The Great Quorn Debate
I know that Quorn is not available in Australia, but does anyone know why? It's probably a British company, but I'm sure it'd not be that hard for an Aussie company to take on? Also, for those of you in the know, the non-meat eaters, are there decent Aussie alternatives to Quorn? I've been on Slimming World here in the UK for 2 and a half years and have been @ goal weight since Jan 08, all thanks to Quorn (a 'free' food on SW, meaning you can eat as much of it as you like), couldn't do without my sausage butties every morning (no rude comments 
)...so if there are alternatives to Quorn, are they as low fat as Quorn would be? Oh and of course, are they tasty?
(Flip me the above paragraph could be taken as an entry into a competition to see how many times I can type Quorn in one sitting lol!)

Sounds like Yorkshire so I can translate. Honestly that 'cult' is still knocking around saying you can survive by just 'eating' air. I remember reading that the lady in question was seen in a posh restraunt eating chocolate gateux.
I don't eat red meat so BBQ's may make me look like a right softie

Oz's strict laws have a problem with the base substance.
