Thanks Dad
I noticed the Quorn says 'Vegan'.
Not Burger is vegetable protein, these are mycoprotein (fungii).
Sorry, I meant taste wise?
Don't be
Pretty good IMO. Get them for missus who's vege and she likes them too.
Kinda like a chicken nugget texture with the crumb crispiness on a pan cook. Mild spicyness with some good flavour.Much prefer the Vegie Delights brand.
Quorn can also cause some people allergic reactions.
These are really good
even my kids who are picky eaters really like them. Probably cause they dont taste like veggie burgers
They kind of taste like chicken burgers to meYep, it's too. Quorn is the only vegan mince that tastes and feels close to meat in a bolognese, and their chicken strips are favourites with my kids.
thanks for the tip! will have to look for this. I tried that brand "The Alternative meat co." mince and it was fn awful
i got it cause of this review article that said her bf couldnt tell the difference between that mince and real stuff when she made her spaghetti. Definitely was a BS article or her and her bf have no bloody taste buds as that stuff was so bad we had to throw it out after 2 days and the dog wouldnt even eat it. I tried my best to finish it over 2 days cause im tight and hate to waste food lol no one in the family would help me out.@SpendLess: Agreed. That mince is awful and turns to mush. Quorn wins here but generally I prefer vegie delights followed by Fry's. Haven't tried alternative meat sausage which are supposedly very good.
@lukethefish: im new to these alternative meats so its great to get some feed back
thanks will try those too
@SpendLess: I like the good ole nutmeat. It can make an excellent bolognese and the nutty flavour is better than meat imo. It just needs a good quality pasta sauce.
Quorn is the only vegan mince that tastes and feels close to meat
Have you tried Linda McCartneys?
Last time I checked, Quorn mince isn't vegan as it contains egg white.
TVP is an excellent and cheap vegan mince alternative.
I just had:
Vegan Gourmet Burger - let's just say their and my version of gourmet are different. (Prolly the most ville thing I've tasted in a long time, spat out, 2 bites enough).
Hot and spicy burgers - OK, but have a bit of a musty flavor about them.
Crumbed fish free fillets, lemon pepper - with tartare, a slice of biocheese and lettuce on soft white rolls these made a good filèt.
Nuggets - not the best, a bit dry, but doused in sauce I guess as good as any.
Would be nice if Quorn just finally ditched the animal secretions in their shrinking vegetarian range and got on board with the times.
Both are horrible if you’ve been a life-long vegetarian.
They have what I presume is a “meaty” texture that is unfamiliar and feels disgusting as you chew it.
However, meat-eaters seem to like them. So I guess they’re a good option if you’re avoiding meat but are used to eating it. If you’re a long-time vegetarian, they’re weird and unpleasant.
All frozen Quorn is half price in fact…
That means to people that think its starting at a BS RRP :)
I agree. It is much cheaper where I am from which is the UK. But it is just the price here, which is similar to other alternative meat products.
Who feeds these to their dog?
I think I know the answer to this joke, is it people who don't like their dog?
It has onion and garlic in it, so that may be the serious answer.
A better question is whether cats, who are pure carnivores, can survive on protein of processed plant/fungal origin.
They can, but probably not for very long. Vegan cat food is a contradiction in itself. It claims to be cruelty free, yet feeding cats a plant based diet is cruel.
serious question,
are these good for a low carb diet?
family member is dieting at the moment, doing really well
(theyre not even vegetarians)
theyve been avoiding the usual, bread, rice, pasta, potatos etc etcare these good for a low carb diet?
Nutrition Facts label and Ingredients list on all packaged produce answers so many questions.
And it’s in the linked product too, perhaps check there.
I would think unprocessed meat (protein) would win over most plant-based meat substitutes in a low carb diet, don't know about these.
The problem with instincts is that they’re likely wrong - Wikipedia: Mycoprotein is able to provide greater satiety than traditional protein sources such as chicken, while also being rich in protein and low in caloric content.
Sorry, I was trying to make a distinction between Quorn (mycoprotein, which I know little about) and vegetable-based substitutes (like Not a Burger). Thanks for the mycoprotein info.
For Keto diet its too high in carbs at 17.6g. If its just low carb then depends on the individuals target macros/diet and best to check with them first - it could swing either way.
IMO Spinach and cheese by far the best option. I'm a vegetarian but even my wife who is not loves them. Other versions are so so.
When I think what Quorn looks like growing in the vats, kombucha scoby comes to mind.

nah bro, its like a parking ticket. Once you get it once you are immune
How do you feel about sodium chloride (table salt), or 9H-purin-6-amine (a common component of all organic food, look it up :p)?
Calcium chloride is a salt derived from limestone, it's used to make things like tofu. Don't get scared because the thing doesn't have a common name.
actually if you look up table salt you will realize most of it is not actually salt at all :)
I recommend sea salt or himalayan pink salt.
Just check the ingredients on the back of the table salt bottle or google it if you dont believe me :)
They're just salts. Google things before getting worried
They are salts that are used in many foods. They are not dangerous in trace amounts (which is what foods contain). You wouldn't want to eat a handful of it. Same as the scary sounding sodium chloride (NaCl), or as we know it, table salt.
Health Hazards Associated with Calcium Chloride
Calcium chloride poses some serious health and safety hazards. If ingested, calcium chloride can lead to burns in the mouth and throat, excess thirst, vomiting, stomach pain, low blood pressure, and other possible severe health effects.May 14, 2015Why is calcium chloride used in food?
Calcium chloride is used as a food additive as well as in food processing operations. … It is used in salt processing to add a salty taste to pickles and other foods without increasing sodium content. Spraying fruit and vegetables with calcium chloride increases firmness and shelf life.Health Hazards Associated with Calcium Chloride
yup, don't ingest a cup of salt all at once.
Why is calcium chloride used in food?
people like salt, especially with fat.
@AussieMark: Those side-effects apply to all salt.
Don’t eat a fistful of salt or it will burn your mouth, make you thirsty, and induce vomiting.
Ammonium Carbonate is a non-toxic white crystalline salt with the molecular formula (NH4)2CO3. It is also known as hartshorn or baker's ammonia.
Ammonium carbonate lends a distinctive crispness and lightness to the baked good, which why it is still listed in certain recipes, despite the overwhelming use of baking powder and baking soda in modern baked goods. Ammonium carbonate is used for leavening in cookies, flat biscuits, or crackers.
Thank you
just bought some, friday night deliciousness here I come
Nice. Will give them a go.
How do they compare with the Not Burger brand?
