Quorn has been around for over 30 years, so they're kinda stuck with the name. The cutlets with a good bbq sauce and grilled properly are a very convincing chicken substitute. Used to eat this shit on a daily basis back in my non-carnivorous days.

5 for the mountains of Quorn I've shit out over the past decade.

It does seem like a villainous space corporation commercial, no doubt about that. Maybe we'll find out it's really people, and they'll be like "yeah, but nobody you know" and we'll be like "oh, carry on, then."

As I found out, I'm one of the allergic ones, and there was no way of knowing i was because fuck if I'm ever going to eat algae and fungus protein outside of the context of "Oh, maybe I'll be vegan this week."

Such a great story. Any flavors that weren't artificial were seen as a revolting concept.

Somewhere around 3-5% of Quorn consumers have severe adverse reactions it seems.

I've never touched it because it isn't vegan (egg whites are used a a binder in the Quorn products I've seen). But I agree with the Center for Science in the Public Interest that all packages should require large print warning text.

Some of the adverse reactions have involved anaphylactic shock. I've only experienced this once, attending my senior prom date as she broke out in hives and nearly suffocated after a meal with shellfish, before I brought her to the ER. I can only imagine the consequences of bringing Quorn to rural areas without immediate medical care.
