Quorn Ready Meal: Chicken Style Pieces in Black Bean Sauce

If you're not familiar with Quorn, basically they're a vegetarian food.  They're made of a protein rich fungus (sounds gross, but in reality it's not that dissimilar from mushrooms) and come in all type of meat-alternative styles. 

Quorn also makes some ready meals.  Normally liking Quorn products, I gave their ready meal of chicken style pieces in black bean sauce a try.  And I immediately regretted it.  The food just wasn't good.  This product definitely gets the thumbs down from me.

Abuelo's Food Embassy

In my last post, I mentioned a fantastic Knoxville restaurant that offers great food for vegetarians.  Today's post has the flip side of that coin.  Abuelo's Food Embassy is a Mexican Restaurant located in Farragut (a West Knox suburb).  If you're a vegetarian, this is a restaurant to avoid.  Pretty much the only vegetarian item they serve is the salsa!

Tomato Head Restaurant in Knoxville, TN

the Sunsphere in downtown Knoxville (near Tomato Head)

Being vegetarian, I've had my fair share of going to restaurants that expect me to just eat side orders or have a salad (specially ordered since all of their salads come with meat in them).  Some restaurants, though, serve fantastic vegetarian food that appeals to everyone--vegetarians and meat eaters alike.  One of these restaurants is The Tomato Head in Knoxville, Tennessee.

The Tomato Head is located in central Knoxville in vibrant Market Square.  The restaurant is small but inviting with a patio area out front.  Their food is inventive and addictively delicious.  Just thinking about it makes me wish that I had one of Tomato Head's fantastic vegetarian sandwiches right now.  If you're in the Knoxville area, I highly recommend stopping for a meal at Tomato Head.
