New Quorn products

smellslikeshoes · 03-03-2010 2:07am

The local shops here in Wexford don't seem to have the quorn currys anymore which is very irritating.

The Quorn chicken style roast is down to €3 at the moment in Dunnes. Usually around €4.50.

Thanks for the heads up i will grap a couple on my way home.
It's just me or the portion of quorn products got smaller (and the price got bigger) ?

From the Quorn.co.uk e-newsletter, so easily not applicable to here for some time, if ever;

"As we impatiently shift from foot to foot, we’ve given up trying to look cool, calm and collected about the fabulous new summer range of Quorn products due to hit the shelves in April. Quorn Sweet Chilli Stir Fry Strips, Seasoned Steak Strips, Roast Style Sliced Fillets and Quorn Mini Balls will be in a Sainsbury’s near you in just a few weeks time so keep an eye out (with wider distribution from May)".

There was also a yummy recipe for Quorn sausage & leek bake...

Would love to try some new quorn products so hope Tesco stocks them soon!

Linguo · 02-04-2010 5:20pm

Hey all,

Just to let you know I was in the Tesco on Parnell St today and I found a pack of Hot and Spicy chicken quorn pieces, they're coated and look yum, cant wait to try them!

Linden · 03-04-2010 2:04pm

Yeah I got them a while ago if I'm thinking of the same things, they were fairly nice. The best new one I've had was the sothern style burger, they are lovely! Got them in Dunnes Cornelcout.

Linguo · 12-04-2010 9:12pm

I love the southern style burgers!Also loving the mushroom and quorn pies, could eat them every day:D

Ms. Koi · 13-04-2010 12:46pm

Heya miss lockhart...
I live in Maynooth and find that the food in the tesco store is quite good. I'm a very fussy vegetarian so a lot of it doesn't do it for me, but I'm planning on being more adventurous!
There's a little health food shop down the back lanes behind caulfields pub...loads of food in there!

I think the pies are such a let down! There is barely any filling and the pastry is such a let down! I was never happy with them!!

Nature Boy · 13-04-2010 1:14pm

Not sure if they've been mentioned yet, but has anyone tried the 'Big bites'? Bite sized breaded Quorn with a spicy sauce in the middle, they're tasty. found them in Jervis tesco once. http://www.quorn.co.uk/products/Big_Bites_Hot__Spicy.aspx

I love the scotch eggs too http://www.quorn.co.uk/products/Quorn_Mini_Savoury_Eggs.aspx

Kievs are good too, but i think the dunnes ones are better http://www.quorn.co.uk/products/Mini_Kievs.aspx

I loved the quorn sausage rolls when they appeared in tesco in Ennis. Gorgeous..but I think they onle got them in once. Are they still available in other shops? Preferably near here!

Just ask them to get them in again. Worth a try at least

wait... fish-less fish fingers? so what do they even taste fishy??

I usually stick to the chicken type things and just flavor them myself... I occassionally have the hamburgers if I'm at a bbq or something, but as a general rule I've found quorn to be pretty bland. Which I don't mind cause I generally have some sauce/seasoning on my food...

Just curious to what their fish things even taste like... cause fish is pretty distinctive for the most part....

Anyone ever have the birdseye veggie fingers?? they are just plain hateful and vile... how can you make veggies and breadcrumbs taste so bad???

Wurly · 16-03-2011 3:14am

Dunnes in Sandyford also stock the quorn ham, just so you know. I pick up about 10 packets at a time.:o They're 1.99 each per pack which is pretty reasonable and the slices are great for sandwiches and salads. Winner.:)

veggie fake fish fishfingers taste the same as real ones, if not better. I loved them, had em years ago, cat couldnt tell the difference anyway :P
These weren't quorn brand, would love to try them.

monicafussy · 17-03-2011 2:52pm

It was Tesco in Kilbarrack shopping center

Tar.Aldarion · 18-03-2011 6:41pm

Thanks very much, on the look out myself, not seen them in finglas or in phibsboro or parnell so far!

+1
No news about it in the official website either

EDIT: Plenty of them in Tesco Stoneybatter

sunshine rose · 22-03-2011 6:12pm

Tesco Sligo have both the fish-less fingers and the tuna cake things in stock! Couldn't believe it when I saw them, we never get anything good! (Although they don't seem to stock any of the Cauldron tofu or falafels anymore, what the hell Tesco?) Back in my pre-veggie days I was way more of a fish eater than a meat eater so looking forward to trying them out:D

maameeo · 23-03-2011 5:06pm

got the fishless fingers and fishless tuna cake thing in tesco in artane, havnt tried them yet. im actually afraid to try the tuna thing. i never liked fish, dont think i ever tried tuna, looks manky

monicafussy · 24-03-2011 6:22pm

Finally tried the fishless fingers, Altho it has been over 20 years since I have had fish, There was a slight Fish odour off these and bcos of this I found it hard to eat them , its like the Quorn southern burgers they were just too authentic tasting for me. So I will not be trying the Tuna style bakes.

