Whats quorn chicken like?


I randomly bought some the other day, haven't tried it yet but does it have the taste an texture of real meat?

[dbgtz]

no it does not

It's not 100% the same but quorn products in general are hugely improved over what you used to get as vegetarian options BACK IN MY DAY, we have them loads because my mum is vegetarian and while having actual meat once in a while is nice still I have no complaints

the quorn spaghetti bolognese one is gorgeous, but can't say i've tried the chicken.

[Sharon]

mm let me know how it is, i would love to try going vegetarian tbh

The consistency is more like a bratwurst but quorn chicken is quite delicious

I haven't personally tried anything with quorn in the title, but I very rarely eat meat anyway, nor is it hugely appealing to me, so I guess I haven't really come across the choice of a substitute.

it's alright but definitely not as good at the actual thing

i used to buy qourn mince to make spaghetti bolognese with but it was pretty gross

Nope, but it has an okay texture. Like real chicken it will be a bit bland on its own so try to cook it with some sort of sauce or rub in some herbs and spices to give it some flavour.

It all depends on what you like so you should try it and find out :) Personally I'm not keen and do not see the point in Quorn. If I have to eat vegetarian food I just cook lots of vegetables. The meat-like texture seems a bit strange and unnecessary.

I just tried one piece with some spices.


It was fine, the texture was weird and taste was similar but the actual biting into it was not the same, It was much thinner then normal chicken breast and was not as soft in the middle as proper chicken.

I probably won't buy it again, I would much rather eat the real thing, but I understand why vegetarians would use it.

I've had it once or twice before, 3 or so years ago. When it's like in sauce or shredded like bolognese it's OK but in chunks in a stir fry that isn't that wet / got much veggies in too, it's actually horrible D:

my mum buys quorn mince and my brother doesn't even notice lol

[IzzyUhh]

My mum used to buy the quorn chicken nuggets for me and I didn't really tell a difference until she told me oops
She used to buy the sausages which looked like cardboard

My parents like to use Quorn occasionally and I actually like it. It doesn't taste much like chicken in my opinion but it's a good alternative and is full of protein. The texture is a bit like rubber but I like it. Real chicken is good though.

as someone who eats both meat and quorn (my mam is a vegetarian so i grew up with it), i think it is ok. it is a quick and easy solution to meat a lot of the time. i use the chicken pieces for curry/pasta/salads. when seasoned it is enjoyable.

as for the quorn sausages/burgers etc... i will stick to real meat. i only use the chicken pieces.
