Quorn/Own brand meat free mince etc

Hi

Just wondering if the supermarket own brand style of Quorn mince are free like Quorn? Am off to the shops .. hence question, no books with me.

No they tend to be soya based and therefore usually have a syn value. I must admit that I get Asda own make meat-free mince because it tastes much nicer that the quorn mince and you get a big bag for £2. It works out at only 1.5 syns for 100g raw weight.

And by the way Asda meatfree meatballs are just the best! In fact I think I'll have some for my tea - only 2 syns for the whole bag of about 28 meatballs.

Thanks for that, its Asda that I am off too. I might get their meat free mince like you said its a big bag for £2. Ta

I don't like quorn mince so I always use asda meat free mince and meatballs, it's so much nicer and has a more meaty texture, definitely worth the syns. I tried tesco own make but wasn't impressed.
