Favourite veggie sausage?

[RubyToogood]

I've probably posted this elsewhere, but my current favourite veggie sausage is the Lidl one from the chiller when available. They're beany rather than meaty, so a good option for those who don't like fake meat.

I stock up for the freezer when I see them (which is why these are frozen).

Just had a 'This Isn't Pork' sausage for brekkie- best fake veggie one out there imo...

Nah N not too keen on those, also they're at the pricier end (£3-£3.50 for 270g, compared to Quorn bangers which are around £2.75 for the same weight, and Richmonds which are £2.15-£2.40 for 304g).

By a spooky co-incidence, on a whim, I also bought a pack of those today.




I mean, what are the chances of that happening, eh???

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

Ate these the other day



If I didn't know they were vegetarian I would have thought they were kinda nice but a bit odd catering level regular sausages.

They are pricey, always wait for them to be reduced. Not keen on Richmond, salty and squishy. Cauldron are my other fave.

Have you tried the new Cauldrons? The ones worth the kind of cartoon writing on the packaging?

Oh no! I bet the labelling has quirky writing on it too in the first person.

I got some Tesco Plant Chef ones today, as they were in the use-by-today fridge. Not great, if you ask me.

Hmm

Not quite, but it's probably going to be the next iteration

 

[sojourner]

Uh oh! Cauldron are tinkering again, and there are already howls of outrage across social channels. Only a matter of time before they change them back again

We had them last night and they are fucking VILE. Skin's wrong, texture's solid, taste is shite. Gave me terrible indigestion all night too.

I don't think they're even bothering to respond to criticism on social media.

Absolute twattery. Why do they do it? They were No 1, why fuck with it?! I have been following a fairly rigorous no-UPF regime for 18 months or so now but every now and again, I like a decent veggie saussie with mash. Comfort food. I have just seen the old-style ones on Tesco so I've ordered them, but if they sub with the new, they're going straight back.

Btw your homemade ones look the biz

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Costs going up probably. If they don’t think folk will pay more they piss about with the recipe and ingredients.

Sosmix, skins, and a sausage stuffer from the Internet. I may well never eat another Cauldron sausage again.

And now I'm going to start experimenting with flavours.

Nah, they were guaranteed sales. Not now though.

Yes, I'm increasingly of the view that this has to be a cost-cutting measure.

Well, not making sausages that can't sell will save costs.

I've got a damn good mind to take the two packs I still have in the freezer back to Tesco as "unsatisfactory". I'm only going to bin them otherwise.

Or maybe I'll just email Tesco to complain and see what they suggest.

I've started the ball rolling by leaving a blistering one-star review on the Tesco website.
