How do you pronounce it?

Kworn or corn?

Personally I'd say kworn and I find myself seconds from violence when I hear someone pronounce it corn. Even though I have no idea of how it should be officially pronounced.

What other odd/wrong pronunciation of words gets on your tits/moobs?

(People saying pacific where they mean specific is just fucking stupid. I have a zero tolerance approach to such people. Not claiming to be some kind of dictionary eating type but come on...it is just bloody ridiculous isn't it? Definitely worth getting extremely upset about).

I've no real need to talk about such shite. If you want something that has a resemblance to meat...eat meat.

'Pacific' gets on my teats too.

Down here they say 'marshmellows' which makes me want to force a whole bag of them down their throats.

Quorn is definitely pronounced kworn, how can anyone think it is corn?

Quirk/K worn/corn who cares how it's said it's just wrong.

However I like some of the things kids say when they are little and don't pronounce things properly. One of the favourites I had from my daughter was fireworkers instead of fireworks. A small difference but a cute one I think

No, you also need to know that they discovered it behind the CEO's foreskin. All Quorn is derived from that one smeggy lump.

Mine have come out with loads between them. My eldest was about six before he stopped saying 'computerer'.

And he used to refer to the Timothy Taylor beer as 'Lordland'.

Mo Farrah says quorn is all natural protein which obviously is polite way of saying it's man cheese.

My lad used to call my daughter 'my' so when he went to pre-school or whatever it was the teacher collared my missus and said 'yeah, he's been fine but he keeps asking 'where's my?' but he doesn't say what it is'

Right, you are all incorrect, Quorn pronounced Kworn is a tasty nutritious meat substitute. It is full of protein and is low in fat. It also tastes yummy. I partake on a regular basis. Quorn mince is just like real mince but without the disgusting gristle that you tend to get especially with cheap mince.

I challenge you all to make a dish substituting meat for Quorn. You will not be disappointed.

This thread has just reminded me of Forest Green and there nutcase chairman who made his money from green energy and went through a spell of serving only vegetarian food inside the ground. Being vegetarian, or worse vegan, is one thing but trying to convert others is as good a reason as any to start a war.

Where as the sausage making process is just a vision of lovelyness and kindness performed by soft fluffy animal welfare fairies.

My missus told me about when my lad was about 5 or 6 and she went to a garden centre to get a hanging basket. He said he wanted to help so the missus asked him to get one but he looked like he was struggling so the missus said to him 'you ok? are you struggling?' to which he replied 'I can't get this wanker'....the missus said 'what?! say that again' - 'I can't get this wanker'

Now, it was at the time when bedtime involved a book with loads of pictures where we'd say where is such and such, and he'd point to it. Just so happens that the book in question had pictures of pirates, a pirate ship, fish etc etc and one of the pictures was an anchor...go back to the garden centre.

The hanging baskets were on hooks that to my lad looked a lot like the anchor in the bedtime book. I think you can work out the rest.

(Admittedly, 'I can't get this anchor' also doesn't make 100% sense but there we are. He was 5 or 6 at the time).

No wonder people don't lime Kworn if it has Parmo's 'protein' in it.
