Do we have any vegetarians here?

[Snoopy]

I ask because the THW has been veggy for a year now. Problem is she doesn't like beans, pulses and such so making sure she gets the right balance of proteins etc is hard going.

Meanwhile she has discovered Quorn. Vile stuff (I know the SiL of the man who made a fortune out of it).

Now maybe it's me but if you don't like to eat meat why would you want to eat something that pretends to be meat?

Quorn Burgers ... shaped and coloured to look like Beefburgers.

Ingredients
Mycoprotein (33%) Water , Onion , Textured Wheat Protein (Wheat Protein, Wheat Starch) , Hydrated Textured Vegetable Protein (Wheat Gluten, Water, Pea Protein, Potato Starch, Malt Flour, Vegetable Oil, Maltodextrin , Milk Protein) , Flavouring , Dried Free Range Egg White , Vegetable Oil , Tapioca Starch , Roasted Barley Malt Extract .
Quorn Cumberland Sausages... shaped and coloured to look like Sausages

Ingredients
Mycoprotein (34%) Rehydrated Free Range Egg White , Water , Onion , Vegetable Oil , Flavourings (with Colours: Iron Oxides) , Milk Proteins , Textured Wheat Protein (Wheat Protein, Wheat Starch) , Sage & Onion Stuffing (Breadcrumb, Rusk, Dried Onion, Salt, Herbs, Onion Powder, Chives, Wheat Flour, Pepper Extract, , Sage Extract) , Tapioca Starch , Gelling Agent: Pectin , Black Pepper , Thyme , Parsley
Quorn Crispy Chicken Style Nuggets... shaped and coloured to look like Chicken Nuggets

Ingredients
Mycoprotein (53%) Rehydrated Free Range Egg White, Onion, Flavourings, Milk Proteins , Tapioca Starch, Gelling Agent: Pectin] , Batter (Wheat Flour, Maize Flour, Wheat Starch, Salt, Dextrose, Raising Agents: Tetrasodium Diphospahte , Sodium Bicarbonate; Natural Colour: Curcumin) , Rice Flour , Vegetable Oil ,

In essence all Quorn products are made of the same fungus based gunge and most of the additives are the same. The only difference is to add or detract texture and colour and give the finished product a vague appearance of the real meat it is imitating. Why not either eat vegetables or meat?

Ratatouille? Does she eat cheese and eggs?

Stuffed peppers, marrows, spuds, fish??????

Quorn and Linda McCartney's range of veggie muck

No fish ~ it once had a life.

Some cheese and eggs ~ but only battery farmed eggs because free range may have been fertilised and therefore she would, by eating a fertilised egg, be destroying life.

SWWLTBO has forbidden me from arguing with the child about the stupidity of her ideas. I am under penalty of death if I dare to mention that to get cheese you first need to impregnate a cow, take away the calf (which will be slaughtered and eaten) but keep the cow lactating so that you can have the milk to make butter and cheese from. The THW has not worked that one out yet 

She will not eat marrow, peas, legumes of any sort, most beans. Peppers stuffed with Couscous are acceptable to her.

You should have heard the ruck that followed my commenting that some people believe that a cabbage screams when you cut it.

Ratatouille is out as she is allergic to tomatoes.

Spuds are acceptable so long as they are chips cooked in vegetable oil.

Like I said .... it isn't easy.

[Nick]

She should soon lose weight then 

How does she feel about turnips

[Snoopy]

Can't stand turnips apparently.

She seems to live on Donuts and crap like that and is putting on weight so fast that we fear for her health (Seriously)

[Miss Demeanour]

and you are sure it's down to food intake 

[Snoopy]

Since you ask ~ YES ~ although we have that concern as well, obviously.

[Nick]

A babby 



Oh 

[Snoopy]

Not this month I can guarantee.

Free range eggs purchased from a shop would never be fertilised it is illegal to run a cock with the flock. As it were.

My attitude is to let her make a complete fool of herself in the hope that she will realise the stupidity of her ways ..... meanwhile she bases her argument on the fact that the local farm, from whence I buy eggs, has hens and a rooster running round the yard. True free range eggs. Her mother indulges her in that she buys 6 eggs from the supermarket just for teenage fad consumption.

[Nick]

Where does she stand on fly spray?

[Snoopy]

I have no idea ~ we never use such stuff (Asthma sufferers do abound in this house)


We have not discussed a rolled newspaper but then she isn't expected to eat the resultant dead fly.

We have not discussed a rolled newspaper

I imagine that is also a source of great fear to your good self.
