Ha ha Knock, yes I guess it must be if the master of meat detection says so. Although my little beast eats fucking anything so I wouldn't trust him tbh. I hate that fucking cat. I just know he will live forever. Anyway sorry...
Yes I have given up on finding a bacon substitute. Just not going to happen I know. I had to try it though. I don't think I want a meat substitute anymore as it happens, I'll explain when I mention the kievs I had.
I have tried the normal Quorn burgers and they are not bad really, but not the chef selection ones. My local supermarket doesn't carry a great deal of vegetarian things so I struggle to find a lot of choice but we sometimes get a home delivery so will try and add some next time we do. Thanks for the heads up.
On the meat substitute thing. I really like the Quorn sausages. Not because they are like real sausages but because they have a unique flavour and texture which I have grown fond of in their own right.
I tried a fake chicken kiev a while back and here's the thing. The texture was so much like processed shaped chicken I couldn't enjoy the food and had to check the box by fishing it out of the bin because I believed it was (albeit) mechanically processed chicken. Strange.
I also tried some Linda McCartney scampi things and they weren't bad. Nothing like scampi or fish at all. Definitely not the flavour of scampi but pleasant enough in their own right.
