Forgot the frozen broad beans. I usually add broad beans. But you could use peas if you’re not keen.

Veggie Toad in the Hole

 

[Badgers]

Good to see some decent veggie sausage options. Am planning to include veggie options for my week long celebration.

 

[Epona]

When I do sausages I always do meat for me and veggie for Nate - for veggie toad I prefer quorn ones or other smooth veggie sossies, the Lindas have a slightly knobbly texture that doesn't work so well to form that all important batter-to-sausage interface... otherwise, cook it exactly the same as you would if it had meat sausages and it works a treat.

Nothing odd about that.

We tend to get the Cauldron ones, but if anyone has recommendations for really good veggie sausages, I'd be delighted to hear them.

(I'm a meat eater, but mrs mx is veggie, and I'm doing that "cutting down on meat" thing.)

Good insight.

I was veggie a long time ago and the sausages were not great no doubt things have moved on/improved since? Recommendations welcome here on the #sausagefest

Cauldron were my go to sausages. Less salty and dry than Linda imo. Not tried many more

 

[Epona]

I am not generally a fan of veggie sausages (I was veggie for a long time and have always hated and avoided quorn and soya products) but the Linda ones I like - both the normal ones and the red onion and rosemary ones - I think the latter taste a bit like stuffing, which I love

Good reason to have toad in the hole that week, winner

Thank you....cue classic, Home spun, comfort food, a hot dog
Quality roll, veggie sausage, caramelised onion topped with grated cheese.

Yeah, I need to go and buy some individual toad sized tins, but this sounds like a good reason. It might be a week of sausages, I like sausage casserole (nothing fancy, just sossies, onion, carrots, celery, bit of flour and some red wine and stock, served with buttery mash) too. And sausage, beans, chips/sausage, peas, mash, onion gravy/sausage, tinned tomatoes, cheesy mash too... All very comforting favourites here

I have a similar recipe but finish it off with a topping of breadcrumbs and herbs and stick it in the oven for 30 mins until crispy

It feels like sausage week was more recently than a year ago. Are there multiple, perhaps competing, sausage weeks?!

No

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Attention sausage lovers.

I just had a sausage baguette with fried onions. Sausages were not high quality but still overall a most pleasant culinary experience.

Message ends.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Ooooooh.....well that's made me want to make a sausage casserole for dinner

 

[Baronage-Phase]

Oddly, I made veggie sausage pasta for dinner last night.

More oddly, I made the pasta bake last evening and afterwards wished I had had sausages of any kind in it.

 

[Poot]

I find veggie frankfurters are generally nicer than veggie sausages. I think this is because real frankfurters contain such a small percentage of pork and a lot of flavourings that it's quite easy to mimic.

(I googled what's in a Frankfurter to be sure. I suggest you don't. )

Hairy Bikers’ sausage casserole for tea tonight and probably tomorrow too

It was definitely planned for national Sausage Week and not just what I pulled out of the freezer last night
