She is not a veggie, and she commented on how lovely and succulent the "chicken" was. AIBU to have laughed inwardly and not told the truth?

I would have told her the truth. And you also must be a bloody brillant cook too, to manage to make that stuff taste so good!. :)

heh, that's a familiar story around here. Thing is though, if you tell them it's quorn they decide they won't like it....

Perhaps she was commenting on the actual chicken or simply being polite because it was rank...

Ha there is no way you could fool my DDs with quorn. My money is on her being polite.

SoupDragon - If so she is an amazing actor!

I can believe she was fooled - my DP once thought I had cooked a separate chicken dish for him when he was eating quorn - I suspect it was just that I had entirely drowned the quorn with strongly flavoured sauce, mind.

its NOT chicken its FUNGUS

LOL just imagining MIL's face when I tell her that HipHop

I tried to fob a real "meat and two veg" eater off with a Linda McCartney Mince and Onion pie. He said "Not very meaty is it? " I said "Hmm, Morrison's....". Might have got away with it...

I have also given a vegan real sauages by accident. Every one else had veggie sausages and I had TOTALLY forgotten that he had redently returned to veganism after eating meat for a while. He said "These taste very good for veggie sausages" as the penny dropped, I thought about saying "Oh yes, they are this new type" but had to confess. He forgave me.
