Quorn
I ate Quorn, what has the world come to?
I know, I know... I'm not a vegetarian, nor will I ever be, but I needed something to make a curry with but meat is so bloody expensive nowadays I was compelled to try something new. It's not much cheaper, but you get more for your money, so the frugal part of my personality took over and decided to ignore my one golden rule, you must eat as many animals as possible every day!
I'm the type of guy that orders the whitebait starter and a mixed grill every time, knowing full well that about 40 animals had to die to feed my face, so making a vegetarian meal for myself is something quite rare. Don't get me wrong, I hold an award for cooking vegetarian meals, but for my personal dinner table, I need a 5lb lump of raw meat every time.
So, I know what you are going to ask. Did I like it?
I have no real opinion on it to be honest. It looked like chicken, it cooked like chicken, it's a bit softer than chicken, but there was no real flavour to it. Ideal for dishes with rich sauces, like a curry, as long as you pack it out with something you can get your teeth into.
Would I eat it again?
I suppose so, but it will never ever replace the real thing. I'll try to make a bolognaise with the mince version sometime, just to see if my lasagnes are as shit-hot as they normally are with real beef.

I know lots of tasty veg dishes with plenty of texture and flavour. I agree with you about Quorn - it's edible but only with reallly good sauces but quite a lot of people can't tolerate it very well.
