Dee’s Traditional Vegan Sausages

Vegan Sausagesdees_trad_saus

A pack of 6 naturally made vegan sausages. They are spiced with coriander, pepper, ginger and Irish Dulse Seaweed from Dee’s

I reviewed the garlic and mushroom sausages from this brand a few days ago and they were just wonderful.  These sausages are very similar but not as garlicky.  The flavour is spiced warming savoury sausages which is very nice and tasty.  They are not like any other vegan sausage out there and are definitely worth trying.  Very low calorie and no nasty ingredients.  Great with any meal that needs a traditional taste.  Ideal for bangers and mash, or a vegan breakfast.

With regards to cooking,  do not fry them.  Use the grill or the oven as the skin is hard to manage.  See my review for the Garlic version.

Each pack of 6 35gram sausages are suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Per sausage is 50kcal.  Low in fat and sugar.  Sold in Waitrose and Booths supermarket.  RRP is £3.49

VeGourmet Korn Krainer Sausages

Vegan Cheesey Sausagesvegourmet_korn_krainer

A pack of 4 vegan sausages containing vegan cheese called Korn Krainer from VeGourmet.

These are really nice but different type of sausages.  They have a firm, uniform texture.  They are a bit tricky to remove both from the outer vacuum packaging, and also the plastic sleeve.  Easy to cook – I just griddled mine.  Has the taste of a nicely spiced vegan sausage and cheese.  It’s a nicely balanced combination and makes a change from the regular vegan sausages.

Field Roast Smoked Apple Sage Sausages

Vegan Grain Sausagesfieldroast_app_sage_saus

A pack of 4 vegan grain meat sausages in a smoked apple and sage flavour from The Field Roast Grain Meat Co.

The sausages come as a chain of 4, all connected in a single sleeve that appears heat crimped between each sausage. Each sausage then need to have the plastic “skin” removed by snipping the end and sliding the scissors up the inside to allow the sausage to be released. This has the advantage that if all 4 are not cooked at the same time, the remaining sausages are still sealed. I cooked mine in a little sunflower oil.

The sausage are substantial – both in size and in density.  One is enough if you are having other things with it.

They have quite a chewy texture, which takes a little getting used to at first. The flavour is interesting though – sage and apple is present, but they have to battle against the flavour of the wheat gluten itself and the spices. The smoke flavour is a bit lost. The sausages retain a good level of moisture.  I enjoyed them.

Each pack of 4 sausages are suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Per 92 gram sausage is 240kcals.   I got mine from www.vegancross.com

Frys Meat Free Braai Style Sausages

Vegan Braai Sausagesfrys_braai

A pack of 8 Braai style vegan sausages from Frys Vegetarian.   Braai is a new term for me, so I looked it up,  it means to grill, outdoor bbq style, it is a South African term.

The sausages taste very much like the traditional sausages from Fry’s.  They are really savoury and tasty with a hint of spice.  The texture is good firm but easy to bite into.  These sausages would go great on a barbecue but equally would work great with a Sunday roast or for a sausage sandwich with mustard or ketchup.  I really like them.

Each 380gram pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Per sausage is 138kcal.  Sold in the freezer section of some health food shops or on line.

Vegan Spicy Hot Dogstaifun_sombreros

A pack of 4 Spicy Sombreros Sausages from Taifun.  I am surprised that I have not reviewed this brand before as they are in most health food shops,  it is great to try something new.

The sausages were a pleasant surprise,  made with tofu and spices these sausages were really good.  Very much like a hot dog but with warm spices.    I lightly fried mine in a pan, the skin bubbles when cooking then flatters back when you put them on your plate.  The sausages have a squarish profile and are a good size.  Really good flavour and I will definitely buy them again.

Each 250gram pack of 4 sausages are suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Organic.  Per 100grams is 258kcal.  Sold in health food shops and on line.  I got mine from an independent.

Vegan Rosemary and Red Onion Sausages

A pack of 6 red onion and rosemary vegetarian sausages from Linda McCartney’s. This is a special edition from the Linda McCartney range and I hope they keep making them.  They have a good flavour,  you can taste the rosemary and red onion but it is not overpowering.  The sausages are quite savoury and are perfect with mashed potato,  they would go very well with a roast dinner, good for the festive season.  You can oven cook them or grill them.  I lightly fried mine in some sunflower oil and they tasted good and the texture was nice and firm and moist.

Each 300gram pack of 6 sausages are suitable for vegans and vegetarians,  Per sausage is 64kcal.  Made with soya protein.  Vegetarian Society Approved.  Sold in supermarkets and health food shops.

I also like their new mushroom and ale pies which I reviewed earlier, they taste great and are perfect over the winter when you want something warming and tasty.

Please note my reviews are always honest and unbiased, however I feel it only right to point out that the marketing team of Linda McCartney’s did supply this product for me to review.

Veggie Lincolnshire Sausages

Holland & Barrett Premium Vegetarian Sausages

Lincolnshire Style sausage from Holland & Barrett own brand label.  6 Meat Free sausages from the freezer section.  The texture is firm but easy to bite into,  the flavour is quite good with a traditional taste.  I would suggest that you have them with mashed potato and Bisto Onion Gravy (I reviewed earlier).  To cook you can either grill, shallow fry or barbecue.  These would be good for the bbq as they should not fall apart.  Paul did not enjoy these as much as i did.

They are not the best vegan sausages I have had, but they are perfectly adequate.   Personally I prefer Redwood’s Lincolnshire Sausages.

300gram pack contains 6 meat free vegetarians sausages, suitable for vegans, dairy free, each sausage is 113k cal.  Sold in Holland & Barrett Freezer section. Priced at £1.69.