Tesco Phibsboro was quorn heaven today, never seen so much quorn stuff anywhere before, got the new fish fingees, tuna cakes and steak pieces to try, the steak pieces were much like the chicken except a bit smokey but yum!

Tar.Aldarion · 25-03-2011 2:36am

I am going to have one of the fishfingers now, yesss

Tar.Aldarion · 25-03-2011 3:11am

Well they were delicious

--LOS-- · 25-03-2011 3:16am

maameeo · 25-03-2011 12:07pm

Wow, Tesco Sligo of all places! I'm going home for a few days in a couple of weeks so I texted Dad to pick some up

no tictacs for you

I just bought another packet, the next day. And more steak pieces

Linguo · 27-03-2011 1:16pm

We got the fish fingers too but haven't been brave enough to try them yet, couldn't brave buying the tuna patties yet! Had the steak strips for the first time, they're yum

schemingbohemia · 30-03-2011 3:02pm

anyone seen the fishless fingers further southside in tescos? they haven't had them in ballybrack, just dreaming of a home-made fillet-o-fish!

I haven't tried the tuna/sweetcorn things... I dunno don't look all too appetising.. However, I have had the fish fingers and I thought they were good... I was kinda wary of them maybe tasting too fishy... but they were fine...

Quite bland like most quorn stuff... but they might be good with some sauce or something...

I've actually found having a brown bread fish finger sandwich really good...

I'd definitely recommend anyone to at least try them like...

--LOS-- · 31-03-2011 11:14pm

Iceland in town seem to stock a few quorn products including 'southern strips' which I haven't seen before

Crumble Froo · 01-04-2011 3:06pm

Wow, never had any quorn products before, but home staying with the family at the moment and they thoughtfully got in a heap of it for me - and actually have used it while cooking food for everyone...

I loved it, but even better, so did the family. My mam and sister, well that doesn't shock me too much, but while I can't picture my dad or bro ever giving up their meat meat, the quorn mince has now officially replaced the family favourite meal of mammy's spaghetti bolognese, and my sister is using the chicken, sausage and fish in her lunch and often dinner cooking too. I'm impressed.

welcome to quorn heaven :eek:

great now I want spaghetti bolognese this instant, damn subliminal advertising

Crumble Froo · 01-04-2011 3:37pm

Ha, yeah, I'm gonna miss it when I go back home. At least I'll know it's there for the occasional treat, but I'm stoked my dad's enjoyed it so much, it'll work out as a much, much healthier option for him, which is a very good thing

Come for veggie foods next Thursday? I can bring you some of mam's spaghetti bolognese in a wee take-away container if you like

--LOS-- · 01-04-2011 4:51pm

hmm I might try get my own family on it, they've never had it and are always wondering what the hell I eat :P

If food is a guise for drink yes yes, needless bribes froo :pac: You can bring some for Tar and convince him that pasta is awesome!

Crumble Froo · 01-04-2011 5:09pm

Usually use rice instead of spaghetti since deciding it tasted nicer with the sauce, but feck it, I'll bring in some for everyone and I'm sure *someone* somewhere will have a portable microwave... or something.

And sweet... see ya on Thursday

Looking Glass · 14-04-2011 12:10pm

I'm definitely going to look into those fish fingers. Was never really a fan of them when I was younger, but any port in a storm and all that!

And I'm not quite sure if this is the place to ask this - since this seems to be a general Quorn thread, apologies if I messed up - but it seems like the rashers have been pulled from the Cork town branch of Tesco's. Has anyone else seen them recently?

fillefatale · 17-04-2011 11:41am

Tried the fish fingers last night. They're a bit salty, but tasted somewhat like I remember fish fingers to be like. I'd definitely buy them again!

molly09 · 13-06-2011 1:00am

just wondering are linda McC sunndried tomato sausages still availabe, have not seen them in years

sweet-rasmus · 13-06-2011 1:03am

I think they may have gone when Heinz bought the brand and all of the recipes were changed a bit. I certainly haven't seen them in ages either.

TheRealSquishy · 14-06-2011 10:24pm

I tried the tuna and sweetcorn pies last week and they were yum! I peeled off the breadcrumbs before cooking and then mushed it up and picked out all the sweetcorn, put in loads of mayo and had it in a sandwhich!

HEAVEN!!!! I new I missed tuna loads but couldn't remember what it actually tasted like and I actually could have cried! So good!

Tried the steak strips last week aswel but was fairly disappointed that you cant fry them 'cause I was really looking forward to a stirfry. But yeah it does taste nearly the same as the chicken but bigger and slightly tougher. Yummy!
