Vegetarian at nursery

[OrangeSprout]

Hi!

just reviewing the nursery’s menu…my kids aren’t on any diet restriction and the entire menu is vegetarian (quorn 8 times in the month and vegetables for the rest of it)…not really happy with this to be honest….it costs £1400 per month just for the baby and £900 for the three year old. I’d just expect some actual meat?

am I being unreasonable?

Is it the mycoprotein itself that's garbage or is it the other ingredients in Quorn that's the problem?

It's a soil mould, only distantly related to mushrooms and truffles, it's only made into a 'food' through extensive processing. Many people have suffered gastrointestinal symptoms from ingesting it. It's not a necessary additive for vegetarian meals, there are many natural ingredients that could be used instead.
