re Quorn as a name.... I wonder if it's a variant on corn, given that it was developed as an aminal feed and uses the waste startch from cereal processing?

During the 1960s, it was predicted that by the 1980s there would be a shortage of protein-rich foods.[5] In response to this, research programmes were undertaken to use single-cell biomass as an animal feed. Contrary to the trend, J. Arthur Rank instructed the Rank Hovis McDougall (RHM) Research Centre to investigate converting starch (the waste product of cereal manufacturing undertaken by RHM) into a protein-rich food for human consumption.
