I love these, very easy tooI am planning on trying Tofu for the first time this week. Any particular type or form good for a newbie Tofu eater in the UK?
Quorn do one - could it have been that?Hi, I have a question if anyone can help. About 3/4 years ago my daughter was vegetarian and I bought a veggie chicken roast joint for our Sunday dinner, it looked, smelled and tasted great, but a couple of hours later, I was continually sick/vomiting ( I have coeliac) I'm sure it wasn't Linda McCartney, but I can't remember what the name of it was, so is this a tofu product, also I had no change in my usual veggies, gravy or potatoes ?
TIA

I have issues with fungi and fungi derivatives, so am a bit wary of quorn type things.

@Robinredbreast I make tofu and its just coagulated wholebean soymilk; no gluten ivolved and not really the sort of thing I'd use as a joint.
Thi is the description of quorn mince
"Mycoprotein (93%), Rehydrated Free Range Egg White, Natural Caramelised Sugar, Firming Agents: Calcium Chloride, Calcium Acetate; Gluten Free Barley Malt Extract. For allergens, including cereals containing glutens, see ingredients in bold."
So it could have been that, but I make seitan and it always involves a fair bit of vital wheat gluten and I thought of you when I first made it, and how ill you'd be if you ate it.

Beyond Meat has gluten free chicken and beef products, you might check out the ingredients for next time. It's a pea protein base.

I thought they were no soya, no gluten products. Did I miss something, BB?Err no they don't..
