I came home at noon today ravenous. I needed to make a lunch and quick. After scouring the fridge I found a box of Quorn (pronounced Corn – I am guessing) – Meatless & Soy Free Gourmet Burgers.
I figured, hmm, must be something like a garden burger. Anyway, I prepared my sandwich and half way through eating it I start to examine what I am eating. It looks almost like meat, but not. It has a strange flavor, not entirely bad though. Curiosity set in and I had to read the ingredients on the box to determine exactly what I was eating. The first ingredient is Mycoprotein (37%). I didn’t know what “mycoprotein” was and it comprised 37 percent of the sandwich I was eating. What the hell was I eating? I read the box further and in small print at the bottom of the box there is a warning which describes what mycoprotein is. The warning states: “There have been rare cases of allergic reactions to products which contain mycoprotein, a member of the fungi/mold family“. What the heck, I have been eating a mold sandwich this whole time? Who the hell uses the word “succulent” to describe mold? What’s next Soylent Green?!
Stupendous! Sweet almost fruity front end dissipating to a caramelly mid and burnt marshmellow finish. Put this on your bucket list. I rate this a 94! So good.
A while back I had the pleasure of having some Michter’s Limited Release Bourbon – Toasted Barrel Finish. It has a nice nose, slight scent of oak, smoke, and caramel. It has a pronounced initial flavor profile – enjoyable toffee, oaky, and only slightly hot – very smooth due to the toasted oak barrel finish. That initial flavor, however, dissipates rapidly and leaves the middle and finish of the drink weak in my opinion. Wish the initial flavor had stronger staying power throughout. Overall a pretty decent bourbon and one I would gladly drink again. I rate it at 88.
