My sister in law is a veggie and when we were down visiting them with our little ones we went to their house for lunch on the Sunday. She'd made a chilli con carne and we all tucked in and it was really yummy, then I saw her with a plate of it and I only then realised that it was obviously not mince meat in the chilli but quorn! I honestly didn't notice any difference in the taste, texture etc and I've been meaning to buy it to cook with due to it having low cals, carbs etc.

Let us know how you get on Emily...x
