intermezzo 3 the value of protein

remember my little rant about processed protein? well one of the things that i argued was that little, tiny bits of protein that come in cardboard boxes (and if your lucky plastic to prevent freezer burn, somehow the presumption is that if its not real meat it is not affected by real freezer burn) are ridiculously expensive ... well in defense of that argument i present exhibit "A:"

now, i appreciate the exceptional quality of food at ASDA (or walmart for those of you admiring this sale from afar) but i must object that i just don't think that quorn fingers are worth £1247.25 per kilo, in fact, it would be a stretch to suggest that they are worth 3 for 5, particularly when you can get them sometimes at iceland foods for just a £1 a box, and of course even at that price, the veggie "fingers" that come out of my kitchen, made from wheat gluten power, or beans, or tofu are still cheaper, fresher, and tastier than anything the fungal engineers in quorn's labs can muster, good try ASDA!
