omg YUM quorn scotch eggs

[Giraffescantdancethetango]

My neighbour reccomended them, popped to shops today and got a packet...tomorrow I think I shall be buying more packets!

They are delicious, anyone else tried them? If not then do!

are the eggs free range?

And please read up on Quorn before you eat it again.

The wikipedia artcle has most of the important facts,

wow I'll be trying them yummy

Are they proper full sized scotch eggs with a whole boiled egg in them, or are they those little "savoury egg" balls with chopped up egg in them?

I've made homemade ones with sosmix and those orangey breadcrumbs before, they were lovely but a bit fiddly to cook.

Might just be me being a bit dim but I couldn't see anything of interest in the wikipedia entry for Quorn - which bit in particular caused concern?

yup the little ones.

I was just about to ask the same thing alienbump. What's wrong with quorn?

It's massively over processed and has been owned by dubious companies.

I've tried them - they`are YUM indeed.

Oh right. Ah well. Still at least nothing had to be shot in the head so we could enjoy our scotch eggs!

Op, where did you get them from?

have had a skim tdwp is it this that you mean? -

Quorn's acceptance in the vegetarian market was hampered by the use of battery eggs in its production process, a practice opposed on ethical grounds by many vegetarians. For this reason, the Vegetarian Society initially did not approve these products. Working with the Vegetarian Society, Marlow began phasing out battery eggs in 2000,[18] and by 2004 all Quorn products sold in the UK were produced without battery eggs, earning the seal of approval of the UK branch of the Vegetarian Society.[19]

oh sorry posted before i saw that.

i agree - perhaps in the future i will worry about things like that, but for now im trying to focus on a life without meat. but thanks for the heads up.

got them from morrisons they have a really good range here.

Agree, scrumptious aren't they?

Buggeration, I don't think we have a morrissons near us. Will have a look in tesco instead. They have a lot to live up to now after you all saying they're yummy!!

It's interesting though, as far as I know it was developed on the understanding food shortages would be imminent, and this is a way to essentially grow food from nothing.

So why have they refused to license it out to developing countries?

I think Quorn is the first on a step to creating nutrionally good food from unusual sources, and more will follow.

i just had them with baked beans

yer try tesco.

quorn and stuffing sandwich slices are good too, with mayo in a sandwich

God that sounded wanky, and made no sense. But ask me in a months time and I can wax lyrical about this.

forgive me, I'm emotionally wraught at the moment, should probably stop posting without thinking first.
