Meat Substitutes

Hi-

I am interested in what kinds of meat substitutes people eat here in the UK, and where they buy them.  I am in London, and am used to eating Morningstar Farms products such as the "crumble" and chix patties and Boca sausages.  The only crumble/mince product I have seen here is Quorn, and I didn't like the texture as much.  I would love any ideas!

Thanks!

Mainly Quorn... that's the only 'meat substitute' i've ever seen here.

we eat quorn and tescos own brand but stay clear off Linda Mcartney products they taste 

i've heard those Linda McCartney ones have a ridiculous amount of fat in them as well... 

I dont really know this for a fact, though.. im a carnivore.

I've seen Sosamix in Holland & Barrett's.  And if you have a Harvey Nick's in your area, they sell Mori-Nu tofu. 

Try some ethnic food shops, many carry meat substitutes.

i like the quorn mince.  the patties and sausages are minging.

My husband, son, and I are all vegetarian and absolutely love the veggie stuff in the UK! As far as Linda McCartney the 'pies' are awesome - sort of like a pot pie, very good. The Tesco brand of pies are good too. But 'Quorn' really is the best brand. The chk fillets are great - I make them in the microwave with a bit of veggie gravy on them as they cook - very good! They also do chk nuggets, southern style chk patties (fav!), and chk pieces which are great for stir-fry or chk burritos (just add the taco seasoning to 'em!)... I'd definitely advise you to try the Quorn stuff - the burgers are great but small so I fry them up and melt some cheese on them and serve them with dinner, not on a bun. Hubby and son love them. There really are so many choices for vegetarians and Morrisons usually has a great variety. Tesco's is good too. We do like the Morrisons brand sausages as well. Lots of yummy choices in England and at a good price too. Besides the frozen section, look in the refridge section - by the produce, or dairy -- there is beautiful Quorn sandwich slices, especially the turkey w/stuffing one, love it!

I agree with Quorn. We used to use it in Spaghetto bolognase. It's not bad!

Bad michelle. Bad, bad. Go home and stand in the corner.
