Cow and pig. A bit of fatty pork with either beef or veal.
So still generally involving cow.
Do angry vegans turn you against going vegan?

That's my point! Why would you use quorn? Wrong 'uns.

A lot of people I know make chilli with turkey mince. I say people, I mean dickheads.

That's what she meant by wrong 'uns.

But then it isn't bolognese or ragu, which definitely includes meat, and despite what you say above, it traditionally includes

Hardly getting over it.
Greebo and I did, and it tasted great. Like anything, you have to season in a complimentary manner, and use good quality ingredients. Oh, and full-fat mince, not the fat-reduced stuff.But people make bolognaise and chilli out of it?

I'll start again.
I am veggie but I have no interest in making chilli or bolognaise out of something that tastes like chicken (ie quorn). I just don't like the flavour. I was joking when I said that people were wrong 'uns. I am sure that some meat eaters and some veggies enjoy it. I, however, do not.

The quorn mince I had didn't taste like chicken.

Both traditionally pork, because pigs are easier for peasants to manage and feed, than cows. Tex-Mex chilli recipes tend to be beef or a mix of pork and beef, but most Mex recipes are finely-diced or minced pork. I gave a Hungarian Chilli-loving neighbour some pork chilli I made (we swap meals occasionally), and she couldn't work out why it tasted familiar but different. 3 things: Mexican unsweetened bitter cooking chocolate (courtesy of Noor cash and carry); finely-chopped shoulder pork, cooked slow, and dried tomatillos chopped in with the tomatoes, to sour things up a little.

Beef only became the main meat used, when beef production cheapened enough for it to become an "everyday" ingredient. In the US, that was in the '30s, in Europe, it was the '50s.

Snake tastes like chicken, so does alligator tail. Sadly, often chicken doesn't taste like chicken, anymore.

I've had alligator and it was nothing like chicken. Not sure which bit though - was a long time ago.
I'll take your word re: snake.

Mexican bitter cooking chocolate?
Had never heard of it, but it sounds intriguing.
ViolentPanda
Hardly getting over it.
There's a lot of it around, if you look. I use "Diana chocolate de Mesa Sin Azucar" for drinking chocolate (either Euro or Mex style), and "Luker" for cooking savoury stuff. Noor in Brixton stocks them because of the large Iberian and central and south American populations in Lambeth.

Quorn chunks taste like chicken to me. You use them like chicken in, say, a curry. So why anyone thinks that Quorn mince should taste like beef is a mystery to me. I don't have a problem with Quorn chunks, I quite like them, but I don't like Quorn mince.

Quorn tastes like a mould found in chemical waste bins

That's unfair.
It's much more closely related to the fungus that causes toenail infections.

woosh <---- watch out for the flying joke
If that is what you eat my follow up question about choosing mince or steak in a restaurant is pointless.

Chicken is another bland meat that renders virtually no flavour in its self.
I'd say Quorn chunks resemble the texture of chicken.
I don't like them but the mince I don't mind in a lasagne
It does seem a bit nuts if you have to add beef flavour to make your beef mince taste of beef.
I agree with Jeff Robinson that it's more about the texture. There used to be a thing (maybe still is) called TVP which was dried Soya mince, that you had to soak in water. It actually had a proper bitey texture. Tasted rank though.

Sounds like you’ve just never had really good chicken.

i was just pointing out that the deep meaty flavour in a good chilli comes from the mince as well as the stock. And of course the stock is basically meat juice. So I wouldn't expect a vegan to go anywhere near it.
Either way, I don't really want to derail the thread on this point. It's not really important.
Not so I've missed tbh

Guy who sits next to me at work lives in Melton - will show him this when he's back at his desk...
The guy from the pie shop in Melton was unconcerned, saying it's not a pork pie so no biggie, and is likely just a marketing ploy.
He is certainly correct on the first count and I expect he also correct on the second.

So nothing to do with any comment made by the people of Melton themselves and everything to do with Morrison’s making that decision for them.
