Egg- Quorn

I recently came across a Gursikh who keeps strong amritvela, does simran throughout the day and very humble sikh, however, he does not eat raw eggs but he consumes products from brand such as Quorn which contain egg. He has told me that all the singhs he knows consume this and there is nothing wrong with it?

What are the Sangats views on here?

Quorn is bound with egg albumen or egg white in common language, possibly he doesn't know that , explain it to him gently

I don't see what the difference between raw egg and egg is. It's still egg.

You should buy him this brand that sells vegan chicken and stuff. The brand is called Fry's it's at Holland and barrat and Ocado. They sell other eggs less products recommend them.

Oh I didn't know that. But I only had it once, and I didn't like the taste.

Any other ones? The ones I've tried tasted like plastic. Not that I eat plastic paper cups ? But you get the drift.

i get linda mccartneys regular sausages occasionally to put in pasta sauces, but i always scan the ingredients list as they never let you know when they change formulas. sainsburys bean burgers are ok , you can get a larger range of Fry's and other veggie brands online through Ocado ,fry's strips are good in stirfries and mexican recipes.

I used to get covent garden minestrone that is until they 'improved' it by putting bacon in it ! best bet is to learn the recipes you like and make it yourself . I did do experiments with soya mince bound with cooked rice to make 'meatballs' as the commercially available ones are all bound with egg.

Thank you penji. I used to have Linda McCartney ones years ago but now they don't seem to taste so good.

There used to be some in Ssinsburys but they stopped doing them. Haven't tried the frys will give them a go. Yeah they keep improving recipes and it tastes like plastic or it maybe my taste has changed. The veggies balls sound good.

You guys should give up eating processed / frozen foods altogether. They aren't good for you, certainly not in the quantities I've observed even Gursikhs shovelling Quorn and Linda McCartney products down their throats.

Fresh vegetables, brown rice, wholewheat pasta (within reason) or even the standard Punjabi roti and daal / sabzi is king, minus the excess butter and oil in the latter dishes. That other stuff drags me down physically and mentally. Not cool.

Good points. Yes you are right paji. The processed causes fatigue too. Daal sabji is best, full of nutrients, but sometimes you want something quick when there's not much time to prepare.
