Using quorn mince for the 1st time

As a meat eater with a veggie husband, I think you really can tell a difference. Quorn mince tastes like sponges imo.

I'd much, much rather eat lentils.

Not many things that I cant eat but Ive had quorn mince twice and been violently ill both times so be careful in case your OH has same reaction. Apart from that it tasted quite nice :eek:

I can tell the difference - the taste and texture is much blander and softer. yeeeuch! as others do, I prefer to pad it out with veg or lentils.

I haven't got much to add that hasn't been said already. I'm a vegetarian and my OH is a meat lover, but he likes Quorn and is happy to eat it so that we don't have to cook two lots of dinners. When using the mince I just put it into the sauce, it doesn't really need frying like real mince - it can make it go a bit hard and crunchy. I served Quorn to my very fussy ex and he didn't even notice it wasn't meat. My OH says he can definitely tell the difference, but that it's not a bad thing, just different

I made a chilli last night using Quorn mince and I hated the texture. I couldn't finish it. I'm sticking to meat!
