Quorn Vegetarian Products

It's been a really long time since I posted, getting back into the blogging. :)

I recently spent three weeks in Europe; a few days in Ireland, few in Paris, and then two weeks in London/Reading, UK. My vegetarian experience was quite good at some times, and "interesting" at others. I thought Ireland would be the toughest, but to my happy surprise there was a wide variety of vegetarian or seafood offerings (I eat fish/seafood occassionally). Our first night there, we stayed at a B&B near Temple Bar in Dublin. In the morning, we came down for breakfast, and were both able to order a full Irish vegetarian breakfast. Presented to us on hot plates were two eggs, vegetarian sausages, sauteed mushrooms and tomatoes, with some toasted brown bread. The vegetarian sausages were the best I've ever had for a vegetarian offering. Asking about these, I found they were a Quorn product.

When I got back to the States, I researched Quorn. Unfortunately there is not a wide variety of Quorn products in the States yet. Currently they have the following offerings:

- Chik'n Nuggets
- Chik'n Patties
- Garlic & Herb Chik'n Cutlets
- Naked Chik'n Cutlets
- Chik'n Tenders
- Beef-Style Grounds
- Beef-Style Meatballs
- Turk'y Roast
- Gruyere Chik'n Cutlet
- Cranberry & Goat Cheese Chik'n Cutlet
- Southwestern Chik'n Wing
- Turk’y Burger

I have tried the Chik'n Tenders and Gruyere Chik'n Cutlet products. The Tenders were very good, better than any other on the market. The Gruyere Chik'n Cutlet was excellent - perfectly crisp crust, melting Gruyere cheese and very good chicken taste/texture. Also above any other product line I've found on the market so far.

I would *highly* recommend Quorn products. If you try them and like them, please submit your feedback at the Quorn US site and ask them to bring more Quorn products to the US! :) As an FYI if you are traveling to Europe, the Quorn product list is extensive. Wish I lived in Europe! :)
