Quorn

The House of More has a pretty Georgian paneling through most of the rooms, but in the dining room the walls are level and painted a dull stone color. […] Some photographs of the Quorn hung over the mantelpiece, and five or six drab ancestors filled up the remaining space.

I've never hunted myself, but I understand that half the battle is being able to make noises like some jungle animal with dyspepsia, and I believe that Aunt Dahlia in her prime could lift fellow-members of the Quorn and Pytchley out of their saddles with a single yip, though separated from them by two ploughed fields and a spinney.

It is now easier for a vegetarian to eat sufficient protein because of products such as Quorn, tofu and textured vegetable protein.

April brings the main course: a medley of asparagus tips, shiitake mushrooms, and the featured ingredient, an unlikely hybrid of life-giving wholesomeness and bio-industrial hubris known as Quorn.

For a vegetarian option, use Quorn pieces instead of prawns.

I opted for the vegan breakfast (£4.57), which comes with two Quorn sausages, baked beans, two hash browns, mushroom, tomato, a slice of toast and a vegan spread.
