no.
Simply, no it doesn't
You also don't cook it in the same way - it goes tough if you try that
I fry it quickly in olive oil with garlic/onions etc
Then remove form the pan and in that pan I make the sauce mix.
Of course, if you are using a jar of sauce you'll be ok doing it all at once.
Try adding extra tomatoes and onions
It's tasty enough but I'm not sure I could live on it =)

IYO ..better or worse? Xx
Hmmm, it just tastes different

It's not horrible, but it's a bit rubbery if you get it wrong
Personally I don't like it. To make it healthier I use extra lean mince and "fry" it in a little bit of stock rather than oil
It's the fat content that makes it's health, or lack of fat

Even extra leab mince has 9.6 grams of fat, where as Quorn is 0.4

Aye..stuff that then...normal mince it is!! I use the 1kcal spray or even a splash of water and i also drain the fat anyhow!

Put looooads of veg in anyhow so surley its healthy enough and eating with wholemeal wraps mmmmmmmmm xx
Oh i know it is much lower in fat, but I prefer normal mince and try to make it as healthy as I can
You can save yourself time and money by buying a multi pack of pencil erasers, cutting them into bite size pieces and then throwing them straight in the bin.
Just and opinion based on adventures in sweet and sour "chicken" land.

I rarely use Quorn although my daughter seems to prefer veggie sausages, now they ARE yuck! lol
I started using it about two years ago and now never buy proper mince. It doesn't taste of anything, it takes on the flavour of anything you add to it. It's a finer texture than meat mince and I've never know it go rubbery. Some people think its awful, and some people, like me, think its fine and can't notice the difference. It's worth trying if only for the health benefit.
Question Author
May try it for myself one time but having friend for dinner so i will make normal today ...thanks all - v helpfull as usual xx
Just to add, I don't like any other quorn products purely for the texture, but the mince is fine.
Vile stuff.....stick to meat!

its horrible stuff and its made from dead slugs
BIG SECRET GIVEAWAY !!!!!

I use it, or the cheaper TVP (texturised vegetable protein) to replace rusk in homemade sausages. It retains moisture and fat, and gives a good texture to the finished banger. They don't shrink or burst as much, either.

Quorn isn't bad in chili or spag sauce, as you're adding strong flavours, although if I know it's been used, I don't enjoy it.
The stuff should be banned, I understand from a very reliable source that Quorn is made from recycled elastic bands and condoms!
No ratter, that's the content of the famous chains' burgers, with the addition of elephants'toenails
I mix it 50 50 with the leanest mince I can find... but then I like the chunks and fillets too just need a little more seasoning than normal as it seems to blunt flavours somehow
Venator, so thats what I get stuck between my teeth when eating those things!!
