Anyone not feeding their baby meat?

i cant really remember what quorn tasted like cos i was only veggie for a short while before i went vegan, my dad eats it though and says its got much better over the last few years.

i dont understand why people use quorn and stuff? why would you want to eat something that looks and tastes like meat?

Why not though? If something tastes nice, it tastes nice, it really doesn't bother me whether it's copying the taste of meat. If somebody brought out a human meat substitute, I'd be up for trying it . In fact years ago there was a hoax online about hufu - human flavoured tofu. I was very disappointed to find it wasn't actually real! I know opinions vary wildly on this but I'm the kind of person who cares about what stuff actually IS rather than what it's copying. If the whole world suddenly went veggie and meat substitutes didn't exist, if somebody discovered how to make Quorn it would just be something tasty and nobody would have a problem with it. You can think about it the other way round too - maybe meat just happens to taste like Quorn processed in a particluar way

thats vile!

Quorn is not available in North America!

If you shop around for buns without eggs/honey, it is also vegan

Thanks, Everyone. I love Quorn although I have to agree that the sausages are minging (I tend to buy the Redwoods ones instead, although Linda Mac and Cauldron Foods ones are ok too).

Weird about the pregnancy cravings, Thumper, isn't it. Mine was Roast Beef Monster Much - which are veggie, but I've never liked them before or since. I do have to confess there was one day when I was about 5-6 months pregnant when I really really craved a steak. It was literally one day though and it went away. It was also around the time that they do the iron levels blood test and mine came back low so I wonder if that's what it was. I upped my intake of iron and I was fine. I was so panicking that I was going to spend the remaining three months craving meat!

Thumper, how amazing you used to be a chef in a veggie restaurant!

 

[Thumper]

Hufu? Amazing!
Maybe quorn has improved since I last had it as it was ages ago. Still give it a miss though
My best dish is falafel yum! Billy already approves mmmm hummus... Lunchtime, wonder what I'm off to cook!

 

[Thumper]

Oh, and I agree your body tells you what you need, we just have to learn to listen to it. I often can crave broccoli which is weird but I obviously need it at that time.
I could have done without my wierd non-ham sandwich craving though!

Falafals were actually the best food I ever served to help teach him to eat (BLW). I believe he is only 6 months cry in this picture! Falafal, couscous, and cucumber.

That's awesome aliss! I'm so hungry now but trying to get Billy to sleep. I want falafel!!!

Gorgeous pic, Aliss! Xavier loves falafel too (although not the Oganix falafel and bean thing!). Think he might have to make do with a cheese sandwich this evening though.
