Yes, a tiny organism is fermented in large "bin" like containers so it is easily mass produced. Each to their own I suppose

I's like to see the conditions some animlas are kept it, where all our meat comes from.

Hehe, I will send you some.

Can you cook it the same as meat?

the quorn website has some great recipe ideas on, if you want to stretch it out further you could use some red lentils, the combination of the 2 make a good vege cottage pie. you could make a chilli, with some chopped tomatoes, kidney beans, vegetable stock,onions, quorn mince and chilli powder.

Just like beer!

I usually use 300g of quorn mince to make 1 big bolognese. I then take half out and make the other half into chilli by adding beans and chilli powder.

I reckon if you're using 700g of quorn and adding lentils etc. you should get about 10-12 meals. You could use some in a shepherds pie (4 portions), then make a large bolognese sauce thing which would do a lasagne (4 portions), spag bol (2 portions) and chilli (2 portions)

It has lots of things added remember. I throw a tin of tomatoes at least in the 300g bag to make the sauce, sometimes 1 1/2 tins, then after I've taken half out I add a small tin of baked beans to make the chilli (dh won't eat red kidney beans).

To the shepherds pie portion I would add chopped carrots and any other veg that isn't moving away fast enough. Then there's the red lentils (unnoticed by dh, not that he would have minded, I was just testing), and a handful of oats too if you feel adventurous.....

Also, depending on appetite you may get more. I made just chilli last week for a friend and I, so only used half a 300g bag. It made enough for both of us to have a chilli baked potato, my friend took a portion home for her other half, and I have a portion in the freezer.

Two questions please.
One. I bought quorn mince, cooked it and stuck it in the freezer. I defrosted it and started to make spag bol with it. There is far too much --can I freeze it again ?
Two, can I shove creme fraiche through it to make the OH eat it ?

I should think it would be fine refreezed (although strictly speaking you prob shouldnt)
CF will be fine.
