This page looks pretty useful if you're concerned where to shop for organic foods in NZ!

Apparently they have something called TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein) over there

"TVP: (Textured Vegetable Protein) granules made from soy beans. Adds hearty texture to spaghetti sauces, chilli, soups, burgers etc. "

smells and tastes like cats guts. $5.99 a kilo for the 'chunks' and $4.99 for the 'mince' (bin inn)

My vegie mates love it, my kids cried, I weeped and hubby threw it out on to the lawn after 3 weeks of trying to use it (to make the $$ go further. I decided I would sacrifice shampoo over meat!!)

I would love to try this quorn stuff. SOunds great and just what we need here. All the veg sausages are expensive and full of fat....but just my opinion,..dont have a go!!!
