Prankster dad tells daughter to 'leave home' after finding Quorn in freezer

An aspiring vegetarian was left stunned when her prankster 'meat-loving' dad sent her a message demanding she 'pack her things and leave his house' - after discovering her packet of Quorn in the freezer.

Hollie Woodall had been 'totally put off' meat after recent bad bout of food poisoning from chicken so had stocked up on the meat substitute in the freezer at home.

But when her 'big beef fan' dad Paul Woodall discovered them he quickly told his daughter to 'get packing' after having branded it the 'vilest thing he's ever tasted' and vowing to never try again.

The 58-year-old dad proclaimed her love for the meat alternative was 'beyond forgiveness'.

Bar manager Hollie, 34, admits she originally panicked as she only saw the first message telling her to 'pack her things and leave' - however was eventually left in 'hysterics' when the picture of the Quorn loaded and she realised it was a prank.

Seeing the funny side, Hollie created hilarious photos of her packing her shunned veggie products into suitcases and leaving her family home, while her dad grimaced at the sight of them.

Retired mechanical engineer Paul, of York, North Yorkshire, said: "I'm a meat lover and a big beef fan - I like my steaks and my joints.

"Somebody gave me Quorn years ago and I thought it was the vilest thing I've ever tasted and haven't touched it since - it might have improved by now but I'm still not going to eat it.

"She knows I hate anything like that or substitute stuff because everything I buy is fresh - I don't buy anything frozen and like everything natural.

"We're a very close family and I just make light of everything as I like to see them smile - we're like this all the time anyways it doesn't matter what it is.

"I just thought it would be funny if I sent her that and it seems to have gone crazy and I've carried it on for a bit - it's all light-hearted and we have a good laugh out of things."

Hollie who's a pescatarian and is aiming to eventually become a vegetarian shared the texts received from her dad on Facebook and her friends have found it equally as hilarious.

Hollie said: "The Wifi was bad and the first picture didn't load so all I saw was 'pack your things and leave immediately' and I was like 'what?' and then it loaded and I was just in hysterics

"As soon as he sent it to me I screenshotted it and posted it because I thought it was hilarious - I was just sat at work howling.

"My dad is just a joker and takes the mick out of me for everything - we're always winding each other up and stuff.

"I've been dieting since November and lost over two stone and have been finding ways to get more protein that isn't meat as I'm trying to get into being vegan.

"My dad doesn't understand all that - he's old school and just takes the mick."
