Thanks in anticipation...is to go with usual veg a poppable in the ovenable once turkey is done!

I think its a GM mushroom/funghi thing.
Don't quote me though.

real definition:

Mycoprotein (brand name Quorn) was developed by food scientists when searching for a cheap, vegetarian protein food with which to feed the Third World. It's made by fermentation of the fungus, Fusarium gramineurum.

After harvesting, the fungus is filtered and drained. The resulting sheet of fungal mycelia is mixed with egg albumen which acts a binder. Flavouring and colouring can also be added.

[puke] !

It is also bound with egg white, so is not suitable for vegans or egg allergic people ect.

bleuurrgh!....don't know why as I'd happily eat a mushroom, though not the mould growing on my rotting window frames I suppose.
