Do come to dinner :)

Posted on 2 November, 2015 by

Quorn

Posted on 22 June, 2012 by

Fake meat? Processed food? Junk food? High protein meat-free ready meal? Fresh from the laboratory? All of those, and more. Or as the website says, a wonder food. Well, not quite, in my opinion. What is Quorn? It’s made from … Continue reading →

On going out

Posted on 10 July, 2009 by
