sicknd-by-chikn-food - From MSNBC

Didn't read the whole article but thought It might interest some...

...Quorn products, sold at popular grocery chains including Whole Foods, come in the shape of artificial “Chik’n” patties or nuggets – or even cylindrical beef approximations or turkey “roasts." The main ingredient is a so-called mycoprotein -- protein extracted from a microscopic fungus. Quorn has sparked a yum or eww debate among vegetarians since it hit the U.S. market nearly a decade ago.

The people who got sick have a food allergy...it's not that there was anything wrong with the product.

Mushrooms are fungus too.

They're really good. Kroger brownsboro carries the cutlets stuffed w gruyere. I bought them because mushroom is my favorite food. They taste like neither mushrooms or chicken though.
You know what the veggie preacher told his congregation though.
"there's a fungus among us, let us spray"

My mom became a vegetarian for medical reasons several years ago and she likes Quorn products. It's nice for her to show up at Thanksgiving and have something turkey-like to enjoy with the rest of us. Although, she did indulge this past year and had the real bird and ate around the bacon in the creamy bleu chz brussel sprouts recipe that I got from Brad Keeton in the kitchen forum - BEST brussel sprouts ever ever ever. If you're reading this Brad - I forgot to thank you for that one. House favorite, for sure.

Thanks, Jackie. They're great, though I suppose Alton Brown deserves the credit. Sorry we didn't have a chance to talk at the Whiskey Roulette.
