Re: Quorn
I sent an email to Marlowfoods and this is what they had said:
"Thank you for your recent contact regarding Quorn products. We were pleased to hear that you enjoy them. Unfortunately, as you are aware, Quorn products are not yet available in Australia, and at this time we cannot say when and indeed if they will be introduced there, however we will forward your comments on. Quorn products are currently available in the UK, USA, Ireland, Sweden, Switzerland, Belgium, The Netherlands and Denmark. If you are able to purchase Quorn Products in stores other than the countries listed above please be aware Marlow Foods have not been involved in the overseas distribution of these products. Also for your interest as Quorn products are sold frozen, it is not feasible to despatch small quantities for direct sale. As products become available in more countries, details will appear on our website at www.quorn.com. Thank you once again for your enquiry and please do not hesitate to contact us again if you require any further information or advice" So there we are... |

KFC - now that scares me! Think I would rather eat Quorn! Mind you, a friend of mine here supplies maccers with their beef and that's interesting! They buy the cheapest "best" cuts and also 25% fat to mix in themselves! At least the fast food guys have stopped making their chips/fries in animal (pork) fat which again, many veggies have been eating for years thinking chips are fine! Potatoes are cool. It was actually a muslim in the US who sued Maccers when he found it out he had been eating chips deep fried in pork fat. I think they all use veggie oil now.

Thanks for that.
I'm really interested in veggies who eat alot of the processed stuff. I'm with you on the organic front. Is it not that big over in Perth then? Havent eaten meat, fish or dairy for years but been told I should despite a good diet. Trying to get my head round eating fish at the mo - its an odd thought. Mark |

Mark Yeah I'm going to start eating some fish. I'v been vegan for 24 yrs so it is an odd thought. But seems for long term health tis better. Not going to get into dairy - maybe odd bit of yoghurt & feta. Still weird the thought of eating a fish - plan is this week - hope I can stomach it :) |

G'day
Quorn is a small town in South Australia, NNE of Adelaide. It is where they made the movie "Sunday, Too far away" starring Jack Thompson. The whole town is probably for sale. |

Wow, 24 is a long time but Australia is a great country to start eating fish in. For a gentle introduction, try a bit of whiting - very light, very tasty. Then work your way up to grilled Red Emperor with salsa verde (olive oil, lemon parsely and a bit of garlic)
Good luck Mark Mmmmm....Yes little by little methinks. I had a boiled egg y'day so I'm starting. My ex has been vegan for years too (a supposedly good vegan diet)..he had a blood test & was told his B12 was the lowest the Dr. had seen for 15 years & gave him a shot immed'ly & told him to eat some fish/flesh &/or dairy & keep doing so. Bizarre that we were both given the same advise seperately. I'm off for a blood test too now. Be interesting. Quite funny as been here for years & about to move back to Uk but tomorrow I'm going to the fishmongers with nooooo idea so will look for the whiting..oh & salsa verde is yum yum cheers T |

When I spoke to them they used the age old excuse that they couldn't source enough free range eggs ( although I'm sure with their profits they could have started their own free range farm ). They now use free range eggs :) Well that's what its says on their packaging! Hope they are not telling us fibs about that :blink: T x |
