Yes, they were queuing out the door at my local Woolies after it went on sale today. Unfortunately the queue led to the toilets where everybody was chucking it up. ;)

I posted this a while back but sadly I can't seem to find an accurate date that the products actually will be on shelves. I have a feeling they will not be there for too long either after I clear them :)

There's a FB group called 'Bring Quorn to Australia' and on there someone actually had a response from Woolies stating the date! Even if the sausages cost $10 for one, I'll be buying HEAPS! YAYYYYYYY!!!!

Got an email from Coles:

"Thank you for your recent email. We are pleased to advise you that Quorn products will be available in our stores on the 21st of July.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any further enquires."

Let's hope they bring out more of the range at some point too :)

I'm loving this discussion ;)
I'm moving over next month and thought that I'd turn into a rabbit by being forced to live on salad! Hurray!

Me too, the Sanitarium stuff is ok, but it's a little bit too greasy for my liking....

KatieStar Jun 18th 2010 11:49 am

Re: Quorn is coming to Australia - WOO HOO!!!
 
I could never get excited by the Sanitarium stuff. The curry flavour sausages are ok, but not great.

Hubby is looking forward to a quorn curry :)

So glad Quorn is going to be sold in Australia, I'll have something to eat this time next year! My friend in Sydney hassled them endlessly so she's taking personal credit for them deciding to sell it there :thumbsup:
