Quorn availability in Ireland

snowey07

Hi all - I m desparatly trying to source Quorn food that isnt just the usual sausages and burgers

So I emailed Quorn a list of what out of their 100 products online that I wanted and asked where could I get them as Tescos get something in and then its gone. Fair play to Quorn they mailed back next day to say that most of the range is not available in Ireland

how ever they did give me a complete list of what is available and where which ive c & p below. Hope it helps some one out

Wow thats quite a list...makes me sad that i dont eat quorn etc:(

Clare Bear

Thanks for that snowey! I wish more of their range was available here

trustno1

Thanks for that - even though I am not a vegetarian (some of my family members are) - I eat a lot of Quorn as a) its sooo handy (mince and chicken pieces especially) and b) its gorgeous!.. they had a lovely range of Quorn products up the north in Sainsburys, pity they don't do it down here....

Superquinn Blackrock have gone brutal on their quorn selection recently. They tend to only have the mince and burgers, no pieces or garlic and herb fillets anymore.

Actually, try Centra's - they tend to have the Garlic & Herb fillets. They usually run out of the plain, crispy fillets, when I have a need for them and am left to look at the Garlic & Herbs in the fridge..with disappointment. Bas.Tar.dos.

Hi everyone I saw a documentary about quorn one day on the telly and have'nt touched it since. It was a long while back, cant remember most of the details but either way that was the end for me. check out the wikipedia link here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quorn

Thoushaltnot

Yaah, we can all make Quorn now!

"Mycoprotein patent

In European Union all patents expire after a maximum of 25 years. The initial retail product was produced in 1985, so mycoprotein patent will expire in 2010 in all EU countries. Anyone might produce mycoprotein products, but using other brands, because Marlow Foods will mantain 'Quorn' brand.

Hello, newbie dermothickey - do you have any more details on that documentary? I'd love to see it.

Its gone by me now. But basically the story goes a bunch of scientists and government economic heads in the early 60's knew that the way the world bank was operating their was gonna be famine. They initially thought it would be worldwide so they were looking for ways to produce a super food. Apparently they produced a synthetic mould which formed on horse manure, Though the wiki article says something about cereal. But if you look at it logically, There was a chemical company and a pharmaceutical company involved in it. Either way its man made, it isnt a mould which forms naturally. I gave up on quorn straight away, never looked back and truthfully cant understand why A lot of veggies eat it. As it tastes like meat but thats my opinion. One documentary, interviews with the culprits spilling the beans turned me away from it. I remember there was a packet of the chicken style pieces in the freezer for months after it (left to the new tenants)haha felt like it was diseasing my freezer.

Who's on for a new quorn? what will we call it? company is open

Thoushaltnot

Ah, I never heard that it was discovered growing on horse manure! I'm surprised that it's closer to a mould than a fungus but I strongly suspect that they don't scrape it off the dung and chuck it at the glucose. Was that what grossed you out about it?

Anyhoo, I volunteers for tasting/testing duties (cue, "will she spit or will she swallow" style innuendo) :pac: :pac: :pac: :pac: :pac: :pac: :pac:

At the time I was working with a big development agency and what messed my head up was the sinister playings and the forces driving behind it. They had a chance to create a fairer market for all but instead were looking for a synthetic food that could sort it out while they got their hands on the gold diamonds etc...maybe im being a bit unfair I mean these guys have our best interests at heart right? right? right?

Im on for the spit or swallow technique

@dermothickey
Could it have been "The Rise & Rise of Food Science"? On BBC4? Maybe shown late 2008?

Censorsh!t

Whenever I go to Tesco's they always have different quorn products from the time before. And now i can never find that yummy quorn chicken korma thingy

dermothickey

thou shalt not...it was around 2000 I watched it Hence the sketchy info

My 3 faves are:
chicken style pieces (delicious when used with curry)
mince (delicious when used with chili)
chicken style burgers (delicious when used with mayo and lettuce)
