WOO HOO!!!! lol (I went to Coles this morning before school and they had just finished putting all of the Quorn out, I managed to grab the manager who showed me where it was, at which point I started giggling like an absolute nutjob, poor fella! ...All he could say was, 'Oh I love your accent where r u from!?' meanwhile I was saying 'Where is it, show me the Quorn NOWWWW!!!' lololol

:thumbsup:

Wow that is a whole lot of Quorn. I am going to have to get to my local supermarkets and see are they stocked up yet. :)

I held some over to pick up after school, and embarrassingly, when I arrived back it seemed nobody had bought anything from the cabinet lol :lol:

I have had a look on Coles online in the Sydney area and they don't seem to have it.

If anyone finds it in the Sydney area, I will travel far to buy:) please let me know

Thanks

There are some Quorn products in Coles in Pyrmont (cottage pie, lasagne and sausages) but not all. Can't wait for the dippers to arrive! Has anybody found them in Sydney?

Candy Groove Jun 21st 2010 6:20 pm

Re: Quorn is coming to Australia - WOO HOO!!!
 
They had the whole selection in Coles in Hornsby today :thumbup:

yes, even the dippers if you fancy a trek out there!

I've not told my kids yet - going to cook some for dinner and suprise them :) They're not expecting it because Coles sent me an email saying it was the 21st July not June!

Is Prince Philip going to be coming as-well?

Re: Quorn is coming to Australia - WOO HOO!!!
 
My local Coles has them all too, so that's two stores I've found stocking it all! I wonder when Woolies will follow suit!? It is a bit expensive though at $5.99 but I guess that's the price one has to pay for quality and taste, YUM YUM!!!:thumbup:

Blimey.... I dont partake, but the two Daughters I have living at home would love to. I guess the Missus would give it a go as well. Oldest Daughter wouldnt even know what it is... the Youngest only tried it on holiday, but she gave it the thumbs up.

I guess I'll have to go have a wander up to the Local Coles.... So Coles carries more variety than Woolworths correct ?

Mmmmm! The canteen at my old work used to make Quorn sausage sammichs, on those mornings when one felt a bit 'delicate' they were the bees knees. And subsidised so about 50p :thumbsup:

Welly-2-Oz Jun 22nd 2010 11:13 am

Re: Quorn is coming to Australia - WOO HOO!!!
 
You can find the whole range now in Coles Broadway (Sydney). I have a bag-full of dippers :thumbsup:

Stocks are now in a both Coles in Capalaba, Bayside Brisbane.

Just as a note - Coles is the only supermarket chain at present with stock. Dont bother with Woolworths.

We went to the Belridge Coles this morning, and bought one pack of everything. So far we have eaten the sausages, they were nice, as good as I remember them in the UK, and also a pack of sausage rolls, they were disappointing to be honest. They were basically mostly pastry, with precious little quorn inside. We only ate 4 of the 6, left the other two for the children to try when they get home from school. For tea (dinner if you are posh) we are having our first chilli for over six years, again though the chilli mince is a little disappointing as there is only 300 grams in the bag, we will just make a small chilli, as in a bigger one, I suspect the mince would be lost. Still looking forwards to it though. A little perplexed they didnt ship the fillets over, we used to eat loads of them, as they tandooried and tikka'd very well. WE will have to work with whats currently here, and hope sales are good enough to convince Quorn to ship more products over, I used to love the sundried tomato sausages.

By the way all products were $ 5.99

When compared to stuff like fish (I do eat fish, just not meat) it stacks up pretty well, but for the portion sizes it is pretty expensive.

OMG - this is the best news I have had in months!!! Has anyone found any in Melbourne??

Just out of interest, I was always told that Australia wouldn't allow Quorn because it's genetically modifed - so what's changed?

Shellfish Jun 22nd 2010 8:46 pm

Re: Quorn is coming to Australia - WOO HOO!!!
 
Ignore my previous statement - I read on their website that it's not genetically modified.

I am almost beside myself - wondering if it's worth going to Coles now??
I haven't had it in 7 years so hope I won't be dissapointed

I think they were having problems as it's bound with egg albumen and this didn't cut it with the Department of whoever monitors these things. Don't know how they got around it but am glad they did :thumbsup:(or at least I will be glad when I finally bloody move!)

In the 3 packages of Quorn dippers I've opened so far there were only 13 dippers (should be 14).

Anyone else had the same experience?

If this is a general trend, someone is making an extra 7% profit :thumbdown:

Woohooooo, finally found Quorn in my local coles and more than a wee bit excited. Had the sausages last night and stocked up on pieces, strips and schnitzels. At long last some decent veggie food.
