Sod all that, cook some proper meat and tell her it's quorn.

Bizarrely if they make the shapes too "perfect" the customers don't like it so they deliberately make it a bit raggedy.

I've been round the factory a couple of times and out of all the food factories I've been in, I'd be more than happy to eat Quorn. They're very careful over the quality of their product and it's an amazing place- a huge factory that's one massive fridge. It's effing freezing. Oh and all the flavourings go through a bit of my company's kit to sift out all the bits that shouldn't be in there like nuts and bolts and rat shit.

Anyway. Veggie dish.

Parsnip risotto. It's bloody lovely. Make a risotto. Add small parsnip cubes fried in a seperate pan. Mmmmmmmmmm.

Sounds delicious

The parsnip risotto appeals to me. Sadly, parsnip is yet another ingredient in the long list of Turbs' dislikes.

The more I think about it, the more I think I'm going to cook for Little Naughty and I, and Turbs can order in a curry. Fussy bugger.

cannelloni stuffed with ricotta, spinach and pinenuts drowned in a tin of tomatoes served with warm ciabatta bread - easy and delish!

And easily purchased in my local M & S, I'll wager

Nice one. And you can do two pans of the parsnip cubes, one with chunks of bacon in it. Stick 'em in dishes on the table along with a bowl of parmesan shavings and people can choose which sort they want. Keep everyone happy that way.

Try cubed fennel baked in lemon juice and black pepper then.

Sod it. I'm cooking chicken fajitas without the chicken, just loads of peppers, vine tomatoes, red onion, courgettes and feta cheese. With salsa, sour cream and guacamole in bowls for self-service.
