If you're tired of eating soy then there's another vegan alternative quorn. It actually tastes better and is just a slow calorie and animal friendly as any of the other meat substitutes. Best of all it comes in a variety of cuts . Quorn enables you to have everything from a fancy dinner party to a backyard barbecue.
This meat alternative is nothing new. it was created early in the 1900's as a meat sub for both humans and animals.Its' real name is the scientific sounding microbial biomass and its' primary ingredient is yeast. It's a fungus, in some ways similar to mushroom, and has high amount of proteins. Scientists predicted it would be the food of the future in the 1960s, with them envisioning this in every household by the 1 980s. Today it;s sold under the name Quorn and it's actually not bad. There have been some reports and even tests that the stuff can bring on nausea and stomach problems however there have been very few reports of this. I've eaten it and it's been fine for me.
Eating Quorn is kind of like eating regular meat. It shares a similar chewiness and the chicken patties along with turkey, tasting like the real deal. You could easily fool people with it. Quorn also comes in meatballs (perfect with pasta and one of the few non meat products to come in this form) and ribs. The cutlets come either flavored or plain. I've had the plain, spiced up with Sylvia's lemon pepper spice and they turned out to be crispy and tasty.
If you're tired of soy or just tired of meat in general, then try Quorn. It's a tasty alternative that can be made a variety of ways. Try it with pasta or simply on a bun. You'll be amazed at it.
