What's quorn, exactly? A vegetarian guest said he eats it, but we got interrupted, and then I forgot to ask him what it was. There's an entry in only one of our three dictionaries, but it says only that it's made from a kind of fungus. Mamta says it contains egg. Can vegetarian guests from Britain buy it easily in the UK and bring it with them to France?

Hello Phil

Quorn is not suitable for people who are vegans. See Quorn UK website: http://www.quorn.co.uk//cmpage.aspx?section=WhatIsQuorn

Look at Qurn website at http://www.quorncomments.com/faq.htm#faq1 It says:

"Q3: Who are Quorn. foods suitable for?

A. Quorn. foods are suitable for all (except strict vegans . they contain eggs and milk), who are interested in great tasting foods which contribute to a healthy lifestyle."

I am sure your friends can bring it in a chiller bag. It is not far to France from here!

If you come up with any nice recipes, do share them with us.
