quorn

An edible protein that is not animal or vegetable based, developed in Europe. Quorn is a fungus and therefore not animal or vegetable, although bichemically similar to animals on the cellular level, so is a good source of nutrition. The organism from which Quorn is harvested is a batch-grown form of the tinnea fungus that causes athletes foot in humans.

" How do you like the stirfry? I used quorn instead of chicken for a change."

games workshop

Manufacturers of wargaming miniatures and rules for using such. Critics describe their work as one-dimensional, overpriced, larger than scale, and decry their habit of invalidating entire ranges of miniatures by redrafting rulebooks every four years. Adherents praise their work as accessible, market leading, pioneering new scales for detailing purposes, and utilising the latest in bleeding edge demographic-tailored marketing strategies.

What is certain is that through shipstone operations on allied companies, a clever exclusivity campaign and various strategies they have become the largest wargaming company in the world; Though, in spite of their claim, not the only one.

b:"Gee, after five tries, you think they'd get it right . . . "
