I just really don't like Quorn. To up the protein I would put sweet potatoes, a small tin of chickpeas or a cup of green peas and serve with wild rice instead of white rice. A cup of cooked green peas contains more protein than a cup of milk.

Quorn is fungus farts.

Seriously it's pure fungal protein that's the processed to not look like slime.

If you look into how it's made it's a pure artificial process where the stuff is grown up in a a batch and then it starts producing proteins and is the killed off and separated.

Started putting potato’s into our home made currys when we do them. Nice to thicken things up and soak up all the flavour

Small potatoes are ideal for any soaked in stews or curries or casseroles etc.

Yeah, but we don't like peas and didn't have any chickpeas.

Massamam curries have potatoes in. If they don't its not a massaman.

Thai curries don't count.... having tried various Thai curries can say I'm not a fan of them.

Based on your username, it sounds like you are not the guardian of curries, but rather moussaka and kebabs...

I don't like chickpeas, it was a suggestion for your added protein

Hows about some cakes then.

Lockdown saw us perfect chocolate, red velvet and Victoria sponge.

The missus' sister got into the whole icing stuff and made a business out of it. She cannot bake for ****e. Her cakes are absolutely pants compared to mine but I refuse to get all uppity like those yank cake shows which are all about icing and decoration.

Cake is for eating.

Never liked cake much, every year im bought one for my birthday and it just goes to everyone else.

Dont mind cake and cream or cake and ice cream but by itself, nah.

Just about stomach a small slice of lemon cheesecake and even then i need tea with it.

I have a big sweet tooth for chewy sweets, haribos, cola bottles and stuff like that, but not for other sweet things like cakes and chocolates.
