I don't want to shoot the messenger, or maybe I do:)
Just tried changing my LNB, and re-doing the cables, to be met by hail stones, rain, and a cold wind, some Summer BBQ weather !!!!!!!

I ve build one greenhouse several years ago, but it was busy at winter time to store some dishes there. IMG_20170423_223017 (Custom).jpg sorry for bad quality of the picture.... it is dark outside, you know.
BTW, I have no idea what kind of animal quorn is! Something really small?

Somewhere in England (possibly?)!

AFAIK, it's made from something like VERY tiny little "fungus" (think microscopic mushroom spoors) - so it's just about "vegetarian" and so, in my limited experience, it's a bit short of "flavour" until you add something else!

Having been a vegetarian for some years (now lapsed) I can confirm that Quorn is much better than Tofu. You are correct, on it's own, it is practically tasteless. However, when used in pies and sausages etc. it's a passable meat substitute. After we moved to France, it became impossible to source Quorn here and when my late wife passed away, I reverted to carnivorous habits......the smell of frying smoky bacon is hard to resist...

One of our friends is a vegetarian, hence the quorn. But even as a carnivore, I do eat the occasional veggie sausage in the interests of obvious health benefits.

Vegetarian food and alcohol-free beer are first two steps towards rubber woman. Just trying to make a joke :-rofl2

I've started the season couple of weeks ago, just some sausages and very fast. ;)
Season - what Season?
I run the Grill year-round here.
And with Coal - none of all that Gas-grill Top-Broil stuff.
Sometimes it can be hard to light the coals when it's snowing heavily.
I'll give you that.
Trick it to light them under an awning facing away from the wind... :)
Another trick is to store the coal inside in normal in-doors conditions.
Keeps them nice and dry...

Surely proper smoked bacon is almost as difficult get in France as Quorn is? I know that we take plenty of bacon down with us whenever we go to France.

Sorry, bit of a misleading generalisation, in that the smell of smokey bacon is the worst thing to tempt a vegetarian back to meat. We have an English butcher trading in a nearby town, though I'm not sure if he does smokey bacon....his pies and sausage rolls are very good though...
