It's not made from mushrooms, it's made from mould. It's made by a division of ICI Chemicals, who make Dulux paint.

and ben and jerry's ice cream is made by a division of the same company that make domestos. anyone else want to pointlessly point out that one division of a company makes something very different to a different division of the same company?

I can't be bothered to trawl through this thread to look for actual offers on Quorn because it appears to have been hijacked by A-:mad: es.

really irritating. :rolleyes:

hi thanks for tip foxystoat off to iceland to get some, plus Quorn a terrific food plus its made from mushrooms how organic can u get? I luv it as it ma kes great chilli. any info like price deals great news for us veggies

It's made from a organism called "mycoprotein" - fungus found in the soil. Mycoprotein is "the processed cellular mass that is obtained from the filamentous fungus Fusarium venenatum strain PTA-2684," (patent application).

In other words - an organism found in the soil. "The tiny organism was found in the soil in the village of Marlow, England"

My garden soil contains quite a lot of our three cats' faeces. These are also natural and very organic. How "more organic can U get"? Nice.

I wish you would go and bury yourself in your garden, James_N.

Up to you, but then you will be missing out on all those special offers on mould. Sorry, mycoprotein. :rotfl:

I recommend that everyone should email [Removed by Forum Team] and tell them how offensive they find that post. Totally unnecessary!

Do you know what is totally unnecessary? I hardly feel I need to say it, but almost 6 pages of drivel and trolling, made up of comments from, and to, you and your buddy, James_N.
I would say that, in your dutiful, anti-Quorn honor, you have successfully managed to change the minds of exactly zero users here. So well done for that, keep fighting your futile corner until Quorn products are completely banished from the face of the earth, and those people who have chosen to eat those products, for whatever reason, are sufficiently ridiculed.
Also, I'm sure everyone here is glad to be told what they find offensive. No doubt [Removed by Forum Team] will be inundated with e-mails from the people who have contributed to this thread.

Those offers again, just so that my post isn't a complete waste of energy:

Iceland: £1 for 300grams frozen Chicken-style peices
£1 for 300grams frozen Quorn-mince

Tesco: 99p for a pack of Frozen Quorn Chicken Style Dippers
£1.18 for the fresh peppered steak (2 pack) though your lucky if you can find these anywhere, they are gone from all the shelves in London in my experience!

Sainsburys: 79p for 6 frozen Quorn Bangers
£1.99? for frozen pack Quorn-meatballs

Waitrose: 2 for £3 on the 300gram packs of frozen Chicken Style peices

In reply to an earlier post it seems the Iceland Quorn offers run till 21/3 - according to madaboutbargains. I don't know where they get that info from, there is no mention of any end date of the offer in the store.

Actually in all fairness James_N is not my buddy, I just like to stick up for the underdog when I see somebody being ganged up on. We do eat Quorn from time time, but in my ignorance I always assumed that it was made from soya protein. I was vegetarian for about a year when I was younger, but I certainly didn't go around trying to ram my views down the throats of all and sundry.
