Faux Meat

Arvon · 03-04-2002, 01:50 PM

I read an article that there is a fake meat being sold in Europe. This product is made out of fungus. As far as the nutrition it's about the same on the plus and negitive side. The US FDA has approved the sale of this product here in the US.
I'm willing to bet in 5 years one of those pointy headed "scientist" will determine that if you eat his product all your children will be born naked.

LOL, LOL, ROFL!!!!!

OMG, I have tears of laughter streaming down my face! It's called Quorn, it's perfectly OK - I'm a veggie and I've been eating it for years! It's nice, absorbs the flavour of whatever sauce you cook it in. Heck, mushrooms are fungus you know, it's just a type of mushroom. The only problem is it's not OK for vegans because it's fed with egg protein.

I've never heard of this before, but it actually sounds GREAT to me!

During the course of my diet (I've lost 70+ lbs so far with only about 20lbs to go), I've learned to love soy burgers! They remind me of the burgers from my school days. Other bean for meat substitutes fall short because, while they aren't bad overall, they taste like beans not burgers.

This new product has me excited!

Ronn, it is really low fat - virtually none at all, if any. And with a less distinctive taste than soya, I find that tastes quite strong. If quorn tastes of anything, it is a bit similar to a very mild mushroom flavour. It might not be called quorn in the US, that's a brand name, because it's patented.

And sounds like a great diet! Good on ya!

Sorry to take you up on this Epona

But this fake meat tastes exactly like what it is...a fungus substitute [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Having grown up in a vegetarian household I was put off being a vegan or vegetarian at a young age and now cannot go a meal without some kind of meat. It just aint the same [img]graemlins/nono.gif[/img]

Anyone have any data/statistics on food allergies associated with mycoprotein? I had a chemistry professor who suffered from multiple food allergies and had to have a very strict diet. Just wondering....

People come on!!

What is this world coming to? People eating fungus and soy instead of meat?? You got to eat meat, it's the natural thing to do. And it's so darn good!

Please...support my cause here.

Beef...it's what's for dinner
